Hi,
The atomic replace allows to create cumulative patches. They
are useful when you maintain many livepatches and want to remove
one that is lower on the stack. In addition it is very useful when
more patches touch the same function and there are dependencies
between them.
I kindly ask reviewers to concentrate on bugs and really confusing
names, comments, or commit messages. Even simple changes are not
always simple when rebasing. Also review is not trivial.
Feel free to report any problems and ideas. But I suggest
to do any non-critical changes on top of this patchset
when possible.
This is also why I did not add missing kzalloc error handling
and did not fix non-static warnings in the selftests. They
are not critical. And the discussion about the fixes
in sample directory was quite long.
PS: I am sorry that I lost nerves with the last review.
It was perfect time to report cosmetic problems. I just
was a bit overloaded and tired. Also it was a bit sad to
realize how bad my English was. I am going to hide under
some stone now.
Changes against v14:
+ Rename klp_active -> klp_added [Josh]
+ Do not clear klp_added variable in klp_free*() [Josh]
+ Rename klp_init_patch_before_free() -> klp_init_patch_early()
[Josh]
+ Do not call klp_free_patch() when
kobject_init_and_add(&patch->kobj) fails in 3rd patch.
The final code stays the same after the refactoring
in 5th patch. [Josh]
+ Better 4th patch subject [Josh]
+ Use safe iterators in klp_free() functions already in 7th
patch instead of in 8th [Josh]
+ Rename free_all -> nops_only and revert the logic in
klp_free*() and klp_unpatch_object*() functions [Josh]
+ Do not refuse loading conflicting patches. Just remove
the ordering (stacking) [Josh]
+ fixed typos, improved wording [all]
Changes against v13:
+ Rename old_addr -> old_func instead of new_func -> new_addr. [Josh]
+ Do not add the helper macros to define structures. [Miroslav, Josh]
+ Add custom kobj_alive flag to reliably handle kobj state. [Miroslav]
+ Avoid renaming .forced flag to .module_put by calling klp_free
functions only with taken module reference. [Josh]
+ Use list_add_tail() instead of list_add() when updating the dynamic
lists of klp_object and klp_func structures. Note that this
required also updating the order of messages from the pre/post
callbacks in the selftest. [Josh, Miroslav]
+ Do not unnecessarily initialize ret variable in klp_add_nops(). [Miroslav]
+ Got rid of klp_discard_replaced_stuff(). [Josh]
+ Updated commit messages, comments and documentation, especially
the section "Livepatch life-cycle" [Josh, Miroslav]
Changes against v12:
+ Finish freeing the patch using workqueues to prevent
deadlock against kobject code.
+ Check for valid pointers when initializing the dynamic
lists objects and functions.
+ Mark klp_free_objects_dynamic() static.
+ Improved documentation and fixed typos
Changes against v11:
+ Functional changes:
+ Livepatches get automatically unregistered when disabled.
Note that the sysfs interface disappears at this point.
It simplifies the API and code. The only drawback is that
the patch can be enabled again only by reloading the module.
+ Refuse to load conflicting patches. The same function can
be patched again only by a new cumulative patch that
replaces all older ones.
+ Non-conflicting patches can be loaded and disabled in any
order.
+ API related changes:
+ Change void *new_func -> unsigned long new_addr in
struct klp_func.
+ Several new macros to hide implementation details and
avoid casting when defining struct klp-func and klp_object.
+ Remove obsolete klp_register_patch() klp_unregister_patch() API
+ Change in selftest against v4:
+ Use new macros to define struct klp_func and klp_object.
+ Remove klp_register_patch()/klp_unregister_patch() calls.
+ Replace load_mod() + wait_for_transition() with three
variants load_mod(), load_lp(), load_lp_nowait(). IMHO,
it is easier to use because we need to detect the end
of transaction another way after disable_lp() now.
+ Replaced unload_mod() with two variants unload_mod(),
unload_lp() to match the above change.
+ Wait for the end of transition in disable_lp()
instead of the unreliable check of the sysfs interface.
Note that I did not touch the logs with expected result.
They stay exactly the same as in v4 posted by Joe.
I hope that it is a good sign ;-)
Changes against v10:
+ Bug fixes and functional changes:
+ Handle Nops in klp_ftrace_handled() to avoid infinite loop [Mirek]
+ Really add dynamically allocated klp_object into the list [Petr]
+ Clear patch->replace when transition finishes [Josh]
+ Refactoring and clean up [Josh]:
+ Replace enum types with bools
+ Avoid using ERR_PTR
+ Remove too paranoid warnings
+ Distinguish registered patches by a flag instead of a list
+ Squash some functions
+ Update comments, documentation, and commit messages
+ Squashed and split patches to do more controversial changes later
Changes against v9:
+ Fixed check of valid NOPs for already loaded objects,
regression introduced in v9 [Joe, Mirek]
+ Allow to replace even disabled patches [Evgenii]
Changes against v8:
+ Fixed handling of statically defined struct klp_object
with empty array of functions [Joe, Mirek]
+ Removed redundant func->new_func assignment for NOPs [Mirek]
+ Improved some wording [Mirek]
Changes against v7:
+ Fixed handling of NOPs for not-yet-loaded modules
+ Made klp_replaced_patches list static [Mirek]
+ Made klp_free_object() public later [Mirek]
+ Fixed several reported typos [Mirek, Joe]
+ Updated documentation according to the feedback [Joe]
+ Added some Acks [Mirek]
Changes against v6:
+ used list_move when disabling replaced patches [Jason]
+ renamed KLP_FUNC_ORIGINAL -> KLP_FUNC_STATIC [Mirek]
+ used klp_is_func_type() in klp_unpatch_object() [Mirek]
+ moved static definition of klp_get_or_add_object() [Mirek]
+ updated comment about synchronization in forced mode [Mirek]
+ added user documentation
+ fixed several typos

