Starting with binutils 2.31, the Linux kernel may have R_X86_64_PLT32
relocations. Make sure we support them. This should be as simple as
treating R_X86_64_PLT32 exactly like R_X86_64_PC32 everywhere. For more
details see upstream commit torvalds/linux@b21ebf2.
This also fixes the following issue seen on Fedora 29:

kpatch_verify_activeness_safety() calls kpatch_backtrace_address_verify()
for each address in the call traces of the processes.
Among other things, kpatch_backtrace_address_verify() searches the whole
set of functions for the ones being replaced (func->op == KPATCH_OP_UNPATCH).
This is a waste of time when the patch is loaded or unloaded rather than
replaced. Let us do the searching only if patch replacement is in
progress.

If atomic replacement is used for the old-style patches (the patches
that depend on kpatch.ko), the kernel might crash if the new patch
changes a smaller set of functions than the patch being replaced.
kpatch_apply_patch() does check if the functions from the patch to be
replaced are currently running. However, the functions are removed from
'kpatch_func_hash' in kpatch_register() only after stop_machine() and
kpatch_apply_patch() have finished:
ret = stop_machine(kpatch_apply_patch, kpmod, NULL);
/*
* For the replace case, remove any obsolete funcs from the hash and
* the ftrace filter, and disable the owning patch module so that it
* can be removed.
*/
if (!ret && replace) {
struct kpatch_module *kpmod2, *safe;
hash_for_each_rcu(kpatch_func_hash, i, func, node) {
if (func->op != KPATCH_OP_UNPATCH)
continue;
if (func->force)
force = 1;
hash_del_rcu(&func->node);
WARN_ON(kpatch_ftrace_remove_func(func->old_addr));
}
<...>
As a result, the kernel may end up with an inconsistent set of patched
functions. Some of the functions from the replaced patch could
still be running, while some would be already reverted to the original
ones.
I observed kernel crashes in such situations when I was trying to
replace a patch with a new one without a faulty fix.
Let us remove the replaced patched functions from 'kpatch_func_hash'
in kpatch_apply_patch() to avoid such issues.

While adding proper linker script option my previous patch left the
linker script in the list of source files (on pre-4.20 kernels) for
ld somehow breaking kpatch callback sections. For this to work
properly kpatch.lds needs to be added to 'extra-y' instead of objs. And
for kbuild to process this option properly we need to call make without
the .ko target, i.e. let kbuild decide what to build.

4.20 includes commit 69ea912fda74 "kbuild: remove unneeded link_multi_deps"
which changes kbuild so that only '.o' files are given to ld as targets
for linking, leaving out our linker script. Even before this commit we
were still doing this wrong and were succeeding just because ld is smart
enough to detect the script, it even throws a warning:
ld: warning: kpatch.lds contains output sections; did you forget -T?
The right thing to do is to add the script to ldflags either through
kbuilds 'ldflags-y' or by adding it to LDFLAGS/KPATCH_LDFLAGS directly.

The module notifier currently only handles newly loaded modules in the
MODULE_STATE_COMING state. If target modules need to be unloaded, the
any kpatch module that patches it must first be disabled, releasing
module references held against the target module. When the kpatch
modules are disabled, the target module is unpatched and the kpatch
core's data structures updated accordingly.
If a loading module happens to fail its init routine (missing hardware
for example), that module will not complete loading. The kpatch core
doesn't properly account for this "phantom" target module, so when the
kpatch patch module is removed, it spews out an ugly warning when
attempting to remove a non-existing ftrace filter on the target module.
Register an additional module notifier (first in the list) to handle the
MODULE_STATE_GOING case. This handler needs to do the inverse of the
MODULE_STATE_COMING handler.

