71a7507afb Driver Core changes for 6.2-rc1
Here is the set of driver core and kernfs changes for 6.2-rc1.
 
 The "big" change in here is the addition of a new macro,
 container_of_const() that will preserve the "const-ness" of a pointer
 passed into it.
 
 The "problem" of the current container_of() macro is that if you pass in
 a "const *", out of it can comes a non-const pointer unless you
 specifically ask for it.  For many usages, we want to preserve the
 "const" attribute by using the same call.  For a specific example, this
 series changes the kobj_to_dev() macro to use it, allowing it to be used
 no matter what the const value is.  This prevents every subsystem from
 having to declare 2 different individual macros (i.e.
 kobj_const_to_dev() and kobj_to_dev()) and having the compiler enforce
 the const value at build time, which having 2 macros would not do
 either.
 
 The driver for all of this have been discussions with the Rust kernel
 developers as to how to properly mark driver core, and kobject, objects
 as being "non-mutable".  The changes to the kobject and driver core in
 this pull request are the result of that, as there are lots of paths
 where kobjects and device pointers are not modified at all, so marking
 them as "const" allows the compiler to enforce this.
 
 So, a nice side affect of the Rust development effort has been already
 to clean up the driver core code to be more obvious about object rules.
 
 All of this has been bike-shedded in quite a lot of detail on lkml with
 different names and implementations resulting in the tiny version we
 have in here, much better than my original proposal.  Lots of subsystem
 maintainers have acked the changes as well.
 
 Other than this change, included in here are smaller stuff like:
   - kernfs fixes and updates to handle lock contention better
   - vmlinux.lds.h fixes and updates
   - sysfs and debugfs documentation updates
   - device property updates
 
 All of these have been in the linux-next tree for quite a while with no
 problems, OTHER than some merge issues with other trees that should be
 obvious when you hit them (block tree deletes a driver that this tree
 modifies, iommufd tree modifies code that this tree also touches).  If
 there are merge problems with these trees, please let me know.

96a1a2412a kernel/params.c: defer most of param_sysfs_init() to late_initcall time
param_sysfs_init(), and in particular param_sysfs_builtin() is rather
time-consuming; for my board, it currently takes about 30ms.

That amounts to about 3% of the time budget I have from U-Boot hands
over control to linux and linux must assume responsibility for keeping
the external watchdog happy.

We must still continue to initialize module_kset at subsys_initcall
time, since otherwise any request_module() would fail in
mod_sysfs_init(). However, the bulk of the work in
param_sysfs_builtin(), namely populating /sys/module/*/version and/or
/sys/module/*/parameters/ for builtin modules, can be deferred to
late_initcall time - there's no userspace yet anyway to observe
contents of /sys or the lack thereof.

3cd60866d4 module: remove redundant module_sysfs_initialized variable
The variable module_sysfs_initialized is used for checking whether
module_kset has been initialized. Checking module_kset itself works
just fine for that.

This is a leftover from commit 7405c1e15e ("kset: convert /sys/module
to use kset_create").

312dcaf967 Modules updates for v5.11
Summary of modules changes for the 5.11 merge window:
 
 - Fix a race condition between systemd/udev and the module loader.
   The module loader was sending a uevent before the module was fully
   initialized (i.e., before its init function has been called). This means
   udev can start processing the module uevent before the module has
   finished initializing, and some udev rules expect that the module has
   initialized already upon receiving the uevent. This resulted in some
   systemd mount units failing if udev processes the event faster than the
   module can finish init. This is fixed by delaying the uevent until after
   the module has called its init routine.
 
 - Make the linker array sections for kernel params and module version
   attributes more robust by switching to use the alignment of the type in
   question. Namely, linker section arrays will be constructed using the
   alignment required by the struct (using __alignof__()) as opposed to a
   specific value such as sizeof(void *) or sizeof(long). This is less
   likely to cause breakages should the size of the type ever change (from
   Johan Hovold)
 
 - Fix module state inconsistency by setting it back to GOING when a module
   fails to load and is on its way out (from Miroslav Benes)
 
 - Some comment and code cleanups (from Sergey Shtylyov)

b112082c89 module: simplify version-attribute handling
Instead of using the array-of-pointers trick to avoid having gcc mess up
the built-in module-version array stride, specify type alignment when
declaring entries to prevent gcc from increasing alignment.

