The atomic replace allows to create cumulative patches. They
are useful when you maintain many livepatches and want to remove
one that is lower on the stack. In addition it is very useful when
more patches touch the same function and there are dependencies
between them.

Now, the question is if 13 is a lucky number. I hope so
and that this version might get merged. Any feedback?
Not only from Mirek, please ;-)


Changes against v12:

  + Finish freeing the patch using workqueues to prevent
    deadlock against kobject code.

  + Check for valid pointers when initializing the dynamic
    lists objects and functions.

  + Mark klp_free_objects_dynamic() static.

  + Improved documentation and fixed typos


Changes against v11:

  + Functional changes:

    + Livepatches get automatically unregistered when disabled.
      Note that the sysfs interface disappears at this point.
      It simplifies the API and code. The only drawback is that
      the patch can be enabled again only by reloading the module.

    + Refuse to load conflicting patches. The same function can
      be patched again only by a new cumulative patch that
      replaces all older ones.

    + Non-conflicting patches can be loaded and disabled in any
      order.
      

  + API related changes:

     + Change void *new_func -> unsigned long new_addr in
       struct klp_func.

     + Several new macros to hide implementation details and
       avoid casting when defining struct klp-func and klp_object.

     + Remove obsolete klp_register_patch() klp_unregister_patch() API


  + Change in selftest against v4:

     + Use new macros to define struct klp_func and klp_object.

     + Remove klp_register_patch()/klp_unregister_patch() calls.

     + Replace load_mod() + wait_for_transition() with three
       variants load_mod(), load_lp(), load_lp_nowait(). IMHO,
       it is easier to use because we need to detect the end
       of transaction another way after disable_lp() now.

     + Replaced unload_mod() with two variants unload_mod(),
       unload_lp() to match the above change.

     + Wait for the end of transition in disable_lp()
       instead of the unreliable check of the sysfs interface.

     Note that I did not touch the logs with expected result.
     They stay exactly the same as in v4 posted by Joe.
     I hope that it is a good sign ;-)


Changes against v10:

  + Bug fixes and functional changes:
    + Handle Nops in klp_ftrace_handled() to avoid infinite loop [Mirek]
    + Really add dynamically allocated klp_object into the list [Petr]
    + Clear patch->replace when transition finishes [Josh]

  + Refactoring and clean up [Josh]:
    + Replace enum types with bools
    + Avoid using ERR_PTR
    + Remove too paranoid warnings
    + Distinguish registered patches by a flag instead of a list
    + Squash some functions
    + Update comments, documentation, and commit messages
    + Squashed and split patches to do more controversial changes later

Changes against v9:

  + Fixed check of valid NOPs for already loaded objects,
    regression introduced in v9 [Joe, Mirek]
  + Allow to replace even disabled patches [Evgenii]

Changes against v8:

  + Fixed handling of statically defined struct klp_object
    with empty array of functions [Joe, Mirek]
  + Removed redundant func->new_func assignment for NOPs [Mirek]
  + Improved some wording [Mirek]

Changes against v7:

  + Fixed handling of NOPs for not-yet-loaded modules
  + Made klp_replaced_patches list static [Mirek]
  + Made klp_free_object() public later [Mirek]
  + Fixed several reported typos [Mirek, Joe]
  + Updated documentation according to the feedback [Joe]
  + Added some Acks [Mirek]

Changes against v6:

  + used list_move when disabling replaced patches [Jason]
  + renamed KLP_FUNC_ORIGINAL -> KLP_FUNC_STATIC [Mirek]
  + used klp_is_func_type() in klp_unpatch_object() [Mirek]
  + moved static definition of klp_get_or_add_object() [Mirek]
  + updated comment about synchronization in forced mode [Mirek]
  + added user documentation
  + fixed several typos

  Cc: Jason Baron, Joe Lawrence, Evgenii Shatokhin, live-patching,
	linux-kernel, Petr Mladek

The address of the to be patched function and new function is stored
in struct klp_func as:

	void *new_func;
	unsigned long old_addr;

The different naming scheme and type is derived from the way how
the addresses are set. @old_addr is assigned at runtime using
kallsyms-based search. @new_func is statically initialized,
for example:

  static struct klp_func funcs[] = {
	{
		.old_name = "cmdline_proc_show",
		.new_func = livepatch_cmdline_proc_show,
	}, { }
  };

This patch changes void *new_func -> unsigned long new_addr. It removes
some confusion when these address are later used in the code. It is
motivated by a followup patch that adds special NOP struct klp_func
where we want to assign func->new_func = func->old_addr respectively
func->new_addr = func->old_addr.

This patch does not modify the existing behavior.

IMPORTANT: This patch modifies ABI. The patches will need to use,
for example:

  static struct klp_func funcs[] = {
	{
		.old_name = "cmdline_proc_show",
		.new_addr = (unsigned long)livepatch_cmdline_proc_show,
	}, { }
  };

The definition of struct klp_func might be a bit confusing.
The original function is defined by name as a string.
The new function is defined by name as a function pointer
casted to unsigned long.

This patch adds helper macros that hide the different types.
The functions are defined just by the name. For example:

static struct klp_func funcs[] = {
	{
		.old_name = "function_A",
		.new_addr = (unsigned long)livepatch_function_A,
	}, {
		.old_name = "function_B",
		.new_addr = (unsigned long)livepatch_function_B,
	}, { }
};

can be defined as:

static struct klp_func funcs[] = {
	KLP_FUNC(function_A,
		 livepatch_function_A),
	KLP_FUNC(function_B,
		 livepatch_function_B),
	KLP_FUNC_END
};

Just for completeness, this patch adds similar macros to define
struct klp_object. For example,

static struct klp_object objs[] = {
	{
		/* name being NULL means vmlinux */
		.funcs = funcs_vmlinux,
	}, {
		.name = "module_A",
		.funcs = funcs_module_A,
	}, {
		.name = "module_B",
		.funcs = funcs_module_B,
	}, { }
};

can be defined as:

static struct klp_object objs[] = {
	KLP_VMLINUX(funcs_vmlinux),
	KLP_OBJECT(module_A,
		   funcs_module_A),
	KLP_OBJECT(module_B,
		   funcs_module_B),
	KLP_OBJECT_END
};

We are going to simplify the API and code by removing the registration
step. This would require calling init/free functions from enable/disable
ones.

