- Restructure the persistent memory to have a "scratch" area
Instead of hard coding the KASLR offset in the persistent memory
by the ring buffer, push that work up to the callers of the persistent
memory as they are the ones that need this information. The offsets
and such is not important to the ring buffer logic and it should
not be part of that.
A scratch pad is now created when the caller allocates a ring buffer
from persistent memory by stating how much memory it needs to save.
- Allow where modules are loaded to be saved in the new scratch pad
Save the addresses of modules when they are loaded into the persistent
memory scratch pad.
- A new module_for_each_mod() helper function was created
With the acknowledgement of the module maintainers a new module helper
function was created to iterate over all the currently loaded modules.
This has a callback to be called for each module. This is needed for
when tracing is started in the persistent buffer and the currently loaded
modules need to be saved in the scratch area.
- Expose the last boot information where the kernel and modules were loaded
The last_boot_info file is updated to print out the addresses of where
the kernel "_text" location was loaded from a previous boot, as well
as where the modules are loaded. If the buffer is recording the current
boot, it only prints "# Current" so that it does not expose the KASLR
offset of the currently running kernel.
- Allow the persistent ring buffer to be released (freed)
To have this in production environments, where the kernel command line can
not be changed easily, the ring buffer needs to be freed when it is not
going to be used. The memory for the buffer will always be allocated at
boot up, but if the system isn't going to enable tracing, the memory needs
to be freed. Allow it to be freed and added back to the kernel memory
pool.
- Allow stack traces to print the function names in the persistent buffer
Now that the modules are saved in the persistent ring buffer, if the same
modules are loaded, the printing of the function names will examine the
saved modules. If the module is found in the scratch area and is also
loaded, then it will do the offset shift and use kallsyms to display the
function name. If the address is not found, it simply displays the address
from the previous boot in hex.

The tracing system needs a way to save all the currently loaded modules
and their addresses into persistent memory so that it can evaluate the
addresses on a reboot from a crash. When the persistent memory trace
starts, it will load the module addresses and names into the persistent
memory. To do so, it will call the module_for_each_mod() function and pass
it a function and data structure to get called on each loaded module. Then
it can record the memory.
This only implements that function.

search_module_extables() returns an exception_table_entry belonging to a
module. The lookup via __module_address() can be performed with RCU
protection.
The returned exception_table_entry remains valid because the passed
address usually belongs to a module that is currently executed. So the
module can not be removed because "something else" holds a reference to
it, ensuring that it can not be removed.
Exceptions here are:
- kprobe, acquires a reference on the module beforehand
- MCE, invokes the function from within a timer and the RCU lifetime
guarantees (of the timer) are sufficient.
Therefore it is safe to return the exception_table_entry outside the RCU
section which provided the module.
Use RCU for the lookup in search_module_extables() and update the
comment.

add_kallsyms() assigns the RCU pointer module::kallsyms and setups the
structures behind it which point to init-data. The module was not
published yet, nothing can see the kallsyms pointer and the data behind
it. Also module's init function was not yet invoked.
There is no need to use rcu_dereference() here, it is just to keep

The RCU usage in module was introduced in commit d72b37513cdfb ("Remove
stop_machine during module load v2") and it claimed not to be RCU but
similar. Then there was another improvement in commit e91defa26c527
("module: don't use stop_machine on module load"). It become a mix of
RCU and RCU-sched and was eventually fixed 0be964be0d450 ("module:
Sanitize RCU usage and locking"). Later RCU & RCU-sched was merged in
commit cb2f55369d3a9 ("modules: Replace synchronize_sched() and
call_rcu_sched()") so that was aligned.
Looking at it today, there is still leftovers. The preempt_disable() was
used instead rcu_read_lock_sched(). The RCU & RCU-sched merge was not
complete as there is still rcu_dereference_sched() for module::kallsyms.
The RCU-list modules and unloaded_tainted_modules are always accessed
under RCU protection or the module_mutex. The modules list iteration can
always happen safely because the module will not disappear.
Once the module is removed (free_module()) then after removing the
module from the list, there is a synchronize_rcu() which waits until
every RCU reader left the section. That means iterating over the list
within a RCU-read section is enough, there is no need to disable
preemption. module::kallsyms is first assigned in add_kallsyms() before
the module is added to the list. At this point, it points to init data.
This pointer is later updated and before the init code is removed there
is also synchronize_rcu() in do_free_init(). That means A RCU read lock
is enough for protection and rcu_dereference() can be safely used.
Convert module code and its users step by step. Update comments and
convert print_modules() to use RCU.

