Subject: [question] insert ko failed because count_plts return 0 when CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_BASE is not set

Hi

I make a Image for arm64 (without CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_BASE). And a ko (13M)
can not be inserted.

WARNING: CPU: 2 PID: 1998 at arch/arm64/kernel/module-plts.c:39
module_emit_plt_entry+0x100/0x118
...
Call trace:
module_emit_plt_entry+0x100/0x118
apply_relocate_add+0x34c/0x570
...

I think the problem is that:
in apply_relocate_add:
case R_AARCH64_CALL26:
ovf = reloc_insn_imm(RELOC_OP_PREL, loc, val, 2, 26,
AARCH64_INSN_IMM_26);

if (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_ARM64_MODULE_PLTS) &&
ovf == -ERANGE) {
val = module_emit_plt_entry(me, sechdrs,
loc, &rel[i], sym); realoc_insn_imm return -ERANGE (because the ko is
too big?)

in module_emit_plt_entry:
WARN_ON(pltsec->plt_num_entries > pltsec->plt_max_entries)
pltsec->plt_max_entries is 0 if CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_BASE is not be set.

a257e02 arm64/kernel: don't ban ADRP to work around Cortex-A53 erratum
#843419
static unsigned int count_plts(Elf64_Sym *syms, Elf64_Rela *rela, int
num,
- Elf64_Word dstidx)
+ Elf64_Word dstidx, Elf_Shdr *dstsec)
{
...
switch (ELF64_R_TYPE(rela[i].r_info)) {
case R_AARCH64_JUMP26:
case R_AARCH64_CALL26:
+ if (!IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_BASE))
+ break;
+

Why we need break if !IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_BASE)? or any
restrictions on ko?

I comment out this part of the code. the ko could be inserted, and seems
to work well. So is it a accepted way? or any solution for my case?

How many large modules have you loaded already? The module region is
only 128 MB, so if your modules are huge, you may run out of space.

Please check the kernel VA address and the load address of the module,
and check whether they are more than 128 MB apart.

Thanks Ard

I will check it.

One more question, why is CONFIG_ARM64_MODULE_PLTS depended on
CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_BASE?

Because modules should never go out of branching range if the
placement is not randomized and the total size of all modules does not
exceed 128 MB.
