Linus Torvalds b6a7828502 modules-6.4-rc1
The summary of the changes for this pull requests is:
 
  * Song Liu's new struct module_memory replacement
  * Nick Alcock's MODULE_LICENSE() removal for non-modules
  * My cleanups and enhancements to reduce the areas where we vmalloc
    module memory for duplicates, and the respective debug code which
    proves the remaining vmalloc pressure comes from userspace.
 
 Most of the changes have been in linux-next for quite some time except
 the minor fixes I made to check if a module was already loaded
 prior to allocating the final module memory with vmalloc and the
 respective debug code it introduces to help clarify the issue. Although
 the functional change is small it is rather safe as it can only *help*
 reduce vmalloc space for duplicates and is confirmed to fix a bootup
 issue with over 400 CPUs with KASAN enabled. I don't expect stable
 kernels to pick up that fix as the cleanups would have also had to have
 been picked up. Folks on larger CPU systems with modules will want to
 just upgrade if vmalloc space has been an issue on bootup.
 
 Given the size of this request, here's some more elaborate details
 on this pull request.
 
 The functional change change in this pull request is the very first
 patch from Song Liu which replaces the struct module_layout with a new
 struct module memory. The old data structure tried to put together all
 types of supported module memory types in one data structure, the new
 one abstracts the differences in memory types in a module to allow each
 one to provide their own set of details. This paves the way in the
 future so we can deal with them in a cleaner way. If you look at changes
 they also provide a nice cleanup of how we handle these different memory
 areas in a module. This change has been in linux-next since before the
 merge window opened for v6.3 so to provide more than a full kernel cycle
 of testing. It's a good thing as quite a bit of fixes have been found
 for it.
 
 Jason Baron then made dynamic debug a first class citizen module user by
 using module notifier callbacks to allocate / remove module specific
 dynamic debug information.
 
 Nick Alcock has done quite a bit of work cross-tree to remove module
 license tags from things which cannot possibly be module at my request
 so to:
 
   a) help him with his longer term tooling goals which require a
      deterministic evaluation if a piece a symbol code could ever be
      part of a module or not. But quite recently it is has been made
      clear that tooling is not the only one that would benefit.
      Disambiguating symbols also helps efforts such as live patching,
      kprobes and BPF, but for other reasons and R&D on this area
      is active with no clear solution in sight.
 
   b) help us inch closer to the now generally accepted long term goal
      of automating all the MODULE_LICENSE() tags from SPDX license tags
 
 In so far as a) is concerned, although module license tags are a no-op
 for non-modules, tools which would want create a mapping of possible
 modules can only rely on the module license tag after the commit
 8b41fc4454 ("kbuild: create modules.builtin without Makefile.modbuiltin
 or tristate.conf").  Nick has been working on this *for years* and
 AFAICT I was the only one to suggest two alternatives to this approach
 for tooling. The complexity in one of my suggested approaches lies in
 that we'd need a possible-obj-m and a could-be-module which would check
 if the object being built is part of any kconfig build which could ever
 lead to it being part of a module, and if so define a new define
 -DPOSSIBLE_MODULE [0]. A more obvious yet theoretical approach I've
 suggested would be to have a tristate in kconfig imply the same new
 -DPOSSIBLE_MODULE as well but that means getting kconfig symbol names
 mapping to modules always, and I don't think that's the case today. I am
 not aware of Nick or anyone exploring either of these options. Quite
 recently Josh Poimboeuf has pointed out that live patching, kprobes and
 BPF would benefit from resolving some part of the disambiguation as
 well but for other reasons. The function granularity KASLR (fgkaslr)
 patches were mentioned but Joe Lawrence has clarified this effort has
 been dropped with no clear solution in sight [1].
 
