[PATCH v7 04/10] livepatch: Add sample livepatch module

Joe Lawrence
2023-03-06T14:17:02Z

Add a new livepatch sample in samples/livepatch/ to make use of symbols
that must be post-processed to enable load-time relocation resolution.
As the new sample is to be used as an example, it is annotated with
KLP_MODULE_RELOC and with KLP_SYMPOS macros.

The livepatch sample updates the function cmdline_proc_show to print the
string referenced by the symbol saved_command_line appended by the
string "livepatch=1".

Update livepatch-sample.c to remove livepatch MODULE_INFO statement.

+ * This (dumb) live patch overrides the function that prints the
+ * kernel boot cmdline when /proc/cmdline is read.
+ *
+ * This livepatch uses the symbol saved_command_line whose relocation
+ * must be resolved during load time. To enable that, this module
+ * must be post-processed by a tool called klp-convert, which embeds
+ * information to be used by the loader to solve the relocation.
+ *
+ * The module is annotated with KLP_MODULE_RELOC/KLP_SYMPOS macros.
+ * These annotations are used by klp-convert to infer that the symbol
+ * saved_command_line is in the object vmlinux.
+ *
+ * As saved_command_line has no other homonimous symbol across
+ * kernel objects, this annotation is not a requirement, and can be
+ * suppressed with no harm to klp-convert. Yet, it is kept here as an
+ * example on how to annotate livepatch modules that contain symbols
+ * whose names are used in more than one kernel object.
+ *
+ * Example:
+ *
+ * $ cat /proc/cmdline
+ * <your cmdline>
+ *
+ * $ insmod livepatch-sample.ko
+ * $ cat /proc/cmdline
+ * <your cmdline> livepatch=1
+ *
+ * $ echo 0 > /sys/kernel/livepatch/livepatch_sample/enabled
+ * $ cat /proc/cmdline
+ * <your cmdline>