This is essentially an alternative (one-line) fix to the problem
addressed by commit b4bc842802 ("module: deal with alignment issues in
built-in module versions").

gcc can increase the alignment of larger objects with static extent as
an optimisation, but this can be suppressed by using the aligned
attribute when declaring variables.

Note that we have been relying on this behaviour for kernel parameters
for 16 years and it indeed hasn't changed since the introduction of the
aligned attribute in gcc-3.1.

always use “flexible array members”[1] for these cases. The older style of
one-element or zero-length arrays should no longer be used[2].

edc41b3c54 kernel/params.c: downgrade warning for unsafe parameters
As using an unsafe module parameter is, by its very definition, an
expected user action, emitting a warning is overkill.  Nothing has yet
gone wrong, and we add a taint flag for any future oops should something
actually go wrong.  So instead of having a user controllable pr_warn,
downgrade it to a pr_notice for "a normal, but significant condition".

We make use of unsafe kernel parameters in igt
(https://cgit.freedesktop.org/drm/igt-gpu-tools/) (we have not yet
succeeded in removing all such debugging options), which generates a
warning and taints the kernel.  The warning is unhelpful as we then need
to filter it out again as we check that every test themselves do not
provoke any kernel warnings.

96802e6b1d kernel/params.c: fix an overflow in param_attr_show
Function param_attr_show could overflow the buffer it is operating on.

The buffer size is PAGE_SIZE, and the string returned by
attribute->param->ops->get is generated by scnprintf(buffer, PAGE_SIZE,
...) so it could be PAGE_SIZE - 1 long, with the terminating '\0' at the
very end of the buffer.  Calling strcat(..., "\n") on this isn't safe, as
the '\0' will be replaced by '\n' (OK) and then another '\0' will be added
past the end of the buffer (not OK.)

Simply add the trailing '\n' when writing the attribute contents to the
buffer originally.  This is safe, and also faster.

Credits to Teradata for discovering this issue.

f51b17c8d9 boot/param: Move next_arg() function to lib/cmdline.c for later reuse
next_arg() will be used to parse boot parameters in the x86/boot/compressed code,
so move it to lib/cmdline.c for better code reuse.

No change in functionality.

parse_args() just aborts after it hits an error, so other args
at the same initcall level are simply ignored. This can lead to
other hard-to-understand problems, for example my testing machine

Main excitement here is Peter Zijlstra's lockless rbtree optimization to

 doing that too.
 
 A little bit of parameter work here too; including Dan Streetman's breaking
 up the big param mutex so writing a parameter can load another module (yeah,
 really).  Unfortunately that broke the usual suspects, !CONFIG_MODULES and
 !CONFIG_SYSFS, so those fixes were appended too.

b51d23e4e9 module: add per-module param_lock
Add a "param_lock" mutex to each module, and update params.c to use
the correct built-in or module mutex while locking kernel params.
Remove the kparam_block_sysfs_r/w() macros, replace them with direct
calls to kernel_param_[un]lock(module).

The kernel param code currently uses a single mutex to protect
modification of any and all kernel params.  While this generally works,
there is one specific problem with it; a module callback function
cannot safely load another module, i.e. with request_module() or even
with indirect calls such as crypto_has_alg().  If the module to be
loaded has any of its params configured (e.g. with a /etc/modprobe.d/*
config file), then the attempt will result in a deadlock between the
first module param callback waiting for modprobe, and modprobe trying to
lock the single kernel param mutex to set the new module's param.

This fixes that by using per-module mutexes, so that each individual module
is protected against concurrent changes in its own kernel params, but is
not blocked by changes to other module params.  All built-in modules
continue to use the built-in mutex, since they will always be loaded at
runtime and references (e.g. request_module(), crypto_has_alg()) to them
will never cause load-time param changing.

This also simplifies the interface used by modules to block sysfs access
to their params; while there are currently functions to block and unblock
sysfs param access which are split up by read and write and expect a single
kernel param to be passed, their actual operation is identical and applies
to all params, not just the one passed to them; they simply lock and unlock
the global param mutex.  They are replaced with direct calls to
kernel_param_[un]lock(THIS_MODULE), which locks THIS_MODULE's param_lock, or
if the module is built-in, it locks the built-in mutex.

sweep the kernel for the last offending stragglers. Other than
include/linux/moduleparam.h and kernel/params.c all other changes
were generated with the following Coccinelle SmPL patch. Merge
conflicts between trees can be handled with Coccinelle.