This patch just moves the code to prevent more forward declarations.

This patch does not change the code except of two forward declarations.

	linux-kernel, Petr Mladek, Jessica Yu

The code for freeing livepatch structures is a bit scattered and tricky:

  + direct calls to klp_free_*_limited() and kobject_put() are
    used to release partially initialized objects

  + klp_free_patch() removes the patch from the public list
    and releases all objects except for patch->kobj

  + object_put(&patch->kobj) and the related wait_for_completion()
    are called directly outside klp_mutex; this code is duplicated;

Now, we are going to remove the registration stage to simplify the API
and the code. This would require handling more situations in
klp_enable_patch() error paths.

More importantly, we are going to add a feature called atomic replace.
It will need to dynamically create func and object structures. We will
want to reuse the existing init() and free() functions. This would
create even more error path scenarios.

This patch implements a more clever free functions:

  + checks kobj.state_initialized instead of @limit

  + initializes patch->list early so that the check for empty list
    always works

  + The action(s) that has to be done outside klp_mutex are done
    in separate klp_free_patch_finish() function. It waits only
    when patch->kobj was really released via the _start() part.

This patch does not change the existing behavior.

module_put() is currently never called in klp_complete_transition() when
klp_force is set. As a result, we might keep the reference count even when
klp_enable_patch() fails and klp_cancel_transition() is called.

This might make an assumption that a module might get blocked in some
strange init state. Fortunately, it is not the case. The reference count
is ignored when mod->init fails and erroneous modules are always removed.

Anyway, this might make some confusion. Instead, this patch moves
the global klp_forced flag into struct klp_patch. As a result,
we block only modules that might still be in use after a forced
transition. Newly loaded livepatches might be eventually completely
removed later.

It is not a big deal. But the code is at least consistent with
the reality.

The possibility to re-enable a registered patch was useful for immediate
patches where the livepatch module had to stay until the system reboot.
The improved consistency model allows to achieve the same result by
unloading and loading the livepatch module again.

Also we are going to add a feature called atomic replace. It will allow
to create a patch that would replace all already registered patches.
The aim is to handle dependent patches more securely. It will obsolete
the stack of patches that helped to handle the dependencies so far.
Then it might be unclear when a cumulative patch re-enabling is safe.

It would be complicated to support the many modes. Instead we could
actually make the API and code easier to understand.

This patch removes the two step public API. All the checks and init calls
are moved from klp_register_patch() to klp_enabled_patch(). Also the patch
is automatically freed, including the sysfs interface when the transition
to the disabled state is completed.

As a result, there is never a disabled patch on the top of the stack.
Therefore we do not need to check the stack in __klp_enable_patch().
And we could simplify the check in __klp_disable_patch().

Also the API and logic is much easier. It is enough to call
klp_enable_patch() in module_init() call. The patch patch can be disabled
by writing '0' into /sys/kernel/livepatch/<patch>/enabled. Then the module
can be removed once the transition finishes and sysfs interface is freed.

The only problem is how to free the structures and kobjects a safe way.
The operation is triggered from the sysfs interface. We could not put
the related kobject from there because it would cause lock inversion
between klp_mutex and kernfs locks, see kn->count lockdep map.

This patch solved the problem by offloading the free task to
a workqueue. It is perfectly fine:

  + The patch cannot not longer be used in the livepatch operations.

  + The module could not be removed until the free operation finishes
    and module_put() is called.

  + The operation is asynchronous already when the first
    klp_try_complete_transition() fails and another call
    is queued with a delay.

This patch does the following to keep the code sane:

  + patch->forced is replaced with patch->module_put and an inverted logic.
    Then we could call it in klp_enable_patch() error path even before
    the reference is taken.

  + try_module_get() is called before initializing patch->kobj. It makes
    it more symmetric with the moved module_put().

  + module_put() is the last action also in klp_free_patch_sync_end().
    It makes it safe for an use outside module_init().

 5. Livepatch life-cycle
 =======================
 
-Livepatching defines four basic operations that define the life cycle of each
-live patch: registration, enabling, disabling and unregistration.  There are
-several reasons why it is done this way.
+Livepatches get automatically enabled when the respective module is loaded.
+On the other hand, the module can be removed only after the patch was
+successfully disabled via the sysfs interface.
 
-First, the patch is applied only when all patched symbols for already
-loaded objects are found. The error handling is much easier if this
-check is done before particular functions get redirected.
 
-Second, it might take some time until the entire system is migrated with
-the hybrid consistency model being used. The patch revert might block
-the livepatch module removal for too long. Therefore it is useful to
-revert the patch using a separate operation that might be called
-explicitly. But it does not make sense to remove all information until
-the livepatch module is really removed.
-
-
-5.1. Registration
------------------
-
-Each patch first has to be registered using klp_register_patch(). This makes
-the patch known to the livepatch framework. Also it does some preliminary
-computing and checks.
-
-In particular, the patch is added into the list of known patches. The
-addresses of the patched functions are found according to their names.
-The special relocations, mentioned in the section "New functions", are
-applied. The relevant entries are created under
-/sys/kernel/livepatch/<name>. The patch is rejected when any operation
-fails.

 -------------
 
-Registered patches might be enabled either by calling klp_enable_patch() or
-by writing '1' to /sys/kernel/livepatch/<name>/enabled. The system will
-start using the new implementation of the patched functions at this stage.
+Livepatch modules have to call klp_enable_patch() in module_init() callback.
+This function is rather complex and might even fail in the early phase.
 
-When a patch is enabled, livepatch enters into a transition state where
-tasks are converging to the patched state.  This is indicated by a value
-of '1' in /sys/kernel/livepatch/<name>/transition.  Once all tasks have
-been patched, the 'transition' value changes to '0'.  For more
-information about this process, see the "Consistency model" section.