 In the meantime removing module license tags from code which could never
 be modules is welcomed for both objectives mentioned above. Some
 developers have also welcomed these changes as it has helped clarify
 when a module was never possible and they forgot to clean this up,
 and so you'll see quite a bit of Nick's patches in other pull
 requests for this merge window. I just picked up the stragglers after
 rc3. LWN has good coverage on the motivation behind this work [2] and
 the typical cross-tree issues he ran into along the way. The only
 concrete blocker issue he ran into was that we should not remove the
 MODULE_LICENSE() tags from files which have no SPDX tags yet, even if
 they can never be modules. Nick ended up giving up on his efforts due
 to having to do this vetting and backlash he ran into from folks who
 really did *not understand* the core of the issue nor were providing
 any alternative / guidance. I've gone through his changes and dropped
 the patches which dropped the module license tags where an SPDX
 license tag was missing, it only consisted of 11 drivers.  To see
 if a pull request deals with a file which lacks SPDX tags you
 can just use:
 
   ./scripts/spdxcheck.py -f \
 	$(git diff --name-only commid-id | xargs echo)
 
 You'll see a core module file in this pull request for the above,
 but that's not related to his changes. WE just need to add the SPDX
 license tag for the kernel/module/kmod.c file in the future but
 it demonstrates the effectiveness of the script.
 
 Most of Nick's changes were spread out through different trees,
 and I just picked up the slack after rc3 for the last kernel was out.
 Those changes have been in linux-next for over two weeks.
 
 The cleanups, debug code I added and final fix I added for modules
 were motivated by David Hildenbrand's report of boot failing on
 a systems with over 400 CPUs when KASAN was enabled due to running
 out of virtual memory space. Although the functional change only
 consists of 3 lines in the patch "module: avoid allocation if module is
 already present and ready", proving that this was the best we can
 do on the modules side took quite a bit of effort and new debug code.
 
 The initial cleanups I did on the modules side of things has been
 in linux-next since around rc3 of the last kernel, the actual final
 fix for and debug code however have only been in linux-next for about a
 week or so but I think it is worth getting that code in for this merge
 window as it does help fix / prove / evaluate the issues reported
 with larger number of CPUs. Userspace is not yet fixed as it is taking
 a bit of time for folks to understand the crux of the issue and find a
 proper resolution. Worst come to worst, I have a kludge-of-concept [3]
 of how to make kernel_read*() calls for modules unique / converge them,
 but I'm currently inclined to just see if userspace can fix this
 instead.

Josh Poimboeuf e3ff7c609f livepatch,sched: Add livepatch task switching to cond_resched()
There have been reports [1][2] of live patches failing to complete
within a reasonable amount of time due to CPU-bound kthreads.

Fix it by patching tasks in cond_resched().

There are four different flavors of cond_resched(), depending on the
kernel configuration.  Hook into all of them.

A more elegant solution might be to use a preempt notifier.  However,
non-ORC unwinders can't unwind a preempted task reliably.

 - Allow reloading a livepatched module by clearing livepatch-specific
   relocations in the livepatch module.

   Otherwise, the repeated load would fail on consistency checks.

  livepatch,x86: Clear relocation targets on a module removal
  x86/module: remove unused code in __apply_relocate_add
2023-02-23 14:00:10 -08:00
Song Liu 0c05e7bd2d livepatch,x86: Clear relocation targets on a module removal
Josh reported a bug:

  When the object to be patched is a module, and that module is
  rmmod'ed and reloaded, it fails to load with:

  module: x86/modules: Skipping invalid relocation target, existing value is nonzero for type 2, loc 00000000ba0302e9, val ffffffffa03e293c
  livepatch: failed to initialize patch 'livepatch_nfsd' for module 'nfsd' (-8)
  livepatch: patch 'livepatch_nfsd' failed for module 'nfsd', refusing to load module 'nfsd'

  The livepatch module has a relocation which references a symbol
  in the _previous_ loading of nfsd. When apply_relocate_add()
  tries to replace the old relocation with a new one, it sees that
  the previous one is nonzero and it errors out.