Starting with kernel 4.11, CONFIG_DEBUG_SET_MODULE_RONX has been
replaced with CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_SET_MEMORY. This fixes the following
error:
kpatch: write to 0xffffffffc0d7650e failed for symbol copy_mnt_ns
Fixes#721.
When the core module loops through an object's list of dynrelas, it
determines whether or not the target location of the dynrela is in a
read-only region of the patch module. If it is, the readonly flag is set to
1 and it calls set_memory_{rw,ro} before and after the probe_kernel_write()
operation. This flag gets set once, and never gets reset for subsequent
iterations. Therefore, if a target happens to be in a RW section of the
patch module, and readonly = 1 had been set before, we may unintentionally
set a normally RW page to RO. Fix this by setting the readonly flag with
each iteration of the loop.
Fixes#681.
Restructure kpatch's sysfs interface and mirror the sysfs tree after
livepatch's sysfs layout. With the current sysfs layout, we cannot
distinguish which object a function belongs to, and we cannot tell which
modules/objects are patched. Therefore, restructure the kpatch sysfs tree
such that module/object information is available. With the new layout, each
patched object has its own directory, with each function being a
subdirectory of its object.
Implement this by embedding a kobject struct within the kpatch_module,
kpatch_func, and kpatch_object structs and supplying their ktypes and
kobject release methods.

Upstream 2992ef29ae01 "livepatch/module: make TAINT_LIVEPATCH module-specific"
added a TAINT_LIVEPATCH flag to the module-specific taint flags. This
commit is v4.9+ and the modules taint field is an unsigned int.
Upstream 7fd8329ba502 "taint/module: Clean up global and module taint
flags handling" modified the modules taint field to be an unsigned long.
This commit is v4.10+.
Adjust the module tainting code in kpatch_register() to consider v4.9
kernels as well as v4.10 (and any distro-specific behavior).
Fixes: #666.
The dump_trace interface was deprecated in v4.9: instead of adding yet
another kernel-specific code block to kpatch's stack safety checks, use
save_stack_trace_tsk. It's relatively simple (no callbacks like
dump_trace), arch-independent, and its interface is stable across kernel
releases.
Fixes: #623.
Previous commit "kmod: let kernel apply TAINT_LIVEPATCH" modified the
kpatch patch module to set the "livepatch" module info. This breaks
module loading for kernel config CONFIG_LIVEPATCH=n
kpatch_kmalloc: module is marked as livepatch module, but livepatch support is disabled
kpatch modules can still use TAINT_LIVEPATCH as a per-module taint flag,
but only if it is set after the module loads.
Fixes: 660.
Introduce a second phase in the kpatch-build process that creates kpatch
modules or livepatch modules that use the new klp rela sections depending on
the kernel version being worked on. This change uses the two new programs to
either create a patch module that uses dynrelas (create-kpatch-module) or a
patch module that uses klp rela and arch sections + klp symbols marked with the
correct Elf flags (create-klp-module).
For klp patch modules, the --unique flag for ld is needed to prevent
.parainstructions and .altinstructions sections from different objects
from being merged, as arch_klp_init_object_loaded() applies these sections
per-object.
Upstream commit 2992ef29ae01 ("livepatch/module: make TAINT_LIVEPATCH
module-specific") v4.9+ modified the kernel to add the TAINT_LIVEPATCH
flag on module load. To support this feature, add the "livepatch"
module info in the {k,live}patch modules and drop the add_taint() in the
core module.

Some features were backported into the 4.4 kernel which change the fields
of the livepatch structures. Ensure we can work with either v4.5 or greater,
or Ubuntu 4.4.0-7 or greater.
If an activeness safety check fails for kernels newer than 4.6, the
error is silently ignored because the newer version of
kpatch_backtrace_address_verify() doesn't set args.ret on error.
It would be an easy fix to just set args->ret on error, but I think a
better approach is just to combine the two versions of the function into
a single function with the use of a little macro trickery.
Backport the symbol lookup and checking code from upstream livepatch
code that relies on a symbol position enumeration rather than a fixed
memory address.
Fixes#617.
ftrace only allows a single user of this flag to register for a given
function. This prevents kpatch conflicts with kprobes handlers which
also might want to change regs->ip for a function.
We should have done this a few years ago. Better late than never...