2.13.7
The possibility to re-enable a registered patch was useful for immediate
patches where the livepatch module had to stay until the system reboot.
The improved consistency model allows to achieve the same result by
unloading and loading the livepatch module again.
Also we are going to add a feature called atomic replace. It will allow
to create a patch that would replace all already registered patches.
The aim is to handle dependent patches more securely. It will obsolete
the stack of patches that helped to handle the dependencies so far.
Then it might be unclear when a cumulative patch re-enabling is safe.
It would be complicated to support the many modes. Instead we could
actually make the API and code easier to understand.
Therefore, remove the two step public API. All the checks and init calls
are moved from klp_register_patch() to klp_enabled_patch(). Also the patch
is automatically freed, including the sysfs interface when the transition
to the disabled state is completed.
As a result, there is never a disabled patch on the top of the stack.
Therefore we do not need to check the stack in __klp_enable_patch().
And we could simplify the check in __klp_disable_patch().
Also the API and logic is much easier. It is enough to call
klp_enable_patch() in module_init() call. The patch can be disabled
by writing '0' into /sys/kernel/livepatch/<patch>/enabled. Then the module
can be removed once the transition finishes and sysfs interface is freed.
The only problem is how to free the structures and kobjects safely.
The operation is triggered from the sysfs interface. We could not put
the related kobject from there because it would cause lock inversion
between klp_mutex and kernfs locks, see kn->count lockdep map.
Therefore, offload the free task to a workqueue. It is perfectly fine:
+ The patch can no longer be used in the livepatch operations.
+ The module could not be removed until the free operation finishes
and module_put() is called.
+ The operation is asynchronous already when the first
klp_try_complete_transition() fails and another call
is queued with a delay.

-------------------------------
-
-The usual behavior is that the new functions will get used when

