This is v2 of the livepatch hybrid consistency model, based on
linux-next/master.
v1 of this patch set was posted over a year ago:
https://lkml.kernel.org/r/cover.1423499826.git.jpoimboe@redhat.com
The biggest complaint at that time was that stack traces are unreliable.
Since CONFIG_STACK_VALIDATION was merged, that issue has been addressed.
I've also tried to address all other outstanding complaints and issues.
Ingo and Peter, note that I'm using task_rq_lock() in patch 17/18 to
make sure a task stays asleep while its stack gets checked. I'm not
sure if there's a better way to achieve that goal -- any suggestions
there would be greatly appreciated.
Patches 1-7 create a mechanism for detecting whether a given stack trace
can be deemed reliable.
Patches 8-18 add the consistency model. See patch 17/18 for more
details about the consistency model itself.
Remaining TODOs:
- how to patch kthreads without RELIABLE_STACKTRACE?
- safe patch module removal
- fake signal facility
- allow user to force a task to the patched state
- enable the patching of kthreads which are sleeping on affected
functions, via the livepatch ftrace handler
- WARN on certain stack error conditions
v2:
- "universe" -> "patch state"
- rename klp_update_task_universe() -> klp_patch_task()
- add preempt IRQ tracking (TF_PREEMPT_IRQ)
- fix print_context_stack_reliable() bug
- improve print_context_stack_reliable() comments
- klp_ftrace_handler comment fixes
- add "patch_state" proc file to tid_base_stuff
- schedule work even for !RELIABLE_STACKTRACE
- forked child inherits patch state from parent
- add detailed comment to livepatch.h klp_func definition about the
klp_func patched/transition state transitions
- update exit_to_usermode_loop() comment
- clear all TIF_KLP_NEED_UPDATE flags in klp_complete_transition()
- remove unnecessary function externs
- add livepatch documentation, sysfs documentation, /proc documentation
- /proc/pid/patch_state: -1 means no patch is currently being applied/reverted
- "TIF_KLP_NEED_UPDATE" -> "TIF_PATCH_PENDING"
- support for s390 and powerpc-le
- don't assume stacks with dynamic ftrace trampolines are reliable
- add _TIF_ALLWORK_MASK info to commit log
v1.9:
- revive from the dead and rebased
- reliable stacks!
- add support for immediate consistency model
- add a ton of comments
- fix up memory barriers
- remove "allow patch modules to be removed" patch for now, it still
needs more discussion and thought - it can be done with something
- "proc/pid/universe" -> "proc/pid/patch_status"
- remove WARN_ON_ONCE from !func condition in ftrace handler -- can
happen because of RCU
- keep klp_mutex private by putting the work_fn in core.c
- convert states from int to boolean
- remove obsolete '@state' comments
- several header file and include improvements suggested by Jiri S
- change kallsyms_lookup_size_offset() errors from EINVAL -> ENOENT
- change proc file permissions S_IRUGO -> USR
- use klp_for_each_object/func helpers