+names. The special relocations, mentioned in the section "New functions",
+are applied. The relevant entries are created under

+operation fails.
 
-If an original function is patched for the first time, a function

-only once for the given function. Further patches just add an entry to the
-list (see field `func_stack`) of the struct klp_ops. The last added
-entry is chosen by the ftrace handler and becomes the active function

From: Jason Baron <jbaron@akamai.com>

Currently klp_patch contains a pointer to a statically allocated array of
struct klp_object and struct klp_objects contains a pointer to a statically
allocated array of klp_func. In order to allow for the dynamic allocation
of objects and functions, link klp_patch, klp_object, and klp_func together
via linked lists. This allows us to more easily allocate new objects and
functions, while having the iterator be a simple linked list walk.

The static structures are added to the lists early. It allows to add
the dynamically allocated objects before klp_init_object() and
klp_init_func() calls. Therefore it reduces the further changes
to the code.

This patch does not change the existing behavior.

From: Jason Baron <jbaron@akamai.com>

Sometimes we would like to revert a particular fix. Currently, this
is not easy because we want to keep all other fixes active and we
could revert only the last applied patch.

One solution would be to apply new patch that implemented all
the reverted functions like in the original code. It would work
as expected but there will be unnecessary redirections. In addition,
it would also require knowing which functions need to be reverted at
build time.

Another problem is when there are many patches that touch the same
functions. There might be dependencies between patches that are
not enforced on the kernel side. Also it might be pretty hard to
actually prepare the patch and ensure compatibility with the other
patches.

Atomic replace && cumulative patches:

A better solution would be to create cumulative patch and say that
it replaces all older ones.

This patch adds a new "replace" flag to struct klp_patch. When it is
enabled, a set of 'nop' klp_func will be dynamically created for all
functions that are already being patched but that will no longer be
modified by the new patch. They are used as a new target during
the patch transition.

The idea is to handle Nops' structures like the static ones. When
the dynamic structures are allocated, we initialize all values that
are normally statically defined.

The only exception is "new_addr" in struct klp_func. It has to point
to the original function and the address is known only when the object
(module) is loaded. Note that we really need to set it. The address is
used, for example, in klp_check_stack_func().

Nevertheless we still need to distinguish the dynamically allocated
structures in some operations. For this, we add "nop" flag into
struct klp_func and "dynamic" flag into struct klp_object. They
need special handling in the following situations:

  + The structures are added into the lists of objects and functions
    immediately. In fact, the lists were created for this purpose.

  + The address of the original function is known only when the patched
    object (module) is loaded. Therefore it is copied later in
    klp_init_object_loaded().

  + The ftrace handler must not set PC to func->new_addr. It would cause
    infinite loop because the address points back to the beginning of
    the original function.

  + The various free() functions must free the structure itself.

Note that other ways to detect the dynamic structures are not considered
safe. For example, even the statically defined struct klp_object might
include empty funcs array. It might be there just to run some callbacks.

Special callbacks handling:

The callbacks from the replaced patches are _not_ called by intention.
It would be pretty hard to define a reasonable semantic and implement it.

It might even be counter-productive. The new patch is cumulative. It is
supposed to include most of the changes from older patches. In most cases,
it will not want to call pre_unpatch() post_unpatch() callbacks from
the replaced patches. It would disable/break things for no good reasons.
Also it should be easier to handle various scenarios in a single script
in the new patch than think about interactions caused by running many
scripts from older patches. Not to say that the old scripts even would
not expect to be called in this situation.

Removing replaced patches:

One nice effect of the cumulative patches is that the code from the
older patches is no longer used. Therefore the replaced patches can
be removed. It has several advantages:

  + Nops' structs will not longer be necessary and might be removed.
    This would save memory, restore performance (no ftrace handler),
    allow clear view on what is really patched.

  + Disabling the patch will cause using the original code everywhere.
    Therefore the livepatch callbacks could handle only one scenario.
    Note that the complication is already complex enough when the patch
    gets enabled. It is currently solved by calling callbacks only from
    the new cumulative patch.

  + The state is clean in both the sysfs interface and lsmod. The modules
    with the replaced livepatches might even get removed from the system.

Some people actually expected this behavior from the beginning. After all
a cumulative patch is supposed to "completely" replace an existing one.
It is like when a new version of an application replaces an older one.

This patch does the first step. It removes the replaced patches from
the list of patches. It is safe. The consistency model ensures that
they are not longer used. By other words, each process works only with
the structures from klp_transition_patch.

The removal is done by a special function. It combines actions done by
__disable_patch() and klp_complete_transition(). But it is a fast
track without all the transaction-related stuff.

Replaced patches are removed from the stack when the transition is
finished. It means that Nop structures will never be needed again
and can be removed. Why should we care?

  + Nop structures make false feeling that the function is patched
    even though the ftrace handler has no effect.

  + Ftrace handlers are not completely for free. They cause slowdown that
    might be visible in some workloads. The ftrace-related slowdown might
    actually be the reason why the function is not longer patched in
    the new cumulative patch. One would expect that cumulative patch
    would allow to solve these problems as well.

  + Cumulative patches are supposed to replace any earlier version of
    the patch. The amount of NOPs depends on which version was replaced.
    This multiplies the amount of scenarios that might happen.

    One might say that NOPs are innocent. But there are even optimized
    NOP instructions for different processor, for example, see
    arch/x86/kernel/alternative.c. And klp_ftrace_handler() is much
    more complicated.

  + It sounds natural to clean up a mess that is not longer needed.
    It could only be worse if we do not do it.

This patch allows to unpatch and free the dynamic structures independently
when the transition finishes.

The free part is a bit tricky because kobject free callbacks are called
asynchronously. We could not wait for them easily. Fortunately, we do
not have to. Any further access can be avoided by removing them from
the dynamic lists.

