ARM: 9204/2: module: Add all unwind tables when load module

2022-05-20T11:34:55+00:00

For EABI stack unwinding, when loading .ko module
the EXIDX sections will be added to a unwind_table list.

However not all EXIDX sections are added because EXIDX
sections are searched by hardcoded section names.

For functions in other sections such as .ref.text
or .kprobes.text, gcc generates seprated EXIDX sections
(such as .ARM.exidx.ref.text or .ARM.exidx.kprobes.text).

These extra EXIDX sections are not loaded, so when unwinding
functions in these sections, we will failed with:

	unwind: Index not found xxx

To fix that, I refactor the code for searching and adding
EXIDX sections:

- Check section type to search EXIDX tables (0x70000001)
instead of strcmp() the hardcoded names. Then find the
corresponding text sections by their section names.

- Add a unwind_table list in module->arch to save their own
unwind_table instead of the fixed-lenth array.

- Save .ARM.exidx.init.text section ptr, because it should
be cleaned after module init.

Now all EXIDX sections of .ko can be added correctly.

ARM: assembler: define a Kconfig symbol for group relocation support

2022-01-24T20:02:34+00:00

Nathan reports the group relocations go out of range in pathological
cases such as allyesconfig kernels, which have little chance of actually
booting but are still used in validation.

So add a Kconfig symbol for this feature, and make it depend on
!COMPILE_TEST.

ARM: module: implement support for PC-relative group relocations

2021-12-06T11:49:16+00:00

Add support for the R_ARM_ALU_PC_Gn_NC and R_ARM_LDR_PC_G2 group
relocations [0] so we can use them in modules. These will be used to
load the current task pointer from a global variable without having to
rely on a literal pool entry to carry the address of this variable,
which may have a significant negative impact on cache utilization for
variables that are used often and in many different places, as each
occurrence will result in a literal pool entry and therefore a line in
the D-cache.

ARM: module: add support for place relative relocations

2020-10-28T15:59:43+00:00

When using the new adr_l/ldr_l/str_l macros to refer to external symbols
from modules, the linker may emit place relative ELF relocations that
need to be fixed up by the module loader. So add support for these.

mm: don't include asm/pgtable.h if linux/mm.h is already included

2020-06-09T16:39:13+00:00

Patch series "mm: consolidate definitions of page table accessors", v2.

The low level page table accessors (pXY_index(), pXY_offset()) are
duplicated across all architectures and sometimes more than once.  For
instance, we have 31 definition of pgd_offset() for 25 supported
architectures.

Most of these definitions are actually identical and typically it boils
down to, e.g.

static inline unsigned long pmd_index(unsigned long address)
{
        return (address >> PMD_SHIFT) & (PTRS_PER_PMD - 1);
}

static inline pmd_t *pmd_offset(pud_t *pud, unsigned long address)
{
        return (pmd_t *)pud_page_vaddr(*pud) + pmd_index(address);
}

These definitions can be shared among 90% of the arches provided
XYZ_SHIFT, PTRS_PER_XYZ and xyz_page_vaddr() are defined.

For architectures that really need a custom version there is always
possibility to override the generic version with the usual ifdefs magic.

These patches introduce include/linux/pgtable.h that replaces
include/asm-generic/pgtable.h and add the definitions of the page table
accessors to the new header.

This patch (of 12):

The linux/mm.h header includes  to allow inlining of the
functions involving page table manipulations, e.g.  pte_alloc() and
pmd_alloc().  So, there is no point to explicitly include 
in the files that include .

The include statements in such cases are remove with a simple loop:

	for f in $(git grep -l "include ") ; do
		sed -i -e '/include / d' $f
	done

ARM: 8975/1: module: fix handling of unwind init sections

2020-05-19T10:42:15+00:00

Unwind information for init sections is placed in .ARM.exidx.init.text
and .ARM.extab.init.text.  The module core doesn't know that these are
init sections so they are allocated along with the core sections, and if
the core and init sections get allocated in different memory regions
(which is possible with CONFIG_ARM_MODULE_PLTS=y) and they can't reach
each other, relocation fails:

  final section addresses:
  	...
  	0x7f800000 .init.text
	..
  	0xcbb54078 .ARM.exidx.init.text
	..

 section 16 reloc 0 sym '': relocation 42 out of range (0xcbb54078 ->
 0x7f800000)

Fix this by informing the module core that these sections are init
sections, and by removing the init unwind tables before the module core
frees the init sections.

ARM: module: recognize unwind exit sections

2019-06-24T12:05:10+00:00

In addition to the prefix ".exit", ".ARM.extab.exit" and ".ARM.exidx.exit"
must be recognized as exit sections as well. Otherwise, loading modules can
fail without CONFIG_MODULE_UNLOAD depending on the memory layout, when
relocations for the unwind sections refer to the .exit.text section:

  imx_sdma: section 16 reloc 0 sym '': relocation 42 out of range
  (0x7f015260 -> 0xc0f5a5e8)

where 0x7F000000 is the module load area and 0xC0000000 is the vmalloc
area. Relocation 42 refers to R_ARM_PREL31, which is limited to signed
31bit offsets.
