[PATCH 0/4] kprobes: permit use without modules

[PATCH 0/4] kprobes: permit use without modules

[Mark Rutland]

Currently KPROBES depends on MODULES and cannot be built when support
for modules is not enabled. This is largely an artifact of the
default/generic code for allocating insn pages using module_alloc(),
though several architectures do not use this and have no strict
dependency on MODULES. It would be nice to allow KPROBES to be used
without MODULES, as this can be useful for testing and/or in certain
constrained environments.

This series (based on v6.9-rc1) removes the artificial dependency on
MODULES. This permits (but does not require) that architectures which
don't use module_alloc() to allocate kprobe insn pages can support
kprobes when module support is not enabled.

The series deliberately avoids adding a common text allocator, as the
requirements for allocating kprobe memory van vary by architecture, and
can differ from other text allocations. However, architectures can
easily call a common allocator if they wish, and this series does not
preclude using common allocators immediately or in future.

The key change is in patch 3. This requires that architectures which
provide their own alloc function must provide the corresponding free
function and select HAVE_KPROBES_ALLOC with any appropriate dependencies
for their implementation. Architectures which use the generic functions
are left as-is with a dependency on MODULES.

The final patch allows the core kprobes code to be built without
MODULES, and removes the explicit dependency from Kconfig. This is
derived from Jarkko's recent v6 attempt:

  https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20240326012102.27438-1-jarkko@kernel.org/
 
With the series applied, arm64 and riscv can enable KPROBES without
MODULES, while powerpc/s390/x86 are still depend on MODULES as their
alloc functions currently use module_alloc(), and all other
architectures with KPROBES uses the generic implementation that depends
on MODULES. I believe it should be relatively easy to enable
powerpc/s390/x86 to not depend on MODULES.

Mark.

[PATCH 1/4] arm64: patching: always use fixmap

[Mark Rutland]

For historical reasons, patch_map() won't bother to fixmap non-image
addresses when CONFIG_STRICT_MODULE_RWX=n, matching the behaviour prior
to the introduction of CONFIG_STRICT_MODULE_RWX. However, as arm64
doesn't select CONFIG_ARCH_OPTIONAL_KERNEL_RWX, CONFIG_MODULES implies
CONFIG_STRICT_MODULE_RWX, so any kernel built with module support will
use the fixmap for any non-image address.

Historically we only used patch_map() for the kernel image and modules,
but these days its also used by BPF and KPROBES to write to read-only
pages of executable text. Currently these both depend on CONFIG_MODULES,
but we'd like to change that in subsequent patches, which will require
using the fixmap regardless of CONFIG_STRICT_MODULE_RWX.

This patch changes patch_map() to always use the fixmap, and simplifies
the logic.

* Use is_image_text() directly in the if-else, rather than using a
  temporary boolean variable.

* Use offset_in_page() to get the offset within the mapping.

* Remove uintaddr and cast the address directly when using
  is_image_text().

For kernels built with CONFIG_MODULES=y, there should be no functional
change as a result of this patch. For kernels built with
CONFIG_MODULES=n, patch_map() will use the fixmap for non-image
addresses, but there are no extant users with non-image addresses when
CONFIG_MODULES=n.

[PATCH 2/4] kprobes/treewide: Add kprobes_ prefix to insn alloc/free functions

[Mark Rutland]

The alloc_(opt)insn_page() and free_(opt)insn_page() functions are
specific to KPROBES, but their name makes them sound more generic than
they are.

Given them a 'kprobes_' prefix to make it clear that they're part of
kprobes.

This was generated automatically with:

  sed -i 's/alloc_insn_page/kprobes_alloc_insn_page/' $(git grep -l 'alloc_insn_page')
  sed -i 's/free_insn_page/kprobes_free_insn_page/' $(git grep -l 'free_insn_page')
  sed -i 's/alloc_optinsn_page/kprobes_alloc_optinsn_page/' $(git grep -l 'alloc_optinsn_page')
  sed -i 's/free_optinsn_page/kprobes_free_optinsn_page/' $(git grep -l 'free_optinsn_page')

There should be no functional change as a result of this patch.

