MIPS: Use NOKPROBE_SYMBOL() instead of __kprobes annotation

2022-05-12T16:00:51Z

If define CONFIG_KPROBES, __kprobes annotation forces the whole function into the ".kprobes.text" section, NOKPROBE_SYMBOL() only stores the given function address in the "_kprobe_blacklist" section which is introduced to maintain kprobes blacklist. Modify the related code to use NOKPROBE_SYMBOL() to protect functions from kprobes instead of __kprobes annotation under arch/mips. No obvious functional change in this patch, some more work needs to be done to fix the kernel panic when execute the following testcase on mips: # cd tools/testing/selftests/ftrace # ./ftracetest test.d/kprobe/multiple_kprobes.tc Signed-off-by: Tiezhu Yang Acked-by: Masami Hiramatsu Signed-off-by: Thomas Bogendoerfer

kprobes: treewide: Make it harder to refer kretprobe_trampoline directly

2021-10-01T01:24:06Z

Since now there is kretprobe_trampoline_addr() for referring the address of kretprobe trampoline code, we don't need to access kretprobe_trampoline directly. Make it harder to refer by renaming it to __kretprobe_trampoline().

kprobes: treewide: Remove trampoline_address from kretprobe_trampoline_handler()

2021-10-01T01:24:06Z

The __kretprobe_trampoline_handler() callback, called from low level arch kprobes methods, has the 'trampoline_address' parameter, which is entirely superfluous as it basically just replicates: dereference_kernel_function_descriptor(kretprobe_trampoline) In fact we had bugs in arch code where it wasn't replicated correctly. So remove this superfluous parameter and use kretprobe_trampoline_addr() instead.

kprobes: treewide: Cleanup the error messages for kprobes

2021-10-01T01:24:05Z

This clean up the error/notification messages in kprobes related code. Basically this defines 'pr_fmt()' macros for each files and update the messages which describes - what happened, - what is the kernel going to do or not do, - is the kernel fine, - what can the user do about it. Also, if the message is not needed (e.g. the function returns unique error code, or other error message is already shown.) remove it, and replace the message with WARN_*() macros if suitable.

kprobes: Remove kprobe::fault_handler

2021-06-01T14:00:08Z

The reason for kprobe::fault_handler(), as given by their comment: * We come here because instructions in the pre/post * handler caused the page_fault, this could happen * if handler tries to access user space by * copy_from_user(), get_user() etc. Let the * user-specified handler try to fix it first. Is just plain bad. Those other handlers are ran from non-preemptible context and had better use _nofault() functions. Also, there is no upstream usage of this.

mm, kprobes: generalize and rename notify_page_fault() as kprobe_page_fault()

2019-07-17T02:23:22Z

Architectures which support kprobes have very similar boilerplate around calling kprobe_fault_handler(). Use a helper function in kprobes.h to unify them, based on the x86 code. This changes the behaviour for other architectures when preemption is enabled. Previously, they would have disabled preemption while calling the kprobe handler. However, preemption would be disabled if this fault was due to a kprobe, so we know the fault was not due to a kprobe handler and can simply return failure. This behaviour was introduced in commit a980c0ef9f6d ("x86/kprobes: Refactor kprobes_fault() like kprobe_exceptions_notify()") [anshuman.khandual@arm.com: export kprobe_fault_handler()] Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1561133358-8876-1-git-send-email-anshuman.khandual@arm.com Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1560420444-25737-1-git-send-email-anshuman.khandual@arm.com Signed-off-by: Anshuman Khandual Reviewed-by: Dave Hansen Cc: Michal Hocko Cc: Matthew Wilcox Cc: Mark Rutland Cc: Christophe Leroy Cc: Stephen Rothwell Cc: Andrey Konovalov Cc: Michael Ellerman Cc: Paul Mackerras Cc: Russell King Cc: Catalin Marinas Cc: Will Deacon Cc: Tony Luck Cc: Fenghua Yu Cc: Martin Schwidefsky Cc: Heiko Carstens Cc: Yoshinori Sato Cc: "David S.

Pull force_sig() argument change from Eric Biederman: "A source of error over the years has been that force_sig has taken a task parameter when it is only safe to use force_sig with the current task. The force_sig function is built for delivering synchronous signals such as SIGSEGV where the userspace application caused a synchronous fault (such as a page fault) and the kernel responded with a signal. Because the name force_sig does not make this clear, and because the force_sig takes a task parameter the function force_sig has been abused for sending other kinds of signals over the years. Slowly those have been fixed when the oopses have been tracked down. This set of changes fixes the remaining abusers of force_sig and carefully rips out the task parameter from force_sig and friends making this kind of error almost impossible in the future" * 'siginfo-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace: (27 commits) signal/x86: Move tsk inside of CONFIG_MEMORY_FAILURE in do_sigbus signal: Remove the signal number and task parameters from force_sig_info signal: Factor force_sig_info_to_task out of force_sig_info signal: Generate the siginfo in force_sig signal: Move the computation of force into send_signal and correct it. signal: Properly set TRACE_SIGNAL_LOSE_INFO in __send_signal signal: Remove the task parameter from force_sig_fault signal: Use force_sig_fault_to_task for the two calls that don't deliver to current signal: Explicitly call force_sig_fault on current signal/unicore32: Remove tsk parameter from __do_user_fault signal/arm: Remove tsk parameter from __do_user_fault signal/arm: Remove tsk parameter from ptrace_break signal/nds32: Remove tsk parameter from send_sigtrap signal/riscv: Remove tsk parameter from do_trap signal/sh: Remove tsk parameter from force_sig_info_fault signal/um: Remove task parameter from send_sigtrap signal/x86: Remove task parameter from send_sigtrap signal: Remove task parameter from force_sig_mceerr signal: Remove task parameter from force_sig signal: Remove task parameter from force_sigsegv ...