+===================================
+Atomic Replace & Cumulative Patches
+===================================
+
+There might be dependencies between livepatches. If multiple patches need
+to do different changes to the same function(s) then we need to define
+an order in which the patches will be installed. And function implementations
+from any newer livepatch must be done on top of the older ones.
+
+This might become a maintenance nightmare. Especially if anyone would want
+to remove a patch that is in the middle of the stack.
+
+An elegant solution comes with the feature called "Atomic Replace". It allows
+to create so called "Cumulative Patches". They include all wanted changes
+from all older livepatches and completely replace them in one transition.
+
+Usage
+-----
+
+The atomic replace can be enabled by setting "replace" flag in struct klp_patch,
+for example:
+
+	static struct klp_patch patch = {
+		.mod = THIS_MODULE,
+		.objs = objs,
+		.replace = true,
+	};
+
+Such a patch is added on top of the livepatch stack when enabled.
+
+All processes are then migrated to use the code only from the new patch.
+Once the transition is finished, all older patches are automatically
+disabled and removed from the stack of patches.
+
+Ftrace handlers are transparently removed from functions that are no
+longer modified by the new cumulative patch.
+
+As a result, the livepatch authors might maintain sources only for one
+cumulative patch. It helps to keep the patch consistent while adding or
+removing various fixes or features.
+
+Users could keep only the last patch installed on the system after
+the transition to has finished. It helps to clearly see what code is
+actually in use. Also the livepatch might then be seen as a "normal"
+module that modifies the kernel behavior. The only difference is that
+it can be updated at runtime without breaking its functionality.
+
+
+Features
+--------
+
+The atomic replace allows:
+
+  + Atomically revert some functions in a previous patch while
+    upgrading other functions.
+
+  + Remove eventual performance impact caused by core redirection
+    for functions that are no longer patched.
+
+  + Decrease user confusion about stacking order and what code
+    is actually in use.
+
+
+Limitations:
+------------
+
+  + Once the operation finishes, there is no straightforward way
+    to reverse it and restore the replaced patches atomically.
+
+    A good practice is to set .replace flag in any released livepatch.
+    Then re-adding an older livepatch is equivalent to downgrading
+    to that patch. This is safe as long as the livepatches do _not_ do
+    extra modifications in (un)patching callbacks or in the module_init()
+    or module_exit() functions, see below.
+
+    Also note that the replaced patch can be removed and loaded again
+    only when the transition was not forced.
+
+
+  + Only the (un)patching callbacks from the _new_ cumulative livepatch are
+    executed. Any callbacks from the replaced patches are ignored.
+
+    In other words, the cumulative patch is responsible for doing any actions
+    that are necessary to properly replace any older patch.
+
+    As a result, it might be dangerous to replace newer cumulative patches by
+    older ones. The old livepatches might not provide the necessary callbacks.
+
+    This might be seen as a limitation in some scenarios. But it makes the life
+    easier in many others. Only the new cumulative livepatch knows what
+    fixes/features are added/removed and what special actions are necessary
+    for a smooth transition.
+
+    In any case, it would be a nightmare to think about the order of
+    the various callbacks and their interactions if the callbacks from all
+    enabled patches were called.
+
+
+  + There is no special handling of shadow variables. Livepatch authors
+    must create their own rules how to pass them from one cumulative
+    patch to the other. Especially they should not blindly remove them
+    in module_exit() functions.
+
+    A good practice might be to remove shadow variables in the post-unpatch
+    callback. It is called only when the livepatch is properly disabled.

The atomic replace and cumulative patches were introduced as a more secure
way to handle dependent patches. They simplify the logic:

  + Any new cumulative patch is supposed to take over shadow variables
    and changes made by callbacks from previous livepatches.

  + All replaced patches are discarded and the modules can be unloaded.
    As a result, there is only one scenario when a cumulative livepatch
    gets disabled.

The different handling of "normal" and cumulative patches might cause
confusion. It would make sense to keep only one mode. On the other hand,
it would be rude to enforce using the cumulative livepatches even for
trivial and independent (hot) fixes.

This patch removes the stack of patches. The list of enabled patches
is still needed but the ordering is not longer enforced.

Note that it is not possible to catch all possible dependencies. It is
the responsibility of the livepatch authors to decide.

Nevertheless this patch prevents having two patches for the same function
enabled at the same time after the transition finishes. It might help
to catch obvious mistakes. But more importantly, we do not need to
handle situation when a patch in the middle of the function stack
(ops->func_stack) is being removed.

Add a few livepatch modules and simple target modules that the included
regression suite can run tests against:

  - basic livepatching (multiple patches, atomic replace)
  - pre/post (un)patch callbacks
  - shadow variable API

-Test cases
-==========
-
-What follows is not an exhaustive test suite of every possible livepatch
-pre/post-(un)patch combination, but a selection that demonstrates a few
-important concepts.  Each test case uses the kernel modules located in
-the samples/livepatch/ and assumes that no livepatches are loaded at the
-beginning of the test.
-
-
-Test 1
-------
-
-Test a combination of loading a kernel module and a livepatch that
-patches a function in the first module.  (Un)load the target module
-before the livepatch module:
-
-- load target module
-- load livepatch
-- disable livepatch
-- unload target module
-- unload livepatch
-
-First load a target module:
-
-  % insmod samples/livepatch/livepatch-callbacks-mod.ko
-  [   34.475708] livepatch_callbacks_mod: livepatch_callbacks_mod_init
-
-On livepatch enable, before the livepatch transition starts, pre-patch
-callbacks are executed for vmlinux and livepatch_callbacks_mod (those
-klp_objects currently loaded).  After klp_objects are patched according
-to the klp_patch, their post-patch callbacks run and the transition
-completes:
-
-  % insmod samples/livepatch/livepatch-callbacks-demo.ko
-  [   36.503719] livepatch: enabling patch 'livepatch_callbacks_demo'
-  [   36.504213] livepatch: 'livepatch_callbacks_demo': initializing patching transition
-  [   36.504238] livepatch_callbacks_demo: pre_patch_callback: vmlinux
-  [   36.504721] livepatch_callbacks_demo: pre_patch_callback: livepatch_callbacks_mod -> [MODULE_STATE_LIVE] Normal state
-  [   36.505849] livepatch: 'livepatch_callbacks_demo': starting patching transition
-  [   37.727133] livepatch: 'livepatch_callbacks_demo': completing patching transition
-  [   37.727232] livepatch_callbacks_demo: post_patch_callback: vmlinux
-  [   37.727860] livepatch_callbacks_demo: post_patch_callback: livepatch_callbacks_mod -> [MODULE_STATE_LIVE] Normal state
-  [   37.728792] livepatch: 'livepatch_callbacks_demo': patching complete
-
-Similarly, on livepatch disable, pre-patch callbacks run before the
-unpatching transition starts.  klp_objects are reverted, post-patch
-callbacks execute and the transition completes:
-
-  % echo 0 > /sys/kernel/livepatch/livepatch_callbacks_demo/enabled
-  [   38.510209] livepatch: 'livepatch_callbacks_demo': initializing unpatching transition
-  [   38.510234] livepatch_callbacks_demo: pre_unpatch_callback: vmlinux
-  [   38.510982] livepatch_callbacks_demo: pre_unpatch_callback: livepatch_callbacks_mod -> [MODULE_STATE_LIVE] Normal state