-section "Livepatch life-cycle" below for more details about these

5. Livepatch life-cycle
=======================
-Livepatching defines four basic operations that define the life cycle of each
-live patch: registration, enabling, disabling and unregistration. There are
-several reasons why it is done this way.
-
-First, the patch is applied only when all patched symbols for already
-loaded objects are found. The error handling is much easier if this
-check is done before particular functions get redirected.
+Livepatching can be described by four basic operations:
+loading, enabling, disabling, removing.
-Second, it might take some time until the entire system is migrated with
-the hybrid consistency model being used. The patch revert might block
-the livepatch module removal for too long. Therefore it is useful to
-revert the patch using a separate operation that might be called
-explicitly. But it does not make sense to remove all information until
-the livepatch module is really removed.
+5.1. Loading
+------------
-5.1. Registration
------------------
+The only reasonable way is to enable the patch when the livepatch kernel
+module is being loaded. For this, klp_enable_patch() has to be called
+in the module_init() callback. There are two main reasons:
-Each patch first has to be registered using klp_register_patch(). This makes
-the patch known to the livepatch framework. Also it does some preliminary
-computing and checks.
+First, only the module has an easy access to the related struct klp_patch.
-In particular, the patch is added into the list of known patches. The
-addresses of the patched functions are found according to their names.
-The special relocations, mentioned in the section "New functions", are
-applied. The relevant entries are created under
-/sys/kernel/livepatch/<name>. The patch is rejected when any operation
-fails.
+Second, the error code might be used to refuse loading the module when
+the patch cannot get enabled.
5.2. Enabling
-------------
-Registered patches might be enabled either by calling klp_enable_patch() or
-by writing '1' to /sys/kernel/livepatch/<name>/enabled. The system will
-start using the new implementation of the patched functions at this stage.
+The livepatch gets enabled by calling klp_enable_patch() from
+the module_init() callback. The system will start using the new
+implementation of the patched functions at this stage.
-When a patch is enabled, livepatch enters into a transition state where
-tasks are converging to the patched state. This is indicated by a value
-of '1' in /sys/kernel/livepatch/<name>/transition. Once all tasks have
-been patched, the 'transition' value changes to '0'. For more
-information about this process, see the "Consistency model" section.
+First, the addresses of the patched functions are found according to their
+names. The special relocations, mentioned in the section "New functions",
+are applied. The relevant entries are created under
+/sys/kernel/livepatch/<name>. The patch is rejected when any above
+operation fails.
-If an original function is patched for the first time, a function
-specific struct klp_ops is created and an universal ftrace handler is
-registered.
+Second, livepatch enters into a transition state where tasks are converging
+to the patched state. If an original function is patched for the first
+time, a function specific struct klp_ops is created and an universal
+ftrace handler is registered[*]. This stage is indicated by a value of '1'
+in /sys/kernel/livepatch/<name>/transition. For more information about
+this process, see the "Consistency model" section.
-Functions might be patched multiple times. The ftrace handler is registered
-only once for the given function. Further patches just add an entry to the
-list (see field `func_stack`) of the struct klp_ops. The last added
-entry is chosen by the ftrace handler and becomes the active function
-replacement.
+Finally, once all tasks have been patched, the 'transition' value changes
+to '0'.
-Note that the patches might be enabled in a different order than they were
-registered.

+ is registered only once for a given function. Further patches just add
+ an entry to the list (see field `func_stack`) of the struct klp_ops.
+ The right implementation is selected by the ftrace handler, see
+ the "Consistency model" section.
5.3. Disabling
--------------
-Enabled patches might get disabled either by calling klp_disable_patch() or
-by writing '0' to /sys/kernel/livepatch/<name>/enabled. At this stage
-either the code from the previously enabled patch or even the original
-code gets used.
+Enabled patches might get disabled by writing '0' to
+/sys/kernel/livepatch/<name>/enabled.
-When a patch is disabled, livepatch enters into a transition state where
-tasks are converging to the unpatched state. This is indicated by a
-value of '1' in /sys/kernel/livepatch/<name>/transition. Once all tasks
-have been unpatched, the 'transition' value changes to '0'. For more
-information about this process, see the "Consistency model" section.
+First, livepatch enters into a transition state where tasks are converging
+to the unpatched state. The system starts using either the code from
+the previously enabled patch or even the original one. This stage is
+indicated by a value of '1' in /sys/kernel/livepatch/<name>/transition.
+For more information about this process, see the "Consistency model"
+section.
-Here all the functions (struct klp_func) associated with the to-be-disabled
+Second, once all tasks have been unpatched, the 'transition' value changes
+to '0'. All the functions (struct klp_func) associated with the to-be-disabled
patch are removed from the corresponding struct klp_ops. The ftrace handler
is unregistered and the struct klp_ops is freed when the func_stack list
becomes empty.
-Patches must be disabled in exactly the reverse order in which they were
-enabled. It makes the problem and the implementation much easier.
+Third, the sysfs interface is destroyed.
+Note that patches must be disabled in exactly the reverse order in which
+they were enabled. It makes the problem and the implementation much easier.
-5.4. Unregistration
--------------------
-Disabled patches might be unregistered by calling klp_unregister_patch().
-This can be done only when the patch is disabled and the code is no longer
-used. It must be called before the livepatch module gets unloaded.
+5.4. Removing
+-------------
-At this stage, all the relevant sys-fs entries are removed and the patch
-is removed from the list of known patches.
+Module removal is only safe when there are no users of functions provided
+by the module. This is the reason why the force feature permanently
+disables the removal. Only when the system is successfully transitioned
+to a new patch state (patched/unpatched) without being forced it is
+guaranteed that no task sleeps or runs in the old code.