He also proposed three different solutions. We could remove the error
check in apply_relocate_add() introduced by commit eda9cec4c9
("x86/module: Detect and skip invalid relocations"). However the check
is useful for detecting corrupted modules.

We could also deny the patched modules to be removed. If it proved to be
a major drawback for users, we could still implement a different
approach. The solution would also complicate the existing code a lot.

We thus decided to reverse the relocation patching (clear all relocation
targets on x86_64). The solution is not
universal and is too much arch-specific, but it may prove to be simpler
in the end.

Zhen Lei 07cc2c931e livepatch: Improve the search performance of module_kallsyms_on_each_symbol()
Currently we traverse all symbols of all modules to find the specified
function for the specified module. But in reality, we just need to find
the given module and then traverse all the symbols in it.

Let's add a new parameter 'const char *modname' to function
module_kallsyms_on_each_symbol(), then we can compare the module names
directly in this function and call hook 'fn' after matching. If 'modname'
is NULL, the symbols of all modules are still traversed for compatibility
with other usage cases.

Phase1: mod1-->mod2..(subsequent modules do not need to be compared)
                |
Phase2:          -->f1-->f2-->f3

Assuming that there are m modules, each module has n symbols on average,
then the time complexity is reduced from O(m * n) to O(m) + O(n).

Miguel Ojeda b8a94bfb33 kallsyms: increase maximum kernel symbol length to 512
Rust symbols can become quite long due to namespacing introduced
by modules, types, traits, generics, etc. For instance,
the following code:

    pub mod my_module {
        pub struct MyType;
        pub struct MyGenericType<T>(T);

        pub trait MyTrait {
            fn my_method() -> u32;
        }

        impl MyTrait for MyGenericType<MyType> {
            fn my_method() -> u32 {
                42
            }
        }
    }

generates a symbol of length 96 when using the upcoming v0 mangling scheme:

    _RNvXNtCshGpAVYOtgW1_7example9my_moduleINtB2_13MyGenericTypeNtB2_6MyTypeENtB2_7MyTrait9my_method

At the moment, Rust symbols may reach up to 300 in length.
Setting 512 as the maximum seems like a reasonable choice to
keep some headroom.

David Vernet 5ef3dd2055 livepatch: Fix kobject refcount bug on klp_init_patch_early failure path
When enabling a klp patch with klp_enable_patch(), klp_init_patch_early()
is invoked to initialize the kobjects for the patch itself, as well as the
'struct klp_object' and 'struct klp_func' objects that comprise it.
However, there are some error paths in klp_enable_patch() where some
kobjects may have been initialized with kobject_init(), but an error code
is still returned due to e.g. a 'struct klp_object' having a NULL funcs
pointer.

In these paths, the initial reference of the kobject of the 'struct
klp_patch' may never be released, along with one or more of its objects and
their functions, as kobject_put() is not invoked on the cleanup path if
klp_init_patch_early() returns an error code.

For example, if an object entry such as the following were added to the
sample livepatch module's klp patch, it would cause the vmlinux klp_object,
and its klp_func which updates 'cmdline_proc_show', to never be released:

static struct klp_object objs[] = {
	{
		/* name being NULL means vmlinux */
		.funcs = funcs,
	},
	{
		/* NULL funcs -- would cause reference leak */
		.name = "kvm",
	}, { }
};

Without this change, if CONFIG_DEBUG_KOBJECT is enabled, and the sample klp
patch is loaded, the kobjects (the patch, the vmlinux 'struct klp_object',
and its func) are observed as initialized, but never released, in the dmesg
log output.  With the change, these kobject references no longer fail to be
released as the error case is properly handled before they are initialized.

Peter Zijlstra 1d05334d28 livepatch: Remove .klp.arch
After the previous patch, vmlinux-specific KLP relocations are now
applied early during KLP module load.  This means that .klp.arch
sections are no longer needed for *vmlinux-specific* KLP relocations.