-  [   39.711132] livepatch: 'livepatch_callbacks_demo': completing unpatching transition
-  [   39.711210] livepatch_callbacks_demo: post_unpatch_callback: vmlinux
-  [   39.711779] livepatch_callbacks_demo: post_unpatch_callback: livepatch_callbacks_mod -> [MODULE_STATE_LIVE] Normal state
-  [   39.712735] livepatch: 'livepatch_callbacks_demo': unpatching complete
-
-  % rmmod samples/livepatch/livepatch-callbacks-demo.ko
-  % rmmod samples/livepatch/livepatch-callbacks-mod.ko
-  [   42.534183] livepatch_callbacks_mod: livepatch_callbacks_mod_exit
-
-
-Test 2
-------
-
-This test is similar to the previous test, but (un)load the livepatch
-module before the target kernel module.  This tests the livepatch core's
-module_coming handler:
-
-- load livepatch
-- load target module
-- disable livepatch
-- unload livepatch
-- unload target module
-
-
-On livepatch enable, only pre/post-patch callbacks are executed for
-currently loaded klp_objects, in this case, vmlinux:
-
-  % insmod samples/livepatch/livepatch-callbacks-demo.ko
-  [   44.553328] livepatch: enabling patch 'livepatch_callbacks_demo'
-  [   44.553997] livepatch: 'livepatch_callbacks_demo': initializing patching transition
-  [   44.554049] livepatch_callbacks_demo: pre_patch_callback: vmlinux
-  [   44.554845] livepatch: 'livepatch_callbacks_demo': starting patching transition
-  [   45.727128] livepatch: 'livepatch_callbacks_demo': completing patching transition
-  [   45.727212] livepatch_callbacks_demo: post_patch_callback: vmlinux
-  [   45.727961] livepatch: 'livepatch_callbacks_demo': patching complete
-
-When a targeted module is subsequently loaded, only its pre/post-patch
-callbacks are executed:
-
-  % insmod samples/livepatch/livepatch-callbacks-mod.ko
-  [   46.560845] livepatch: applying patch 'livepatch_callbacks_demo' to loading module 'livepatch_callbacks_mod'
-  [   46.561988] livepatch_callbacks_demo: pre_patch_callback: livepatch_callbacks_mod -> [MODULE_STATE_COMING] Full formed, running module_init

-  [   46.565495] livepatch_callbacks_mod: livepatch_callbacks_mod_init
-
-On livepatch disable, all currently loaded klp_objects' (vmlinux and
-livepatch_callbacks_mod) pre/post-unpatch callbacks are executed:
-
-  % echo 0 > /sys/kernel/livepatch/livepatch_callbacks_demo/enabled
-  [   48.568885] livepatch: 'livepatch_callbacks_demo': initializing unpatching transition

-  [   52.592283] livepatch_callbacks_mod: livepatch_callbacks_mod_exit
-
-
-Test 3
-------
-
-Test loading the livepatch after a targeted kernel module, then unload
-the kernel module before disabling the livepatch.  This tests the
-livepatch core's module_going handler:
-
-- load target module
-- load livepatch
-- unload target module
-- disable livepatch
-- unload livepatch
-
-First load a target module, then the livepatch:
-
-  % insmod samples/livepatch/livepatch-callbacks-mod.ko
-  [   54.607948] livepatch_callbacks_mod: livepatch_callbacks_mod_init
-
-  % insmod samples/livepatch/livepatch-callbacks-demo.ko
-  [   56.613919] livepatch: enabling patch 'livepatch_callbacks_demo'
-  [   56.614411] livepatch: 'livepatch_callbacks_demo': initializing patching transition
-  [   56.614436] livepatch_callbacks_demo: pre_patch_callback: vmlinux
-  [   56.614818] livepatch_callbacks_demo: pre_patch_callback: livepatch_callbacks_mod -> [MODULE_STATE_LIVE] Normal state
-  [   56.615656] livepatch: 'livepatch_callbacks_demo': starting patching transition

-  [   57.759621] livepatch_callbacks_demo: post_patch_callback: livepatch_callbacks_mod -> [MODULE_STATE_LIVE] Normal state
-  [   57.760307] livepatch: 'livepatch_callbacks_demo': patching complete
-
-When a target module is unloaded, the livepatch is only reverted from
-that klp_object (livepatch_callbacks_mod).  As such, only its pre and
-post-unpatch callbacks are executed when this occurs:
-
-  % rmmod samples/livepatch/livepatch-callbacks-mod.ko
-  [   58.623409] livepatch_callbacks_mod: livepatch_callbacks_mod_exit
-  [   58.623903] livepatch_callbacks_demo: pre_unpatch_callback: livepatch_callbacks_mod -> [MODULE_STATE_GOING] Going away
-  [   58.624658] livepatch: reverting patch 'livepatch_callbacks_demo' on unloading module 'livepatch_callbacks_mod'
-  [   58.625305] livepatch_callbacks_demo: post_unpatch_callback: livepatch_callbacks_mod -> [MODULE_STATE_GOING] Going away
-
-When the livepatch is disabled, pre and post-unpatch callbacks are run
-for the remaining klp_object, vmlinux:
-
-  % echo 0 > /sys/kernel/livepatch/livepatch_callbacks_demo/enabled
-  [   60.638420] livepatch: 'livepatch_callbacks_demo': initializing unpatching transition
-  [   60.638444] livepatch_callbacks_demo: pre_unpatch_callback: vmlinux

