Right, sorry, if ld.bfd didn't have this issue, we could use section merging in the module.lds.S file the way we do in vmlinux.lds: #ifndef RO_AFTER_INIT_DATA #define RO_AFTER_INIT_DATA \ . = ALIGN(8); \ __start_ro_after_init = .; \ *(.data..ro_after_init) \ JUMP_TABLE_DATA \ STATIC_CALL_DATA \ __end_ro_after_init = .; #endif ... . = ALIGN((align)); \ .rodata : AT(ADDR(.rodata) - LOAD_OFFSET) { \ __start_rodata = .; \ *(.rodata) *(.rodata.*) \ SCHED_DATA \ RO_AFTER_INIT_DATA /* Read only after init */ \ . = ALIGN(8); \ __start___tracepoints_ptrs = .; \ KEEP(*(__tracepoints_ptrs)) /* Tracepoints: pointer array */ \ __stop___tracepoints_ptrs = .; \ *(__tracepoints_strings)/* Tracepoints: strings */ \ } \ Then jump_table and static_call sections could be collected into a new section, as the module loader would only need to look for that single name. > Instead of hard-coding section names in module.c, I'm wondering if we > can do something like the following to set SHF_RO_AFTER_INIT when first > creating the sections.

I got the impression from the module code that this wasn't possible since it'd be exposing an internal set of flags to the external linker, and would break the vmlinux section merging (since it _is_ supposed to live in the .rodata section ultimately). The modules handle permissions slightly differently (i.e. more exact temporal), than the kernel though. (Most of the architecture's vmlinux logic starts with everything writable, and only does the read-only-ness after __init, though I think s390 does it "correctly" and as such has a separate area for the ro-after-init section.) -- Kees Cook