In the future git could get Coccinelle merge support to deal with
patch --> fail --> grammar --> Coccinelle --> new patch conflicts
automatically for us on patches where the grammar is available and
the patch is of high confidence. Consider this a feature request.

This adds an extra argument onto parse_params() to be used

next.

b0a65b0ccc param: do not set store func without write perm
When a module_param is defined without DAC write permissions, it can
still be changed at runtime and updated. Drivers using a 0444 permission
may be surprised that these values can still be changed.

For drivers that want to allow updates, any S_IW* flag will set the
"store" function as before. Drivers without S_IW* flags will have the
"store" function unset, unforcing a read-only value. Drivers that wish
neither "store" nor "get" can continue to use "0" for perms to stay out
of sysfs entirely.

Old behavior:
  # cd /sys/module/snd/parameters
  # ls -l
  total 0
  -r--r--r-- 1 root root 4096 Dec 11 13:55 cards_limit
  -r--r--r-- 1 root root 4096 Dec 11 13:55 major
  -r--r--r-- 1 root root 4096 Dec 11 13:55 slots
  # cat major
  116
  # echo -1 > major
  -bash: major: Permission denied
  # chmod u+w major
  # echo -1 > major
  # cat major
  -1

New behavior:
  ...
  # chmod u+w major

18eb74fa94 params: cleanup sysfs allocation
commit 63662139e5 attempted to patch a
leak (which would only happen on OOM, ie. never), but it didn't quite
work.

This rewrites the code to be as simple as possible.  add_sysfs_param()
adds a parameter.  If it fails, it's the caller's responsibility to
clean up the parameters which already exist.

The kzalloc-then-always-krealloc pattern is perhaps overly simplistic,
but this code has clearly confused people.  It worked on me...

51e158c12a param: hand arguments after -- straight to init
The kernel passes any args it doesn't need through to init, except it
assumes anything containing '.' belongs to the kernel (for a module).
This change means all users can clearly distinguish which arguments
are for init.

For example, the kernel uses debug ("dee-bug") to mean log everything to
the console, where systemd uses the debug from the Scandinavian "day-boog"
meaning "fail to boot".  If a future versions uses argv[] instead of
reading /proc/cmdline, this confusion will be avoided.

eg: test 'FOO="this is --foo"' -- 'systemd.debug="true true true"'

Gives:
argv[0] = '/debug-init'
argv[1] = 'test'
argv[2] = 'systemd.debug=true true true'
envp[0] = 'HOME=/'
envp[1] = 'TERM=linux'
envp[2] = 'FOO=this is --foo'

942e443127 module: Fix mod->mkobj.kobj potentially freed too early
DEBUG_KOBJECT_RELEASE helps to find the issue attached below.

After some investigation, it seems the reason is:
The mod->mkobj.kobj(ffffffffa01600d0 below) is freed together with mod
itself in free_module(). However, its children still hold references to
it, as the delay caused by DEBUG_KOBJECT_RELEASE. So when the
child(holders below) tries to decrease the reference count to its parent
in kobject_del(), BUG happens as it tries to access already freed memory.

This patch tries to fix it by waiting for the mod->mkobj.kobj to be
really released in the module removing process (and some error code
paths).

f4940ab7c5 kernel/params.c: use scnprintf() instead of sprintf()

than PAGE_SIZE (although meaningless), so recommend to use scnprintf()
instead of sprintf().

ab013c5f60 module: Add flag to allow mod params to have no arguments
Currently the params.c code allows only two "set" functions to have
no arguments. If a parameter does not have an argument, then it
looks at the set function and tests if it is either param_set_bool()
or param_set_bint(). If it is not one of these functions, then it
fails the loading of the module.

But there may be module parameters that have different set functions
and still allow no arguments. But unless each of these cases adds
their function to the if statement, it wont be allowed to have no
arguments. This method gets rather messing and does not scale.

Instead, introduce a flags field to the kernel_param_ops, where if
the flag KERNEL_PARAM_FL_NOARG is set, the parameter will not fail
if it does not contain an argument. It will be expected that the
corresponding set function can handle a NULL pointer as "val".
