kallsyms: take advantage of the new '%px' format

2017-11-29T18:30:13+00:00

The conditional kallsym hex printing used a special fixed-width '%lx' output (KALLSYM_FMT) in preparation for the hashing of %p, but that series ended up adding a %px specifier to help with the conversions. Use it, and avoid the "print pointer as an unsigned long" code. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

Pull security subsystem integrity updates from James Morris: "There is a mixture of bug fixes, code cleanup, preparatory code for new functionality and new functionality. Commit 26ddabfe96bb ("evm: enable EVM when X509 certificate is loaded") enabled EVM without loading a symmetric key, but was limited to defining the x509 certificate pathname at build. Included in this set of patches is the ability of enabling EVM, without loading the EVM symmetric key, from userspace. New is the ability to prevent the loading of an EVM symmetric key." * 'next-integrity' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jmorris/linux-security: ima: Remove redundant conditional operator ima: Fix bool initialization/comparison ima: check signature enforcement against cmdline param instead of CONFIG module: export module signature enforcement status ima: fix hash algorithm initialization EVM: Only complain about a missing HMAC key once EVM: Allow userspace to signal an RSA key has been loaded EVM: Include security.apparmor in EVM measurements ima: call ima_file_free() prior to calling fasync integrity: use kernel_read_file_from_path() to read x509 certs ima: always measure and audit files in policy ima: don't remove the securityfs policy file vfs: fix mounting a filesystem with i_version

/proc/module: use the same logic as /proc/kallsyms for address exposure

2017-11-13T03:01:23+00:00

The (alleged) users of the module addresses are the same: kernel profiling. So just expose the same helper and format macros, and unify the logic. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

modules: make sysfs attribute files readable by owner only

2017-11-13T01:00:53+00:00

This code goes back to the historical bitkeeper tree commit 3f7b0672086 ("Module section offsets in /sys/module"), where Jonathan Corbet wanted to show people how to debug loadable modules. See https://lwn.net/Articles/88052/ from June 2004. To expose the required load address information, Jonathan added the sections subdirectory for every module in /sys/modules, and made them S_IRUGO - readable by everybody. It was a more innocent time, plus those S_IRxxx macro names are a lot more confusing than the octal numbers are, so maybe it wasn't even intentional. But here we are, thirteen years later, and I'll just change it to S_IRUSR instead. Let's see if anybody even notices. Cc: Jonathan Corbet Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

module: export module signature enforcement status

2017-11-08T20:16:36+00:00

A static variable sig_enforce is used as status var to indicate the real value of CONFIG_MODULE_SIG_FORCE, once this one is set the var will hold true, but if the CONFIG is not set the status var will hold whatever value is present in the module.sig_enforce kernel cmdline param: true when =1 and false when =0 or not present. Considering this cmdline param take place over the CONFIG value when it's not set, other places in the kernel could misbehave since they would have only the CONFIG_MODULE_SIG_FORCE value to rely on. Exporting this status var allows the kernel to rely in the effective value of module signature enforcement, being it from CONFIG value or cmdline param. Signed-off-by: Bruno E. O.

ftrace: Save module init functions kallsyms symbols for tracing

2017-10-05T21:57:33+00:00

If function tracing is active when the module init functions are freed, then store them to be referenced by kallsyms. As module init functions can now be traced on module load, they were useless: ># echo ':mod:snd_seq' > set_ftrace_filter ># echo function > current_tracer ># modprobe snd_seq ># cat trace # tracer: function # # _-----=> irqs-off # / _----=> need-resched # | / _---=> hardirq/softirq # || / _--=> preempt-depth # ||| / delay # TASK-PID CPU# |||| TIMESTAMP FUNCTION # | | | |||| | | modprobe-2786 [000] .... 3189.037874: 0xffffffffa0860000 <-do_one_initcall modprobe-2786 [000] .... 3189.037876: 0xffffffffa086004d <-0xffffffffa086000f modprobe-2786 [000] .... 3189.037876: 0xffffffffa086010d <-0xffffffffa0860018 modprobe-2786 [000] .... 3189.037877: 0xffffffffa086011a <-0xffffffffa0860021 modprobe-2786 [000] .... 3189.037877: 0xffffffffa0860080 <-0xffffffffa086002a modprobe-2786 [000] .... 3189.039523: 0xffffffffa0860400 <-0xffffffffa0860033 modprobe-2786 [000] .... 3189.039523: 0xffffffffa086038a <-0xffffffffa086041c modprobe-2786 [000] .... 3189.039591: 0xffffffffa086038a <-0xffffffffa0860436 modprobe-2786 [000] .... 3189.039657: 0xffffffffa086038a <-0xffffffffa0860450 modprobe-2786 [000] .... 3189.039719: 0xffffffffa0860127 <-0xffffffffa086003c modprobe-2786 [000] .... 3189.039742: snd_seq_create_kernel_client <-0xffffffffa08601f6 When the output is shown, the kallsyms for the module init functions have already been freed, and the output of the trace can not convert them to their function names.

ftrace: Allow module init functions to be traced

Allow for module init sections to be traced as well as core kernel init sections. Now that filtering modules functions can be stored, for when they are loaded, it makes sense to be able to trace them. Cc: Jessica Yu Cc: Rusty Russell Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (VMware)