-  [   61.727088] livepatch: 'livepatch_callbacks_demo': completing unpatching transition
-  [   61.727165] livepatch_callbacks_demo: post_unpatch_callback: vmlinux
-  [   61.727985] livepatch: 'livepatch_callbacks_demo': unpatching complete
-
-  % rmmod samples/livepatch/livepatch-callbacks-demo.ko
-
-
-Test 4
-------
-
-This test is similar to the previous test, however the livepatch is
-loaded first.  This tests the livepatch core's module_coming and
-module_going handlers:
-
-- load livepatch
-- load target module
-- unload target module
-- disable livepatch
-- unload livepatch
-
-First load the livepatch:
-
-  % insmod samples/livepatch/livepatch-callbacks-demo.ko
-  [   64.661552] livepatch: enabling patch 'livepatch_callbacks_demo'
-  [   64.662147] livepatch: 'livepatch_callbacks_demo': initializing patching transition

-  [   65.695561] livepatch: 'livepatch_callbacks_demo': patching complete
-
-When a targeted kernel module is subsequently loaded, only its

-  [   66.672873] livepatch_callbacks_mod: livepatch_callbacks_mod_init
-
-When the target module is unloaded, the livepatch is only reverted from

-Test 5
-------
-
-A simple test of loading a livepatch without one of its patch target
-klp_objects ever loaded (livepatch_callbacks_mod):
-
-- load livepatch
-- disable livepatch
-- unload livepatch
-
-Load the livepatch:
-
-  % insmod samples/livepatch/livepatch-callbacks-demo.ko
-  [   74.711081] livepatch: enabling patch 'livepatch_callbacks_demo'
-  [   74.711595] livepatch: 'livepatch_callbacks_demo': initializing patching transition

-  [   75.743219] livepatch_callbacks_demo: post_patch_callback: vmlinux
-  [   75.743867] livepatch: 'livepatch_callbacks_demo': patching complete
-
-As expected, only pre/post-(un)patch handlers are executed for vmlinux:
-
-  % echo 0 > /sys/kernel/livepatch/livepatch_callbacks_demo/enabled
-  [   76.716254] livepatch: 'livepatch_callbacks_demo': initializing unpatching transition

-
-Test 6
-------
-
-Test a scenario where a vmlinux pre-patch callback returns a non-zero
-status (ie, failure):
-
-- load target module
-- load livepatch -ENODEV
-- unload target module
-
-First load a target module:
-
-  % insmod samples/livepatch/livepatch-callbacks-mod.ko
-  [   80.740520] livepatch_callbacks_mod: livepatch_callbacks_mod_init
-
-Load the livepatch module, setting its 'pre_patch_ret' value to -19
-(-ENODEV).  When its vmlinux pre-patch callback executed, this status
-code will propagate back to the module-loading subsystem.  The result is
-that the insmod command refuses to load the livepatch module:
-
-  % insmod samples/livepatch/livepatch-callbacks-demo.ko pre_patch_ret=-19

-  % rmmod samples/livepatch/livepatch-callbacks-mod.ko
-  [   84.774238] livepatch_callbacks_mod: livepatch_callbacks_mod_exit
-
-
-Test 7
-------
-
-Similar to the previous test, setup a livepatch such that its vmlinux
-pre-patch callback returns success.  However, when a targeted kernel
-module is later loaded, have the livepatch return a failing status code:
-
-- load livepatch
-- setup -ENODEV
-- load target module
-- disable livepatch
-- unload livepatch
-
-Load the livepatch, notice vmlinux pre-patch callback succeeds:
-
-  % insmod samples/livepatch/livepatch-callbacks-demo.ko
-  [   86.787845] livepatch: enabling patch 'livepatch_callbacks_demo'
-  [   86.788325] livepatch: 'livepatch_callbacks_demo': initializing patching transition
-  [   86.788427] livepatch_callbacks_demo: pre_patch_callback: vmlinux
-  [   86.788821] livepatch: 'livepatch_callbacks_demo': starting patching transition
-  [   87.711069] livepatch: 'livepatch_callbacks_demo': completing patching transition
-  [   87.711143] livepatch_callbacks_demo: post_patch_callback: vmlinux
-  [   87.711886] livepatch: 'livepatch_callbacks_demo': patching complete
-
-Set a trap so subsequent pre-patch callbacks to this livepatch will
-return -ENODEV:
-
-  % echo -19 > /sys/module/livepatch_callbacks_demo/parameters/pre_patch_ret
-
-The livepatch pre-patch callback for subsequently loaded target modules
-will return failure, so the module loader refuses to load the kernel
-module.  Notice that no post-patch or pre/post-unpatch callbacks are
-executed for this klp_object:
-
-  % insmod samples/livepatch/livepatch-callbacks-mod.ko
-  [   90.796976] livepatch: applying patch 'livepatch_callbacks_demo' to loading module 'livepatch_callbacks_mod'
-  [   90.797834] livepatch_callbacks_demo: pre_patch_callback: livepatch_callbacks_mod -> [MODULE_STATE_COMING] Full formed, running module_init
-  [   90.798900] livepatch: pre-patch callback failed for object 'livepatch_callbacks_mod'
-  [   90.799652] livepatch: patch 'livepatch_callbacks_demo' failed for module 'livepatch_callbacks_mod', refusing to load module 'livepatch_callbacks_mod'
-  [   90.819737] insmod: ERROR: could not insert module samples/livepatch/livepatch-callbacks-mod.ko: No such device
-
-However, pre/post-unpatch callbacks run for the vmlinux klp_object:
-
-  % echo 0 > /sys/kernel/livepatch/livepatch_callbacks_demo/enabled
-  [   92.823547] livepatch: 'livepatch_callbacks_demo': initializing unpatching transition
-  [   92.823573] livepatch_callbacks_demo: pre_unpatch_callback: vmlinux
-  [   92.824331] livepatch: 'livepatch_callbacks_demo': starting unpatching transition
-  [   93.727128] livepatch: 'livepatch_callbacks_demo': completing unpatching transition
-  [   93.727327] livepatch_callbacks_demo: post_unpatch_callback: vmlinux
-  [   93.727861] livepatch: 'livepatch_callbacks_demo': unpatching complete
-
-  % rmmod samples/livepatch/livepatch-callbacks-demo.ko
-
-
-Test 8
-------
-
-Test loading multiple targeted kernel modules.  This test-case is
-mainly for comparing with the next test-case.
-
-- load busy target module (0s sleep),
-- load livepatch
-- load target module
-- unload target module
-- disable livepatch
-- unload livepatch
-- unload busy target module
-
-
-Load a target "busy" kernel module which kicks off a worker function
-that immediately exits:
-
-  % insmod samples/livepatch/livepatch-callbacks-busymod.ko sleep_secs=0
-  [   96.910107] livepatch_callbacks_busymod: livepatch_callbacks_mod_init
-  [   96.910600] livepatch_callbacks_busymod: busymod_work_func, sleeping 0 seconds ...
-  [   96.913024] livepatch_callbacks_busymod: busymod_work_func exit
-
-Proceed with loading the livepatch and another ordinary target module,
-notice that the post-patch callbacks are executed and the transition