One might think they're still needed for *module-specific* KLP
relocations.  If a to-be-patched module is loaded *after* its
corresponding KLP module is loaded, any corresponding KLP relocations
will be delayed until the to-be-patched module is loaded.  If any
special sections (.parainstructions, for example) rely on those
relocations, their initializations (apply_paravirt) need to be done
afterwards.  Thus the apparent need for arch_klp_init_object_loaded()
and its corresponding .klp.arch sections -- it allows some of the
special section initializations to be done at a later time.

But... if you look closer, that dependency between the special sections
and the module-specific KLP relocations doesn't actually exist in
reality.  Looking at the contents of the .altinstructions and
.parainstructions sections, there's not a realistic scenario in which a
KLP module's .altinstructions or .parainstructions section needs to
access a symbol in a to-be-patched module.  It might need to access a
local symbol or even a vmlinux symbol; but not another module's symbol.
When a special section needs to reference a local or vmlinux symbol, a
normal rela can be used instead of a KLP rela.

Since the special section initializations don't actually have any real
dependency on module-specific KLP relocations, .klp.arch and
arch_klp_init_object_loaded() no longer have a reason to exist.  So
remove them.

As Peter said much more succinctly:

  So the reason for .klp.arch was that .klp.rela.* stuff would overwrite
  paravirt instructions. If that happens you're doing it wrong. Those
  RELAs are core kernel, not module, and thus should've happened in
  .rela.* sections at patch-module loading time.

  Reverting this removes the two apply_{paravirt,alternatives}() calls
  from the late patching path, and means we don't have to worry about
  them when removing module_disable_ro().

Josh Poimboeuf 7c8e2bdd5f livepatch: Apply vmlinux-specific KLP relocations early
KLP relocations are livepatch-specific relocations which are applied to
a KLP module's text or data.  They exist for two reasons:

  1) Unexported symbols: replacement functions often need to access
     unexported symbols (e.g. static functions), which "normal"
     relocations don't allow.

  2) Late module patching: this is the ability for a KLP module to
     bypass normal module dependencies, such that the KLP module can be
     loaded *before* a to-be-patched module.  This means that
     relocations which need to access symbols in the to-be-patched
     module might need to be applied to the KLP module well after it has
     been loaded.

Non-late-patched KLP relocations are applied from the KLP module's init
function.  That usually works fine, unless the patched code wants to use
alternatives, paravirt patching, jump tables, or some other special
section which needs relocations.  Then we run into ordering issues and
crashes.

In order for those special sections to work properly, the KLP
relocations should be applied *before* the special section init code
runs, such as apply_paravirt(), apply_alternatives(), or
jump_label_apply_nops().

You might think the obvious solution would be to move the KLP relocation
initialization earlier, but it's not necessarily that simple.  The
problem is the above-mentioned late module patching, for which KLP
relocations can get applied well after the KLP module is loaded.

To "fix" this issue in the past, we created .klp.arch sections:

  .klp.arch.{module}..altinstructions
  .klp.arch.{module}..parainstructions

Those sections allow KLP late module patching code to call
apply_paravirt() and apply_alternatives() after the module-specific KLP
relocations (.klp.rela.{module}.{section}) have been applied.

But that has a lot of drawbacks, including code complexity, the need for
arch-specific code, and the (per-arch) danger that we missed some
special section -- for example the __jump_table section which is used
for jump labels.

It turns out there's a simpler and more functional approach.  There are
two kinds of KLP relocation sections:

  1) vmlinux-specific KLP relocation sections

     .klp.rela.vmlinux.{sec}

     These are relocations (applied to the KLP module) which reference
     unexported vmlinux symbols.

  2) module-specific KLP relocation sections

     .klp.rela.{module}.{sec}:

     These are relocations (applied to the KLP module) which reference
     unexported or exported module symbols.

Up until now, these have been treated the same.  However, they're
inherently different.

Because of late module patching, module-specific KLP relocations can be
applied very late, thus they can create the ordering headaches described
above.

