[PATCH v2 0/2] Enable sysfs module symlink for more built-in drivers

[PATCH v2 0/2] Enable sysfs module symlink for more built-in drivers

[Shashank Balaji]

struct device_driver's mod_name is not set by a number of bus' driver registration
functions. Without that, built-in drivers don't have the module symlink in sysfs.
We want this to go from unbound driver name -> module name -> kernel config name.
This is useful on embedded platforms to minimize kernel config, reduce kernel size,
and reduce boot time.

In order to achieve this, mod_name has to be set to KBUILD_MODNAME, and this has
to be done for all buses which don't yet do this.

Here are some treewide stats:
- 110 registration functions across all bus types
- 20 of them set mod_name
- Remaining 90 do not set mod_name:
    1. 36 functions under pattern 1:
        They have a __register function + register macro. KBUILD_MODNAME needs to
        be passed and the function needs to take mod_name as input.
    2. 42 functions under pattern 2:
        These have no macro wrapper. They need a double-underscore rename + macro
        wrapper to make them similar to pattern 1.
    3. Remaining 12 do not have such a clean registration interface. More analysis
       is required.

We plan to start with pattern 1, since it's the easiest category of changes.
Within that, for now we're only sending the platform patch. If we get the go-ahead
on that, we'll send the remaining ones.

Patch 2 depends on patch 1, without which arm64 defconfig fails to boot with
patch 2.

[PATCH v2 1/2] kernel: param: handle NULL module_kset in lookup_or_create_module_kobject()

[Shashank Balaji]

module_kset is initialized in a subsys_initcall. If a built-in driver tries to
register before subsys_initcall with its struct device_driver's mod_name set,
then a null module_kset is dereferenced via this call trace:

     [    0.095865] Call trace:
     [    0.095999]  _raw_spin_lock+0x4c/0x6c (P)

     [    0.096851]  ret_from_fork+0x10/0x20

So, return null in lookup_or_create_module_kobject() if module_kset is null.
Existing callers handle null already.

null deref is hit.

So this isn't a bug, it's a "don't do that" type of thing :)

Are you sure that making this change is going to be ok?
mod_sysfs_init() should have been called first as the module has to be
created before it can be looked up.

As you are wanting "built in" drivers to show up here, you are going to
beat the call to param_sysfs_init(), so don't do that.  Make sure that
the drivers are NOT called before then.

The reason lookup_or_create_module_kobject() can be reached with module_kset == NULL
is that some platform drivers register before subsys_initcall: tegra194_cbb and
tegra234_cbb at pure_initcall, plus roughly 375 others at core_initcall/arch_initcall
(208 arch, 154 core, plus 2 pure and 13 _sync variants). These are dominated by
pinctrl, clk, interconnect, gpio, and mailbox drivers across six SoC vendor trees
(Qualcomm, MediaTek, Freescale, Samsung, Tegra, HiSilicon).

Given that, three ways forward:

  1. Move module_kset creation out of param_sysfs_init() (currently
     subsys_initcall) and call it directly from do_basic_setup()
     before do_initcalls(). This is the cleanest fix from a
     correctness angle: every initcall level sees a live
     module_kset. But it touches init/main.c and kernel/params.c,
     crosses two subsystem trees. I haven't fully audited
     dependencies at do_basic_setup() time.

  2. Demote the ~377 early-initcall platform drivers to
     subsys_initcall or later. Impractical at scale given coordination
     across six vendor trees, and many of these levels seem to be
     architecturally required.

  3. (This patch) Guard lookup_or_create_module_kobject() against
     NULL module_kset. Drivers registered before subsys_initcall
     don't get the /sys/.../module symlink, but they don't get it
     today either (drv->mod_name is NULL pre-patch, so the
     else-if (drv->mod_name) branch in module_add_driver() isn't
     taken). Verified on arm64: /sys/module/tegra194_cbb/ does not
     exist on a booted defconfig with or without my series. The
     guard preserves that exact state while letting the
     device_initcall majority get their symlinks as designed.

I went with option 3 because it preserves observable behaviour
everywhere and keeps the series scoped to driver-core. If you'd
rather I do option 1 instead, I'm happy to.

Thanks,
Shashank

That's not good, everyone wants to be first.  It's amazing it works at

That's one way, OR dynamically create the kset the first time it is

THat's going to confuse people as to why some have the link and others
do not.  How about moving it earlier OR creating it dynamically when
first needed?

[PATCH v2 2/2] driver core: platform: set mod_name in driver registration

[Shashank Balaji]

Pass KBUILD_MODNAME through the driver registration macro so that
the driver core can create the module symlink in sysfs for built-in
drivers, and fixup all callers.