-Test 9
-------
-
-A similar test as the previous one, but force the "busy" kernel module
-to do longer work.
-
-The livepatching core will refuse to patch a task that is currently
-executing a to-be-patched function -- the consistency model stalls the
-current patch transition until this safety-check is met.  Test a
-scenario where one of a livepatch's target klp_objects sits on such a
-function for a long time.  Meanwhile, load and unload other target
-kernel modules while the livepatch transition is in progress.
-
-- load busy target module (30s sleep)
-- load livepatch
-- load target module
-- unload target module
-- disable livepatch
-- unload livepatch
-- unload busy target module
-
-
-Load the "busy" kernel module, this time make it do 30 seconds worth of
-work:
-
-  % insmod samples/livepatch/livepatch-callbacks-busymod.ko sleep_secs=30
-  [  110.993362] livepatch_callbacks_busymod: livepatch_callbacks_mod_init
-  [  110.994059] livepatch_callbacks_busymod: busymod_work_func, sleeping 30 seconds ...
-
-Meanwhile, the livepatch is loaded.  Notice that the patch transition
-does not complete as the targeted "busy" module is sitting on a
-to-be-patched function:
-
-  % insmod samples/livepatch/livepatch-callbacks-demo.ko
-  [  113.000309] livepatch: enabling patch 'livepatch_callbacks_demo'
-  [  113.000764] livepatch: 'livepatch_callbacks_demo': initializing patching transition
-  [  113.000791] livepatch_callbacks_demo: pre_patch_callback: vmlinux
-  [  113.001289] livepatch_callbacks_demo: pre_patch_callback: livepatch_callbacks_busymod -> [MODULE_STATE_LIVE] Normal state
-  [  113.005208] livepatch: 'livepatch_callbacks_demo': starting patching transition
-
-Load a second target module (this one is an ordinary idle kernel
-module).  Note that *no* post-patch callbacks will be executed while the
-livepatch is still in transition:
-
-  % insmod samples/livepatch/livepatch-callbacks-mod.ko
-  [  115.012740] livepatch: applying patch 'livepatch_callbacks_demo' to loading module 'livepatch_callbacks_mod'
-  [  115.013406] livepatch_callbacks_demo: pre_patch_callback: livepatch_callbacks_mod -> [MODULE_STATE_COMING] Full formed, running module_init
-  [  115.015315] livepatch_callbacks_mod: livepatch_callbacks_mod_init
-
-Request an unload of the simple kernel module.  The patch is still
-transitioning, so its pre-unpatch callbacks are skipped:
-
-  % rmmod samples/livepatch/livepatch-callbacks-mod.ko
-  [  117.022626] livepatch_callbacks_mod: livepatch_callbacks_mod_exit
-  [  117.023376] livepatch: reverting patch 'livepatch_callbacks_demo' on unloading module 'livepatch_callbacks_mod'
-  [  117.024533] livepatch_callbacks_demo: post_unpatch_callback: livepatch_callbacks_mod -> [MODULE_STATE_GOING] Going away
-
-Finally the livepatch is disabled.  Since none of the patch's
-klp_object's post-patch callbacks executed, the remaining klp_object's
-pre-unpatch callbacks are skipped:
-
-  % echo 0 > /sys/kernel/livepatch/livepatch_callbacks_demo/enabled
-  [  119.035408] livepatch: 'livepatch_callbacks_demo': reversing transition from patching to unpatching
-  [  119.035485] livepatch: 'livepatch_callbacks_demo': starting unpatching transition
-  [  119.711166] livepatch: 'livepatch_callbacks_demo': completing unpatching transition
-  [  119.714179] livepatch_callbacks_demo: post_unpatch_callback: vmlinux
-  [  119.714653] livepatch_callbacks_demo: post_unpatch_callback: livepatch_callbacks_busymod -> [MODULE_STATE_LIVE] Normal state
-  [  119.715437] livepatch: 'livepatch_callbacks_demo': unpatching complete
-
-  % rmmod samples/livepatch/livepatch-callbacks-demo.ko
-  % rmmod samples/livepatch/livepatch-callbacks-busymod.ko
-  [  141.279111] livepatch_callbacks_busymod: busymod_work_func exit
-  [  141.279760] livepatch_callbacks_busymod: livepatch_callbacks_mod_exit