But vmlinux-specific KLP relocations don't have that problem.  There's
nothing to prevent them from being applied earlier.  So apply them at
the same time as normal relocations, when the KLP module is being
loaded.

This means that for vmlinux-specific KLP relocations, we no longer have
any ordering issues.  vmlinux-referencing jump labels, alternatives, and
paravirt patching will work automatically, without the need for the
.klp.arch hacks.

All that said, for module-specific KLP relocations, the ordering
problems still exist and we *do* still need .klp.arch.  Or do we?  Stay
tuned.

Josh Poimboeuf dcf550e52f livepatch: Disallow vmlinux.ko
This is purely a theoretical issue, but if there were a module named
vmlinux.ko, the livepatch relocation code wouldn't be able to
distinguish between vmlinux-specific and vmlinux.o-specific KLP
relocations.

If CONFIG_LIVEPATCH is enabled, don't allow a module named vmlinux.ko.

Petr Mladek 92c9abf5e5 livepatch: Allow to distinguish different version of system state changes
The atomic replace runs pre/post (un)install callbacks only from the new
livepatch. There are several reasons for this:

  + Simplicity: clear ordering of operations, no interactions between
	old and new callbacks.

  + Reliability: only new livepatch knows what changes can already be made
	by older livepatches and how to take over the state.

  + Testing: the atomic replace can be properly tested only when a newer
	livepatch is available. It might be too late to fix unwanted effect
	of callbacks from older	livepatches.

It might happen that an older change is not enough and the same system
state has to be modified another way. Different changes need to get
distinguished by a version number added to struct klp_state.

The version can also be used to prevent loading incompatible livepatches.
The check is done when the livepatch is enabled. The rules are:

  + Any completely new system state modification is allowed.

  + System state modifications with the same or higher version are allowed
    for already modified system states.

  + Cumulative livepatches must handle all system state modifications from
    already installed livepatches.

  + Non-cumulative livepatches are allowed to touch already modified
    system states.

Petr Mladek 7e35e4eb7e livepatch: Keep replaced patches until post_patch callback is called
Pre/post (un)patch callbacks might manipulate the system state. Cumulative
livepatches might need to take over the changes made by the replaced
ones. For this they might need to access some data stored or referenced
by the old livepatches.

Therefore the replaced livepatches have to stay around until post_patch()
callback is called. It is achieved by calling the free functions later.
It is the same location where disabled livepatches have already been
freed.

Miroslav Benes 4ff96fb52c livepatch: Nullify obj->mod in klp_module_coming()'s error path
klp_module_coming() is called for every module appearing in the system.
It sets obj->mod to a patched module for klp_object obj. Unfortunately
it leaves it set even if an error happens later in the function and the
patched module is not allowed to be loaded.

klp_is_object_loaded() uses obj->mod variable and could currently give a
wrong return value. The bug is probably harmless as of now.

      klp_write_object_relocations()
        apply_relocate_add()
	  *patches read-only code* - BOOM

A similar race exists when toggling ftrace while loading a livepatch
module.

Fix it by ensuring that the livepatch and ftrace code patching
operations -- and their respective permissions changes -- are protected
by the text_mutex.

The only purpose of klp_check_compiler_support() is to make sure that we
are not using ftrace on x86 via mcount (because that's executed only after

Now that mcount is not supported by ftrace any more, there is no need for
klp_check_compiler_support() either.

Petr Mladek 31adf2308f livepatch: Convert error about unsupported reliable stacktrace into a warning
The commit d0807da78e ("livepatch: Remove immediate feature") caused
that any livepatch was refused when reliable stacktraces were not supported
on the given architecture.

The limitation is too strong. User space processes are safely migrated
even when entering or leaving the kernel. Kthreads transition would
need to get forced. But it is safe when:

   + The livepatch does not change the semantic of the code.
   + Callbacks do not depend on a safely finished transition.