The Rust platform adapter is updated to pass the module name through to the new
parameter.

Tested on qemu with:
- x86 defconfig + CONFIG_RUST
- arm64 defconfig + CONFIG_RUST + CONFIG_CORESIGHT

Examples after this patch:

    /sys/bus/platform/drivers/...
        coresight-itnoc/module		-> coresight_tnoc
        coresight-static-tpdm/module	-> coresight_tpdm
        coresight-catu-platform/module	-> coresight_catu
        serial8250/module		-> 8250
        acpi-ged/module			-> acpi
        vmclock/module			-> ptp_vmclock

Co-developed-by: Rahul Bukte <rahul.bukte@sony.com>
Signed-off-by: Rahul Bukte <rahul.bukte@sony.com>

Depends on the previous patch, without which the kernel fails to boot on arm64
defconfig.

That's a lot of different things all in one change, please break this up
into smaller bits, this is not going to work.

Especially as the coresight changes are incorrect, no individual module
should EVER have to list THIS_MODULE or KBUILD_MODNAME in a function, it
should happen automatically by the compiler using a helper #define, like
is done for other busses.

Please fix that up first, then you can worry about the other ones.

thanks,

[PATCH v3 0/4] Enable sysfs module symlink for more built-in drivers

[Shashank Balaji]

struct device_driver's mod_name is not set by a number of bus' driver registration
functions. Without that, built-in drivers don't have the module symlink in sysfs.
We want this to go from unbound driver name -> module name -> kernel config name.
This is useful on embedded platforms to minimize kernel config, reduce kernel size,
and reduce boot time.

In order to achieve this, mod_name has to be set to KBUILD_MODNAME, and this has
to be done for all buses which don't yet do this.

Here are some treewide stats:
- 110 registration functions across all bus types
- 20 of them set mod_name
- Remaining 90 do not set mod_name:
    1. 36 functions under pattern 1:
        They have a __register function + register macro. KBUILD_MODNAME needs to
        be passed and the function needs to take mod_name as input.
    2. 42 functions under pattern 2:
        These have no macro wrapper. They need a double-underscore rename + macro
        wrapper to make them similar to pattern 1.
    3. Remaining 12 do not have such a clean registration interface. More analysis
       is required.

We plan to start with pattern 1, since it's the easiest category of changes.
Within that, for now we're only sending the platform patch. If we get the go-ahead
on that, we'll send the remaining ones.

Patch 3 depends on patches 1 and 2.

[PATCH v3 1/4] kernel: param: initialize module_kset on-demand

[Shashank Balaji]

module_kset is initialized in param_sysfs_init(), a subsys_initcall. A number
of platform drivers register themselves prior to subsys_initcalls. With an
upcoming patch ("driver core: platform: set mod_name in driver registration")
that sets their mod_name in struct device_driver, lookup_or_create_module()
will be called for those drivers, which calls kset_find_object(module_kset, mod_name).
This fails because module_kset isn't alive yet.

Fix this by initializing module_kset on-demand in lookup_or_create_module().
Retain the param_sysfs_init() subsys_initcall to ensure that module_kset is
live after subsys_initcalls (assuming no OOM) for any users who may need it,
on the off chance that it wasn't init'd on-demand because of no
pre-subsys_initcall drivers.

This on-demand path can trigger before subsys_initcall. kset_create_and_add()
be should safe in those contexts because the allocator is up and running by then,
no userspace to start uevent helper or listen to a uevent socket.

[PATCH v3 2/4] coresight: pass THIS_MODULE implicitly through a macro

[Shashank Balaji]

Rename coresight_init_driver() to __coresight_init_driver() and replace
it with a macro wrapper that passes THIS_MODULE implicitly. This is in line with
what other buses do.

[PATCH v3 3/4] driver core: platform: set mod_name in driver registration

[Shashank Balaji]

Pass KBUILD_MODNAME through the driver registration macro so that
the driver core can create the module symlink in sysfs for built-in
drivers, and fixup all callers.

The Rust platform adapter is updated to pass the module name through to the new
parameter.

Tested on qemu with:
- x86 defconfig + CONFIG_RUST
- arm64 defconfig + CONFIG_RUST + CONFIG_CORESIGHT stuff

Examples after this patch:

    /sys/bus/platform/drivers/...
        coresight-itnoc/module		-> coresight_tnoc
        coresight-static-tpdm/module	-> coresight_tpdm
        coresight-catu-platform/module	-> coresight_catu
        serial8250/module		-> 8250
        acpi-ged/module			-> acpi
        vmclock/module			-> ptp_vmclock
