[PATCH v5 0/3] modversions: redefine kcrctab entries as 32-bit values

[PATCH v5 0/3] modversions: redefine kcrctab entries as 32-bit values

[Ard Biesheuvel]

This v4 is a followup to [0] 'modversions: redefine kcrctab entries as
relative CRC pointers', but since relative CRC pointers do not work in
modules, and are actually only needed by powerpc with CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y,
I have made it a Kconfig selectable feature instead.

Patch #1 introduces the MODULE_REL_CRCS Kconfig symbol, and adds the kbuild
handling of it, i.e., modpost, genksyms and kallsyms.

Patch #2 switches all architectures to 32-bit CRC entries in kcrctab, where
all architectures except powerpc with CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y use absolute ELF
symbol references as before.

v5: make MODULE_REL_CRCS apply to both vmlinux and modules when selected
    reinstate Rusty's ack on #2, given that it is now mostly identical again
    to the patch he acked 3 months ago

v4: make relative CRCs kconfig selectable
    use absolute CRC symbols in modules regardless of kconfig selection
    split into two patches

v3: emit CRCs into .rodata rather than .rodata.modver, given that the latter
    will be emitted with read-write permissions, making the CRCs end up in a
    writable module segment.

    fold the modpost fix to ensure that the section address is only substracted
    from the symbol address when the ELF object in question is fully linked
    (i.e., ET_DYN or ET_EXEC, and not ET_REL)

v2: update modpost as well, so that genksyms no longer has to emit symbols
    for both the actual CRC value and the reference to where it is stored
    in the image

[PATCH v5 1/3] kbuild: modversions: add infrastructure for emitting relative CRCs

[Ard Biesheuvel]

This add the kbuild infrastructure that will allow architectures to emit
vmlinux symbol CRCs as 32-bit offsets to another location in the kernel
where the actual value is stored. This works around problems with CRCs
being mistaken for relocatable symbols on kernels that self relocate at
runtime (i.e., powerpc with CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y)

For the kbuild side of things, this comes down to the following:
- introducing a Kconfig symbol MODULE_REL_CRCS
- adding a -R switch to genksyms to instruct it to emit the CRC symbols
  as references into the .rodata section
- making modpost distinguish such references from absolute CRC symbols by
  the section index (SHN_ABS)
- making kallsyms disregard non-absolute symbols with a __crc_ prefix

[PATCH v5 2/3] modversions: treat symbol CRCs as 32 bit quantities

[Ard Biesheuvel]

The modversion symbol CRCs are emitted as ELF symbols, which allows us to
easily populate the kcrctab sections by relying on the linker to associate
each kcrctab slot with the correct value.

This has a couple of downsides:
- Given that the CRCs are treated as memory addresses, we waste 4 bytes
  for each CRC on 64 bit architectures,
- On architectures that support runtime relocation, a R_<arch>_RELATIVE
  relocation entry is emitted for each CRC value, which identifies it as
  a quantity that requires fixing up based on the actual runtime load
  offset of the kernel. This results in corrupted CRCs unless we
  explicitly undo the fixup (and this is currently being handled in the
  core module code)
- Such runtime relocation entries take up 24 bytes of __init space each,
  resulting in a x8 overhead in [uncompressed] kernel size for CRCs.

Switching to explicit 32 bit values on 64 bit architectures fixes most
of these issues, given that 32 bit values are not treated as quantities
that require fixing up based on the actual runtime load offset. Note that
on some ELF64 architectures [such as PPC64], these 32-bit values are still
emitted as [absolute] runtime relocatable quantities, even if the value
resolves to a build time constant. Since relative relocations are always
resolved at build time, this patch enables MODULE_REL_CRCS on powerpc when
CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y, which turns the absolute CRC references into relative
references into .rodata where the actual CRC value is stored.

So redefine all CRC fields and variables as u32, and redefine the
__CRC_SYMBOL() macro for 64 bit builds to emit the CRC reference using
inline assembler (which is necessary since 64-bit C code cannot use
32-bit types to hold memory addresses, even if they are ultimately
resolved using values that do not exceed 0xffffffff). To avoid potential
problems with legacy 32-bit architectures using legacy toolchains, the
equivalent C definition of the kcrctab entry is retained for 32-bit
architectures.

Note that this mostly reverts commit d4703aefdbc8 ("module: handle ppc64
relocating kcrctabs when CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y")

[PATCH v5 3/3] module: unify absolute krctab definitions for 32-bit and 64-bit

[Ard Biesheuvel]

The previous patch introduced a separate inline asm version of the
krcrctab declaration template for use with 64-bit architectures, which
cannot refer to ELF symbols using 32-bit quantities. This declaration
should be equivalent to the C one for 32-bit architectures, but this
needs to be checked first, so unify them in a separate patch.

ok, I have this in a local branch now, assuming it passes my
(admittedly fairly superficial) testing I'll merge it so that we can
put this whole sorry saga behind us.

Thanks,