Kimberly Brown 70283454c9 livepatch: Replace klp_ktype_patch's default_attrs with groups
The kobj_type default_attrs field is being replaced by the
default_groups field. Replace klp_ktype_patch's default_attrs field
with default_groups and use the ATTRIBUTE_GROUPS macro to create
klp_patch_groups.

This patch was tested by loading the livepatch-sample module and
verifying that the sysfs files for the attributes in the default groups
were created.

Jiri Kosina f9d1381456 Merge branch 'for-5.1/atomic-replace' into for-linus
The atomic replace allows to create cumulative patches. They are useful when
you maintain many livepatches and want to remove one that is lower on the
stack. In addition it is very useful when more patches touch the same function
and there are dependencies between them.

It's also a feature some of the distros are using already to distribute
their patches.

Petr Mladek a087cdd407 livepatch: Module coming and going callbacks can proceed with all listed patches
Livepatches can no longer get enabled and disabled repeatedly.
The list klp_patches contains only enabled patches and eventually
the patch in transition.

The module coming and going callbacks do no longer need to check
for these state. They have to proceed with all listed patches.

Petr Mladek d67a537209 livepatch: Remove ordering (stacking) of the livepatches
The atomic replace and cumulative patches were introduced as a more secure
way to handle dependent patches. They simplify the logic:

  + Any new cumulative patch is supposed to take over shadow variables
    and changes made by callbacks from previous livepatches.

  + All replaced patches are discarded and the modules can be unloaded.
    As a result, there is only one scenario when a cumulative livepatch
    gets disabled.

The different handling of "normal" and cumulative patches might cause
confusion. It would make sense to keep only one mode. On the other hand,
it would be rude to enforce using the cumulative livepatches even for
trivial and independent (hot) fixes.

However, the stack of patches is not really necessary any longer.
The patch ordering was never clearly visible via the sysfs interface.
Also the "normal" patches need a lot of caution anyway.

Note that the list of enabled patches is still necessary but the ordering
is not longer enforced.

Otherwise, the code is ready to disable livepatches in an random order.
Namely, klp_check_stack_func() always looks for the function from
the livepatch that is being disabled. klp_func structures are just
removed from the related func_stack. Finally, the ftrace handlers
is removed only when the func_stack becomes empty.

Petr Mladek d697bad588 livepatch: Remove Nop structures when unused
Replaced patches are removed from the stack when the transition is
finished. It means that Nop structures will never be needed again
and can be removed. Why should we care?

  + Nop structures give the impression that the function is patched
    even though the ftrace handler has no effect.

  + Ftrace handlers do not come for free. They cause slowdown that might
    be visible in some workloads. The ftrace-related slowdown might
    actually be the reason why the function is no longer patched in
    the new cumulative patch. One would expect that cumulative patch
    would help solve these problems as well.

  + Cumulative patches are supposed to replace any earlier version of
    the patch. The amount of NOPs depends on which version was replaced.
    This multiplies the amount of scenarios that might happen.

    One might say that NOPs are innocent. But there are even optimized
    NOP instructions for different processors, for example, see
    arch/x86/kernel/alternative.c. And klp_ftrace_handler() is much
    more complicated.

  + It sounds natural to clean up a mess that is no longer needed.
    It could only be worse if we do not do it.

This patch allows to unpatch and free the dynamic structures independently
when the transition finishes.

The free part is a bit tricky because kobject free callbacks are called
asynchronously. We could not wait for them easily. Fortunately, we do
not have to. Any further access can be avoided by removing them from
the dynamic lists.

Jason Baron e1452b607c livepatch: Add atomic replace
Sometimes we would like to revert a particular fix. Currently, this
is not easy because we want to keep all other fixes active and we
could revert only the last applied patch.

One solution would be to apply new patch that implemented all
the reverted functions like in the original code. It would work
as expected but there will be unnecessary redirections. In addition,
it would also require knowing which functions need to be reverted at
build time.

Another problem is when there are many patches that touch the same
functions. There might be dependencies between patches that are
not enforced on the kernel side. Also it might be pretty hard to
actually prepare the patch and ensure compatibility with the other
patches.