Here is the big set of driver core and debugfs updates for 6.14-rc1.
It's coming late in the merge cycle as there are a number of merge
conflicts with your tree now, and I wanted to make sure they were
working properly. To resolve them, look in linux-next, and I will send
the "fixup" patch as a response to the pull request.
Included in here is a bunch of driver core, PCI, OF, and platform rust
bindings (all acked by the different subsystem maintainers), hence the
merge conflict with the rust tree, and some driver core api updates to

Switch away from using sha1 for module signing by default and use the
more modern sha512 instead, which is what among others Arch, Fedora,
RHEL, and Ubuntu are currently using for their kernels.
Sha1 has not been considered secure against well-funded opponents since
2005[1]; since 2011 the NIST and other organizations furthermore
recommended its replacement[2]. This is why OpenSSL on RHEL9, Fedora
Linux 41+[3], and likely some other current and future distributions
reject the creation of sha1 signatures, which leads to a build error of
allmodconfig configurations:
80A20474797F0000:error:03000098:digital envelope routines:do_sigver_init:invalid digest:crypto/evp/m_sigver.c:342:

This change makes allmodconfig work again and sets a default that is
more appropriate for current and future users, too.

A kobject is meant to manage the lifecycle of some resource.
However the module sysfs code only creates a kobject to get a
"notes" subdirectory in sysfs.
This can be achieved easier and cheaper by using a sysfs group.
Switch the notes attribute code to such a group, similar to how the

Adds a new format for MODVERSIONS which stores each field in a separate
ELF section. This initially adds support for variable length names, but
could later be used to add additional fields to MODVERSIONS in a
backwards compatible way if needed. Any new fields will be ignored by
old user tooling, unlike the current format where user tooling cannot
tolerate adjustments to the format (for example making the name field
longer).
Since PPC munges its version records to strip leading dots, we reproduce
the munging for the new format. Other architectures do not appear to
have architecture-specific usage of this information.

Commit 71810db27c1c ("modversions: treat symbol CRCs as 32 bit
quantities") changed the CRC fields to s32 because the __kcrctab and
__kcrctab_gpl sections contained relative references to the actual
CRC values stored in the .rodata section when CONFIG_MODULE_REL_CRCS=y.
Commit 7b4537199a4a ("kbuild: link symbol CRCs at final link, removing
CONFIG_MODULE_REL_CRCS") removed this complexity. Now, the __kcrctab
and __kcrctab_gpl sections directly contain the CRC values in all cases.
The genksyms tool outputs unsigned 32-bit CRC values, so u32 is preferred
over s32.
No functional changes are intended.
Regardless of this change, the CRC value is assigned to the u32 variable
'crcval' before the comparison, as seen in kernel/module/version.c:
crcval = *crc;
It was previously mandatory (but now optional) in order to avoid sign
extension because the following line previously compared 'unsigned long'
and 's32':
if (versions[i].crc == crcval)
return 1;
versions[i].crc is still 'unsigned long' for backward compatibility.

Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:
- The series "zram: optimal post-processing target selection" from
Sergey Senozhatsky improves zram's post-processing selection
algorithm. This leads to improved memory savings.
- Wei Yang has gone to town on the mapletree code, contributing several
series which clean up the implementation:
- "refine mas_mab_cp()"
- "Reduce the space to be cleared for maple_big_node"
- "maple_tree: simplify mas_push_node()"
- "Following cleanup after introduce mas_wr_store_type()"
- "refine storing null"
- The series "selftests/mm: hugetlb_fault_after_madv improvements" from
David Hildenbrand fixes this selftest for s390.
- The series "introduce pte_offset_map_{ro|rw}_nolock()" from Qi Zheng
implements some rationaizations and cleanups in the page mapping
code.
- The series "mm: optimize shadow entries removal" from Shakeel Butt
optimizes the file truncation code by speeding up the handling of
shadow entries.
- The series "Remove PageKsm()" from Matthew Wilcox completes the
migration of this flag over to being a folio-based flag.
- The series "Unify hugetlb into arch_get_unmapped_area functions" from
Oscar Salvador implements a bunch of consolidations and cleanups in
the hugetlb code.
- The series "Do not shatter hugezeropage on wp-fault" from Dev Jain
takes away the wp-fault time practice of turning a huge zero page
into small pages. Instead we replace the whole thing with a THP. More
consistent cleaner and potentiall saves a large number of pagefaults.
- The series "percpu: Add a test case and fix for clang" from Andy
Shevchenko enhances and fixes the kernel's built in percpu test code.
- The series "mm/mremap: Remove extra vma tree walk" from Liam Howlett
optimizes mremap() by avoiding doing things which we didn't need to
do.
- The series "Improve the tmpfs large folio read performance" from
Baolin Wang teaches tmpfs to copy data into userspace at the folio
size rather than as individual pages. A 20% speedup was observed.
- The series "mm/damon/vaddr: Fix issue in
damon_va_evenly_split_region()" fro Zheng Yejian fixes DAMON
splitting.
- The series "memcg-v1: fully deprecate charge moving" from Shakeel
Butt removes the long-deprecated memcgv2 charge moving feature.

this zswap operation.
- The series "kasan: migrate the last module test to kunit" from
Sabyrzhan Tasbolatov completes the migration of the KASAN built-in
tests over to the KUnit framework.
- The series "implement lightweight guard pages" from Lorenzo Stoakes
permits userapace to place fault-generating guard pages within a
single VMA, rather than requiring that multiple VMAs be created for

When a module gets unloaded there is a possibility that some of the
allocations it made are still used and therefore the allocation tags
corresponding to these allocations are still referenced. As such, the
memory for these tags can't be freed. This is currently handled as an
abnormal situation and module's data section is not being unloaded. To
handle this situation without keeping module's data in memory, allow
codetags with longer lifespan than the module to be loaded into their own
separate memory. The in-use memory areas and gaps after module unloading
in this separate memory are tracked using maple trees. Allocation tags
arrange their separate memory so that it is virtually contiguous and that
will allow simple allocation tag indexing later on in this patchset. The
size of this virtually contiguous memory is set to store up to 100000
allocation tags.

In order to support ROX allocations for module text, it is necessary to
handle modifications to the code, such as relocations and alternatives
patching, without write access to that memory.
One option is to use text patching, but this would make module loading
extremely slow and will expose executable code that is not finally formed.
A better way is to have memory allocated with ROX permissions contain
invalid instructions and keep a writable, but not executable copy of the
module text. The relocations and alternative patches would be done on the
writable copy using the addresses of the ROX memory. Once the module is
completely ready, the updated text will be copied to ROX memory using text
patching in one go and the writable copy will be freed.
Add support for that to module initialization code and provide necessary
interfaces in execmem.

With few exceptions emptiness checks are done as fd_file(...) in boolean
context (usually something like if (!fd_file(f))...); those will be
taken care of later.
However, there's a couple of places where we do those checks as
'store fd_file(...) into a variable, then check if this variable is
NULL' and those are harder to spot.
Get rid of those now.
use fd_empty() instead of extracting file and then checking it for NULL.
