Subject: [PATCH v3 0/5] livepatch: new API to track system state changes

Hi,

this is another piece in the puzzle that helps to maintain more
livepatches.

Especially pre/post (un)patch callbacks might change a system state.
Any newly installed livepatch has to somehow deal with system state
modifications done be already installed livepatches.

This patchset provides a simple and generic API that
helps to keep and pass information between the livepatches.
It is also usable to prevent loading incompatible livepatches.

Changes since v2:

+ Typo fixes [Miroslav]
+ Move the documentation at the end of the list [Miroslav]
+ Add Miroslav's acks

Changes since v1:

+ Use "unsigned long" instead of "int" for "state.id" [Nicolai]
+ Use "unsigned int" instead of "int" for "state.version [Petr]
+ Include "state.h" to avoid warning about non-static func [Miroslav]
+ Simplify logic in klp_is_state_compatible() [Miroslav]
+ Document how livepatches should handle the state [Nicolai]
+ Fix some typos, formulation, module metadata [Joe, Miroslav]

Subject: [PATCH v3 1/5] 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.

Subject: [PATCH v3 3/5] 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.

+====================
+System State Changes
+====================
+
+Some users are really reluctant to reboot a system. This brings the need
+to provide more livepatches and maintain some compatibility between them.
+
+Maintaining more livepatches is much easier with cumulative livepatches.
+Each new livepatch completely replaces any older one. It can keep,
+add, and even remove fixes. And it is typically safe to replace any version
+of the livepatch with any other one thanks to the atomic replace feature.
+
+The problems might come with shadow variables and callbacks. They might
+change the system behavior or state so that it is no longer safe to
+go back and use an older livepatch or the original kernel code. Also
+any new livepatch must be able to detect what changes have already been
+done by the already installed livepatches.
+
+This is where the livepatch system state tracking gets useful. It
+allows to:
+
+ - store data needed to manipulate and restore the system state
+
+ - define compatibility between livepatches using a change id
+ and version
+
+
+1. Livepatch system state API
+=============================
+
+The state of the system might get modified either by several livepatch callbacks
+or by the newly used code. Also it must be possible to find changes done by
+already installed livepatches.
+
+Each modified state is described by struct klp_state, see
+include/linux/livepatch.h.
+
+Each livepatch defines an array of struct klp_states. They mention
+all states that the livepatch modifies.
+
+The livepatch author must define the following two fields for each
+struct klp_state:
+
+ - *id*
+
+ - Non-zero number used to identify the affected system state.
+
+ - *version*
+
+ - Number describing the variant of the system state change that
+ is supported by the given livepatch.
+
+The state can be manipulated using two functions:
+
+ - *klp_get_state(patch, id)*
+
+ - Get struct klp_state associated with the given livepatch
+ and state id.
+
+ - *klp_get_prev_state(id)*
+
+ - Get struct klp_state associated with the given feature id and
+ already installed livepatches.
+
+2. Livepatch compatibility
+==========================
+
+The system state version is 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.
+
+3. Supported scenarios
+======================
+
+Livepatches have their life-cycle and the same is true for the system
+state changes. Every compatible livepatch has to support the following
+scenarios:
+
+ - Modify the system state when the livepatch gets enabled and the state
+ has not been already modified by a livepatches that are being
+ replaced.
+
+ - Take over or update the system state modification when is has already
+ been done by a livepatch that is being replaced.
+
+ - Restore the original state when the livepatch is disabled.
+
+ - Restore the previous state when the transition is reverted.
+ It might be the orignal system state or the state modification
+ done by livepatches that were being replaced.
+
+ - Remove any already made changes when error occurs and the livepatch
+ cannot get enabled.
+
+4. Expected usage
+=================
+
+System states are usually modified by livepatch callbacks. The expected
+role of each callback is as follows:
+
+*pre_patch()*
+
+ - Allocate *state->data* when necessary. The allocation might fail
+ and *pre_patch()* is the only callback that could stop loading
+ of the livepatch. The allocation is not needed when the data
+ are already provided by previously installed livepatches.
+
+ - Do any other preparatory action that is needed by
+ the new code even before the transition gets finished.
+ For example, initialize *state->data*.
+
+ The system state itself is typically modified in *post_patch()*
+ when the entire system is able to handle it.
+
+ - Clean up its own mess in case of error. It might be done by a custom
+ code or by calling *post_unpatch()* explicitly.
+
+*post_patch()*
+
+ - Copy *state->data* from the previous livepatch when they are
+ compatible.
+
+ - Do the actual system state modification. Eventually allow
+ the new code to use it.
+
+ - Make sure that *state->data* has all necessary information.
+
+ - Free *state->data* from replaces livepatches when they are
+ not longer needed.
+
+*pre_unpatch()*
+
+ - Prevent the code, added by the livepatch, relying on the system
+ state change.
+
+ - Revert the system state modification..
+
+*post_unpatch()*
+
+ - Distinguish transition reverse and livepatch disabling by
+ checking *klp_get_prev_state()*.
+
+ - In case of transition reverse, restore the previous system
+ state. It might mean doing nothing.
+
+ - Remove any not longer needed setting or data.
+
+.. note::
+
+ *pre_unpatch()* typically does symmetric operations to *post_patch()*.
+ Except that it is called only when the livepatch is being disabled.
+ Therefore it does not need to care about any previously installed
+ livepatch.
+
+ *post_unpatch()* typically does symmetric operations to *pre_patch()*.
+ It might be called also during the transition reverse. Therefore it
+ has to handle the state of the previously installed livepatches.