2.13.7
The address of the to be patched function and new function is stored
in struct klp_func as:
void *new_func;
unsigned long old_addr;
The different naming scheme and type are derived from the way
the addresses are set. @old_addr is assigned at runtime using
kallsyms-based search. @new_func is statically initialized,
for example:
static struct klp_func funcs[] = {
{
.old_name = "cmdline_proc_show",
.new_func = livepatch_cmdline_proc_show,
}, { }
};
This patch changes unsigned long old_addr -> void *old_func. It removes
some confusion when these address are later used in the code. It is
motivated by a followup patch that adds special NOP struct klp_func
where we want to assign func->new_func = func->old_addr respectively
func->new_func = func->old_func.
This patch does not modify the existing behavior.

2.13.7
module_put() is currently never called in klp_complete_transition() when
klp_force is set. As a result, we might keep the reference count even when
klp_enable_patch() fails and klp_cancel_transition() is called.
This might give the impression that a module might get blocked in some
strange init state. Fortunately, it is not the case. The reference count
is ignored when mod->init fails and erroneous modules are always removed.
Anyway, this might be confusing. Instead, this patch moves
the global klp_forced flag into struct klp_patch. As a result,
we block only modules that might still be in use after a forced
transition. Newly loaded livepatches might be eventually completely
removed later.
It is not a big deal. But the code is at least consistent with
the reality.

Replaced patches are removed from the stack when the transition is
finished. It means that Nop structures will never be needed again
and can be removed. Why should we care?
+ Nop structures give the impression that the function is patched
even though the ftrace handler has no effect.
+ Ftrace handlers do not come for free. They cause slowdown that might
be visible in some workloads. The ftrace-related slowdown might
actually be the reason why the function is no longer patched in
the new cumulative patch. One would expect that cumulative patch
would help solve these problems as well.
+ Cumulative patches are supposed to replace any earlier version of
the patch. The amount of NOPs depends on which version was replaced.
This multiplies the amount of scenarios that might happen.
One might say that NOPs are innocent. But there are even optimized
NOP instructions for different processors, for example, see
arch/x86/kernel/alternative.c. And klp_ftrace_handler() is much
more complicated.
+ It sounds natural to clean up a mess that is no longer needed.
It could only be worse if we do not do it.
This patch allows to unpatch and free the dynamic structures independently
when the transition finishes.
The free part is a bit tricky because kobject free callbacks are called
asynchronously. We could not wait for them easily. Fortunately, we do
not have to. Any further access can be avoided by removing them from
the dynamic lists.

2.13.7
The code for freeing livepatch structures is a bit scattered and tricky:
+ direct calls to klp_free_*_limited() and kobject_put() are
used to release partially initialized objects
+ klp_free_patch() removes the patch from the public list
and releases all objects except for patch->kobj
+ object_put(&patch->kobj) and the related wait_for_completion()
are called directly outside klp_mutex; this code is duplicated;
Now, we are going to remove the registration stage to simplify the API
and the code. This would require handling more situations in
klp_enable_patch() error paths.
More importantly, we are going to add a feature called atomic replace.
It will need to dynamically create func and object structures. We will
want to reuse the existing init() and free() functions. This would
create even more error path scenarios.
This patch implements more straightforward free functions:
+ checks kobj_added flag instead of @limit[*]
+ initializes patch->list early so that the check for empty list
always works
+ The action(s) that has to be done outside klp_mutex are done
in separate klp_free_patch_finish() function. It waits only
when patch->kobj was really released via the _start() part.
The patch does not change the existing behavior.
[*] We need our own flag to track that the kobject was successfully
added to the hierarchy. Note that kobj.state_initialized only
indicates that kobject has been initialized, not whether is has
been added (and needs to be removed on cleanup).