+====================
+Livepatch Self Tests
+====================
+
+This is a small set of sanity tests for the kernel livepatching.
+
+The test suite loads and unloads several test kernel modules to verify
+livepatch behavior.  Debug information is logged to the kernel's message
+buffer and parsed for expected messages.  (Note: the tests will clear
+the message buffer between individual tests.)
+
+
+Config
+------
+
+Set these config options and their prerequisites:
+
+CONFIG_LIVEPATCH=y
+CONFIG_TEST_LIVEPATCH=m
+
+
+Running the tests
+-----------------
+
+Test kernel modules are built as part of lib/ (make modules) and need to
+be installed (make modules_install) as the test scripts will modprobe
+them.
+
+To run the livepatch selftests, from the top of the kernel source tree:
+
+  % make -C tools/testing/selftests TARGETS=livepatch run_tests
+
+
+Adding tests
+------------
+
+See the common functions.sh file for the existing collection of utility
+functions, most importantly set_dynamic_debug() and check_result().  The
+latter function greps the kernel's ring buffer for "livepatch:" and
+"test_klp" strings, so tests be sure to include one of those strings for
+result comparison.  Other utility functions include general module
+loading and livepatch loading helpers (waiting for patch transitions,
+sysfs entries, etc.)

small nit in case there is a v14:

Applying: selftests/livepatch: introduce tests
/root/linux/.git/rebase-apply/patch:1513: space before tab in indent.
        # Wait until the transition finishes and the livepatch gets

And FWIW v13's selftests ran just fine on ppc64le over here.

On one hand, these macros are kind of nice, because they do the function
pointer casting for the user.

On the other hand, they hide the field names, which hurts readability a
bit.  For example, it would be easy to accidentally assign the wrong
callback function.

Also, it's unfortunate that these macros are needed in the first place.

What if we just change new_addr (and old_addr) to be 'void *'?  Then the
macros wouldn't be as useful, and we could just get rid of them.

Is this a bug fix?  If so, it should go in a separate patch.  I'm

I'm having trouble parsing the subject.  How about:

  Allow unloading of patches added after using 'force'

?

Instead of making this non-static, can we just move
klp_force_transition() to core.c?  It's nice to have all the list
management code encapsulated in the same file.

To clarify that it's a work function, how about calling it

This comment isn't needed.  It describes what try_module_get() does,
which is common kernel knowledge.

> +	patch->module_put = true;

The naming and semantics of the 'module_put' field are a little
confusing.  It's false in two cases:

1) try_module_get() failure
2) forced patch

Maybe we can get rid of the need for the first case by moving the
try_module_get() call to klp_enable_patch(), before calling
klp_init_lists().  Then klp_free_patch_finish() will always be called
with a module reference, so it doesn't have to check the 'module_put'
field.

We'd still need it for the force case, but then it can just be called
'forced' again.

It may be ever-so-slightly better to use list_add_tail() instead of
list_add(), so the list order matches the array order.  I doubt the
ordering really matters, but you never know.  It could for example make
debugging a little easier in some scenarios.

I am not a big fan of the macros either.

Hmm, I wonder if any change make sense then. The above proposal might
just exchange one confusion with another one:

   + I would expect that a variable called addr is of the type
     unsigned long

   + we would need casting when calling ftrace API

   + .new_addr = function_xxx looks a bit weird and it will
     be used many times in all livepatch sources.


That said I could live with any solution. The livepatch code
is complicated from other reasons. This is only small detail
from my (today's ;-) point of view.

It is not a bug fix. It was not needed before because
klp_register_patch() did not checked this field when failed.

But this patch started to use the generic
klp_free_patch_start()/klp_free_patch_finish() in both
klp_unregister_patch() and in klp_init_patch() error patch.
Therefore we need to have a valid value from the beginning.

Come on! We need it just to iterate over a list of available
livepatches. The logic used to manage this list is trivial.
klp_force_transition() itself is more complicated and it
logically fits into transitions.c.

I do not want to fight over this. If you resist, I'll move it.
I just wanted to share my view.

Ah, the comment is just a left over from the previous version. It does

Yup. I'll remove it. Note that it was there even before. I have just
moved it with the code.

I have been there ;-) It is required. Otherewise the module
can't get removed. See the following code in kernel/module.c:

SYSCALL_DEFINE2(delete_module, const char __user *, name_user,
		unsigned int, flags)
{
[...]
	/* If it has an init func, it must have an exit func to unload */
	if (mod->init && !mod->exit) {
		forced = try_force_unload(flags);
		if (!forced) {
			/* This module can't be removed */
			ret = -EBUSY;
			goto out;
		}
	}

Petr

Anything looks confusing. I think that I'll just get rid of it

Fair points.  Instead of changing new_func to new_addr, how about we
leave it alone, and instead change 'unsigned long old_addr' to 'void
*old_func'?

That would give us consistent naming internally, while making the
external interface more sensible and cast-free.

We'd still have to cast when passing to the ftrace API, but IMO it would
be worth it.

I don't feel strongly about it.  It's just unfortunate that klp_patches

Other than the few comments I made, this is looking good to me.  I'm

I am fine with this. I will do this in v14 unless anyone complains ;-)

I agree. I don't like the change from 1/12 much as it exposes casting to 
user. Macros introduced here do not make any better and I go along with 
Josh.

I have not noticed till today, but state_initialized is probably not the 
best idea. kobject_init_and_add() sets it to 1 in kobject_init() part but 
then _add() is called which could result in error. So we would end up with 
state_initialized equal to 1 and kobject reference equal to 0. Later call 
to kobject_put() in klp_free_funcs() (or elsewhere) would not call 
->release method, because refcount would be 0 by then.

I think that all would end up well, but that does not mean we should not 
fix it.

We could use state_in_sysfs, but I do not think it guarantees anything. 
Both are internal states and maybe we should not rely on them.

So kref_read() and check the reference?

I have discussed it a bit more with Miroslav in person. It seems that
the best solution is to add our own .initialized flag into
the affected structures.

The thing is that kobject should be used for dynamically allocated
structures. We use them for static structures just to get the sysfs
interface. Let's still use the sysfs functionality but let's
handle the freeing on our own (reduce hijacking kobject
free machinery).

Best Regards,
Petr

Maybe you should consider list_add_tail() here too.

The initialization is unnecessary.