Atomic replace && cumulative patches:

A better solution would be to create cumulative patch and say that
it replaces all older ones.

This patch adds a new "replace" flag to struct klp_patch. When it is
enabled, a set of 'nop' klp_func will be dynamically created for all
functions that are already being patched but that will no longer be
modified by the new patch. They are used as a new target during
the patch transition.

The idea is to handle Nops' structures like the static ones. When
the dynamic structures are allocated, we initialize all values that
are normally statically defined.

The only exception is "new_func" in struct klp_func. It has to point
to the original function and the address is known only when the object
(module) is loaded. Note that we really need to set it. The address is
used, for example, in klp_check_stack_func().

Nevertheless we still need to distinguish the dynamically allocated
structures in some operations. For this, we add "nop" flag into
struct klp_func and "dynamic" flag into struct klp_object. They
need special handling in the following situations:

  + The structures are added into the lists of objects and functions
    immediately. In fact, the lists were created for this purpose.

  + The address of the original function is known only when the patched
    object (module) is loaded. Therefore it is copied later in
    klp_init_object_loaded().

  + The ftrace handler must not set PC to func->new_func. It would cause
    infinite loop because the address points back to the beginning of
    the original function.

  + The various free() functions must free the structure itself.

Note that other ways to detect the dynamic structures are not considered
safe. For example, even the statically defined struct klp_object might
include empty funcs array. It might be there just to run some callbacks.

Also note that the safe iterator must be used in the free() functions.
Otherwise already freed structures might get accessed.

Special callbacks handling:

The callbacks from the replaced patches are _not_ called by intention.
It would be pretty hard to define a reasonable semantic and implement it.

It might even be counter-productive. The new patch is cumulative. It is
supposed to include most of the changes from older patches. In most cases,
it will not want to call pre_unpatch() post_unpatch() callbacks from
the replaced patches. It would disable/break things for no good reasons.
Also it should be easier to handle various scenarios in a single script
in the new patch than think about interactions caused by running many
scripts from older patches. Not to say that the old scripts even would
not expect to be called in this situation.

Removing replaced patches:

One nice effect of the cumulative patches is that the code from the
older patches is no longer used. Therefore the replaced patches can
be removed. It has several advantages:

  + Nops' structs will no longer be necessary and might be removed.
    This would save memory, restore performance (no ftrace handler),
    allow clear view on what is really patched.

  + Disabling the patch will cause using the original code everywhere.
    Therefore the livepatch callbacks could handle only one scenario.
    Note that the complication is already complex enough when the patch
    gets enabled. It is currently solved by calling callbacks only from
    the new cumulative patch.

  + The state is clean in both the sysfs interface and lsmod. The modules
    with the replaced livepatches might even get removed from the system.

Some people actually expected this behavior from the beginning. After all
a cumulative patch is supposed to "completely" replace an existing one.
It is like when a new version of an application replaces an older one.

This patch does the first step. It removes the replaced patches from
the list of patches. It is safe. The consistency model ensures that
they are no longer used. By other words, each process works only with
the structures from klp_transition_patch.

The removal is done by a special function. It combines actions done by
__disable_patch() and klp_complete_transition(). But it is a fast
track without all the transaction-related stuff.

Jason Baron 20e5502595 livepatch: Use lists to manage patches, objects and functions
Currently klp_patch contains a pointer to a statically allocated array of
struct klp_object and struct klp_objects contains a pointer to a statically
allocated array of klp_func. In order to allow for the dynamic allocation
of objects and functions, link klp_patch, klp_object, and klp_func together
via linked lists. This allows us to more easily allocate new objects and
functions, while having the iterator be a simple linked list walk.

The static structures are added to the lists early. It allows to add
the dynamically allocated objects before klp_init_object() and
klp_init_func() calls. Therefore it reduces the further changes
to the code.

This patch does not change the existing behavior.
