Merge tag 'modules-6.6-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mcgrof/linux
Pull modules updates from Luis Chamberlain: "Summary of the changes worth highlighting from most interesting to boring below:
- Christoph Hellwig's symbol_get() fix to Nvidia's efforts to circumvent the protection he put in place in year 2020 to prevent proprietary modules from using GPL only symbols, and also ensuring proprietary modules which export symbols grandfather their taint.
That was done through year 2020 commit 262e6ae7081d ("modules: inherit TAINT_PROPRIETARY_MODULE"). Christoph's new fix is done by clarifing __symbol_get() was only ever intended to prevent module reference loops by Linux kernel modules and so making it only find symbols exported via EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(). The circumvention tactic used by Nvidia was to use symbol_get() to purposely swift through proprietary module symbols and completely bypass our traditional EXPORT_SYMBOL*() annotations and community agreed upon restrictions.
A small set of preamble patches fix up a few symbols which just needed adjusting for this on two modules, the rtc ds1685 and the networking enetc module. Two other modules just needed some build fixing and removal of use of __symbol_get() as they can't ever be modular, as was done by Arnd on the ARM pxa module and Christoph did on the mmc au1xmmc driver.
This is a good reminder to us that symbol_get() is just a hack to address things which should be fixed through Kconfig at build time as was done in the later patches, and so ultimately it should just go.
- Extremely late minor fix for old module layout 055f23b74b20 ("module: check for exit sections in layout_sections() instead of module_init_section()") by James Morse for arm64. Note that this layout thing is old, it is *not* Song Liu's commit ac3b43283923 ("module: replace module_layout with module_memory"). The issue however is very odd to run into and so there was no hurry to get this in fast.
- Although the fix did not go through the modules tree I'd like to highlight the fix by Peter Zijlstra in commit 54097309620e ("x86/static_call: Fix __static_call_fixup()") now merged in your tree which came out of what was originally suspected to be a fallout of the the newer module layout changes by Song Liu commit ac3b43283923 ("module: replace module_layout with module_memory") instead of module_init_section()"). Thanks to the report by Christian Bricart and the debugging by Song Liu & Peter that turned to be noted as a kernel regression in place since v5.19 through commit ee88d363d156 ("x86,static_call: Use alternative RET encoding").
I highlight this to reflect and clarify that we haven't seen more fallout from ac3b43283923 ("module: replace module_layout with module_memory").
- RISC-V toolchain got mapping symbol support which prefix symbols with "$" to help with alignment considerations for disassembly.
This is used to differentiate between incompatible instruction encodings when disassembling. RISC-V just matches what ARM/AARCH64 did for alignment considerations and Palmer Dabbelt extended is_mapping_symbol() to accept these symbols for RISC-V. We already had support for this for all architectures but it also checked for the second character, the RISC-V check Dabbelt added was just for the "$". After a bit of testing and fallout on linux-next and based on feedback from Masahiro Yamada it was decided to simplify the check and treat the first char "$" as unique for all architectures, and so we no make is_mapping_symbol() for all archs if the symbol starts with "$".
The most relevant commit for this for RISC-V on binutils was:
https://sourceware.org/pipermail/binutils/2021-July/117350.html
- A late fix by Andrea Righi (today) to make module zstd decompression use vmalloc() instead of kmalloc() to account for large compressed modules. I suspect we'll see similar things for other decompression algorithms soon.
- samples/hw_breakpoint minor fixes by Rong Tao, Arnd Bergmann and Chen Jiahao"

module: Ignore RISC-V mapping symbols too
RISC-V has an extended form of mapping symbols that we use to encode the ISA when it changes in the middle of an ELF. This trips up modpost as a build failure, I haven't yet verified it yet but I believe the kallsyms difference should result in stacks looking sane again.

Merge tag 'modules-6.4-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mcgrof/linux
Pull module updates from Luis Chamberlain: "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:
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 8b41fc4454e ("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"

module: Ignore L0 and rename is_arm_mapping_symbol()
The L0 symbol is generated when build module on LoongArch, ignore it in modpost and when looking at module symbols, otherwise we can not see the expected call trace.
Now is_arm_mapping_symbol() is not only for ARM, in order to reflect the reality, rename is_arm_mapping_symbol() to is_mapping_symbol().
This is related with commit c17a2538704f ("mksysmap: Fix the mismatch of 'L0' symbols in System.map").

static int __init hello_init(void) { pr_warn("Hello, world\n"); test_func();
return 0; }
static void __exit hello_exit(void) { pr_warn("Goodbye\n"); }
module_init(hello_init); module_exit(hello_exit); MODULE_LICENSE("GPL"); [loongson@linux hello]$ cat Makefile obj-m:=hello.o
ccflags-y += -g -Og

(2) Test environment
system: LoongArch CLFS 5.5 https://github.com/sunhaiyong1978/CLFS-for-LoongArch/releases/tag/5.0 It needs to update grub to avoid booting error "invalid magic number".
kernel: 6.3-rc1 with loongson3_defconfig + CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE=y
