Subject: [PATCH v5] module: Add CONFIG_MODULE_DISABLE_INIT_FREE option

Syzkaller uses the _RET_IP_ (also known as pc) to decode covered
file/function/line, and it employs pc ^ hash(prev_pc) (referred to as
signal) to indicate covered edge. If the pc for the same file/line
keeps changing across reboots, syzkaller will report incorrect coverage
data. Additionally, even if kaslr can be disabled, we cannot get the
same covered edge for module because both pc and prev_pc have changed,
thus altering pc ^ hash(prev_pc).

To facilitate syzkaller coverage, it is crucial for both the core kernel
and modules to maintain at the same addresses across reboots.

So, the following steps are necessary:
- In userspace:
1) To maintain an uninterrupted loading sequence, it is recommended to
execute modprobe commands by loading one module at a time, to avoid any
interference from the scheduler.
2) Avoid unloading any module during fuzzing.
- In kernel:
1) Disable CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_BASE to load the core kernel at the same
address consistently.
2) To ensure deterministic module loading at the same address, enabling
CONFIG_MODULE_DISABLE_INIT_FREE prevents the asynchronous freeing of init
sections. Without this option, there is a possibility that the next module
could be loaded into previous freed init pages of a previous loaded module.

It is important to note that this option is intended for fuzzing tests only
and should not be set as the default configuration in production builds.

Joey,

Thanks for working hard on expanding on the commit log to try to
describe the rationale for this. I'd like review from the linux-hardening
folks and at least one syzkaller developer.

OK but that seems immediately limited as your Kconfig confirms to
!CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_BASE and even for things like kaslr.

Yeah that seems pretty limiting. Why not use something like the
effort being put forward to map symbols a bit more accurately to
file / lines as with what Alessandro Carminati is doing for
scripts/link-vmlinux.sh to kallsyms. Although that effort helps
tracers differentiate duplicate symbols it would seem to also help
fuzzers too even if CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_BASE or kaslr are enabled.

The problem I see with this, is that, even if it does help, the argument
being put forward here is that the below recipe is completley
deterministic and it's not obviously clear to me that it truly is.

Is this well documented somewhere as a requirement for kernels running
syzkaller?

Because clearly CONFIG_MODULE_DISABLE_INIT_FREE is showing that the
above recipe was *not* deterministic and that there were holes in it.
Who's to say this completes the determinism?

Now, if the justificaiton is that it helps current *state of the art*
fuzzing mapping... that's different and then this could just be
temporary until a more accurate deterministic mechanism is considered.

But that seems false, I don't see proof to that yet. Helping it be more
acurrate, maybe. If the docs for syzkaller clearly spell these
requirements out then maybe this is valuable upstream for now, but
in the meantime the assumption above is just a bit too large for me
to accept to be true.