Subject: [PATCH v3 2/5] livepatch: Basic API to track system state changes

This is another step how to help maintaining more livepatches.

One big help was the atomic replace and cumulative livepatches. These
livepatches replace the already installed ones. Therefore it should
be enough when each cumulative livepatch is consistent.

The problems might come with shadow variables and callbacks. They might
change the system behavior or state so that it is no longer safe to
go back and use an older livepatch or the original kernel code. Also,
a new livepatch must be able to detect changes which were made by
the already installed livepatches.

This is where the livepatch system state tracking gets useful. It
allows to:

- find whether a system state has already been modified by
previous livepatches

- store data needed to manipulate and restore the system state

The information about the manipulated system states is stored in an
array of struct klp_state. It can be searched by two new functions
klp_get_state() and klp_get_prev_state().

The dependencies are going to be solved by a version field added later.
The only important information is that it will be allowed to modify
the same state by more non-cumulative livepatches. It is similar
to allowing to modify the same function several times. The livepatch
author is responsible for preventing incompatible changes.

Hi Petr,

Thanks for respinning this one with the latest updates. The
implementation looks fine to me. I have two really minor nits for the
selftest (I'll reply to that commit), but I wouldn't hold up the series
for them.

nit: a matter of style, and I don't mind either, but the other test
scripts used $MOD_LIVEPATCH{2,3} variable replacement in the
check_result string. I think I originally did that when we were
reviewing the first self-test patchset and the filenames may or may not
have changed. Those names are stable now, so I don't have a strong
opinion either way.

FWIW, if someone wants to make the copyright change on merge, I'm cool
with this version.

Please, find below and updated version of the patch that fixes
the two above problems and also the kbuild robot failure.

The build failure was fixed by #include <linux/slab.h>

Here we go:

Is it necessary to assume that 'version' is non-zero? It would be easy
for a user to not realize that and start with version 0. Then the patch
state would be silently ignored.

I have the same concern about 'id', but I guess at least one of them has
to be non-zero to differentiate valid entries from the array terminator.

From my perspective I view '!new_state' as an error condition. I'd find
it easier to read if the ordering were changed to check for the error
first:

if (!new_state) {
/*
* A cumulative livepatch must handle all already
* modified states.
*/
return !patch->replace;
}

return new_state->version >= state->version;

Extra newline above.

I think renaming 'state' to 'old_state' would make the intention a
little clearer, and would be consistent with 'old_patch'.

Exactly. At least one struct member must be non-zero to differentiate
the array terminator.

I do not mind to allow zero version. Will do so in v4.

Makes sense. I'll make the names consistent also in klp_is_state_compatible():


/* Check if the patch is able to deal with the given system state. */
static bool klp_is_state_compatible(struct klp_patch *patch,