OK, great, I'll test this.

[PATCH 3/4] kprobes/treewide: Explicitly override alloc/free functions

[Mark Rutland]

Currently architectures can override kprobes_alloc_insn_page(), but
kprobes_free_insn_page() is always implemented using module_memfree(),
which might not be what an architecture needs, especially as we'd like
to make it possible to use kprobes without requiring MODULES.

It would be nicer if architectures either:

(a) Used only the generic kprobes_alloc_insn_page() and
    kprobes_free_insn_page(), implicitly depending on MODULES.

(b) Provided their own implementation of both kprobes_alloc_insn_page()
    and kprobes_free_insn_page(), handling the relevant dependencies
    themselves.

This patch applies that split treewide:

(a) Architectures using the generic kprobes_free_insn_page() and
    kprobes_free_insn_page() are left as-is. The __weak annotation is
    removed from the generic implementations so that accidental
    overrides/misuse can be detected easily.

(b) Architectures which provide their own kprobes_free_insn_page() are
    given a matching implementation of kprobes_free_insn_page(), and
    select HAVE_KPROBES_ALLOC.

    This new Kconfig symbol will allow subsequent patches to relax the
    dependency on MODULES to (MODULES || HAVE_KPROBES_ALLOC) once other
    module dependencies in the core kprobes code are cleaned up.

    Architectures which use module_alloc() are given an implementation
    using module_memfree() along with an explicit dependency on MODULES.

    Architectures using __vmalloc_node_range() are given an
    implementation using vfree(). This loses the warning for
    in_interrupt(), but vfree() can handle this via vfree_atomic(), so
    the warning isn't necessary.

    On riscv, the allocator depends on !XIP_KERNEL, which is already a
    dependency for HAVE_KPROBES in arch/riscv/Kconfig.

[PATCH 4/4] kprobes: Remove core dependency on modules

[Mark Rutland]

From: Jarkko Sakkinen <jarkko@kernel.org>

Tracing with kprobes while running a monolithic kernel is currently
impossible because KPROBES depends on MODULES. While this dependency is
necessary when KPROBES_USE_MODULE_ALLOC=y, all the other module-specific
code only exist to handle the case when MODULES=y, and can be hidden
behind ifdeffery.

Add the necessary ifdeffery, and remove the dependency on MODULES=N when
KPROBES_USE_MODULE_ALLOC=n.

Currently this allows kprobes to be used when CONFIG_MODULES=n on arm64
and riscv, and other architectures can enable support by implementing
their own kprobes_alloc_insn_page() and kprobes_free_insn_page() which
do not depend on MODULES.

This can be scoped a bit more (see v7 of my patch set).

The last two CONFIG_MODULES sections could be combined. This was also in
v7.

Great! I've folded your v7 changes in, and pushed that out to:

  https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mark/linux.git/log/?h=kprobes/without-modules

I'll hold off sending that out to the list until other folk have had a chance
to comment.

Mark.

Yeah, I'm also planning to test this with x86 instrumenting sgx_* calls
as I need to test the cgroups support for it so can help with the
coverage both RISC-V and x86 (as I find a good time slot).

As for RISC-V:

Tested-by: Jarkko Sakkinen <jarkko@kernel.org> # arch/riscv

I'm fine with adding to all patches because it would be hard
to place tested-by to any specific patch (e.g. if this was a
syscall I would give tested-by just for that patch).

Just adding disclaimer because depending on subsystem people
are more or less strict with this tag :-)

Except for the 1st patch because that is for arm64, right? :)

Right! For that not required :-)

Whoops; that should be:

	depends on MODULES || HAVE_KPROBES_ALLOC

... with similar fixups in the commit message to describe HAVE_KPROBES_ALLOC
rather than KPROBES_USE_MODULE_ALLOC (which does not exist in any version of
the series that got sent to the list).

I'll send a v2 with that fixed (and the other changes from Jarkko's v7 base
patch) once I've locally tested that for architectures with and without
HAVE_KPROBES_ALLOC.

Mark.

OK, please put to me to the CC list as I'm not ATM subscribed
to the tracing list.