We are going to simplify the API and code by removing the registration
step. This would require calling init/free functions from enable/disable
ones.
This patch just moves the code to prevent more forward declarations.
This patch does not change the code except for two forward declarations.

+===================================
+Atomic Replace & Cumulative Patches
+===================================
+
+There might be dependencies between livepatches. If multiple patches need
+to do different changes to the same function(s) then we need to define
+an order in which the patches will be installed. And function implementations
+from any newer livepatch must be done on top of the older ones.
+
+This might become a maintenance nightmare. Especially if anyone would want
+to remove a patch that is in the middle of the stack.
+
+An elegant solution comes with the feature called "Atomic Replace". It allows
+creation of so called "Cumulative Patches". They include all wanted changes
+from all older livepatches and completely replace them in one transition.
+
+Usage
+-----
+
+The atomic replace can be enabled by setting "replace" flag in struct klp_patch,
+for example:
+
+ static struct klp_patch patch = {
+ .mod = THIS_MODULE,
+ .objs = objs,
+ .replace = true,
+ };
+
+Such a patch is added on top of the livepatch stack when enabled.
+
+All processes are then migrated to use the code only from the new patch.
+Once the transition is finished, all older patches are automatically
+disabled and removed from the stack of patches.
+
+Ftrace handlers are transparently removed from functions that are no
+longer modified by the new cumulative patch.
+
+As a result, the livepatch authors might maintain sources only for one
+cumulative patch. It helps to keep the patch consistent while adding or
+removing various fixes or features.
+
+Users could keep only the last patch installed on the system after
+the transition to has finished. It helps to clearly see what code is
+actually in use. Also the livepatch might then be seen as a "normal"
+module that modifies the kernel behavior. The only difference is that
+it can be updated at runtime without breaking its functionality.
+
+
+Features
+--------
+
+The atomic replace allows:
+
+ + Atomically revert some functions in a previous patch while
+ upgrading other functions.
+
+ + Remove eventual performance impact caused by core redirection
+ for functions that are no longer patched.
+
+ + Decrease user confusion about stacking order and what code
+ is actually in use.
+
+
+Limitations:
+------------
+
+ + Once the operation finishes, there is no straightforward way
+ to reverse it and restore the replaced patches atomically.
+
+ A good practice is to set .replace flag in any released livepatch.
+ Then re-adding an older livepatch is equivalent to downgrading
+ to that patch. This is safe as long as the livepatches do _not_ do
+ extra modifications in (un)patching callbacks or in the module_init()
+ or module_exit() functions, see below.
+
+ Also note that the replaced patch can be removed and loaded again
+ only when the transition was not forced.
+
+
+ + Only the (un)patching callbacks from the _new_ cumulative livepatch are
+ executed. Any callbacks from the replaced patches are ignored.
+
+ In other words, the cumulative patch is responsible for doing any actions
+ that are necessary to properly replace any older patch.
+
+ As a result, it might be dangerous to replace newer cumulative patches by
+ older ones. The old livepatches might not provide the necessary callbacks.
+
+ This might be seen as a limitation in some scenarios. But it makes life
+ easier in many others. Only the new cumulative livepatch knows what
+ fixes/features are added/removed and what special actions are necessary
+ for a smooth transition.
+
+ In any case, it would be a nightmare to think about the order of
+ the various callbacks and their interactions if the callbacks from all
+ enabled patches were called.
+
+
+ + There is no special handling of shadow variables. Livepatch authors
+ must create their own rules how to pass them from one cumulative
+ patch to the other. Especially that they should not blindly remove
+ them in module_exit() functions.
+
+ A good practice might be to remove shadow variables in the post-unpatch
+ callback. It is called only when the livepatch is properly disabled.

5.4. Disabling
--------------
--
2.13.7
The atomic replace and cumulative patches were introduced as a more secure
way to handle dependent patches. They simplify the logic:
+ Any new cumulative patch is supposed to take over shadow variables
and changes made by callbacks from previous livepatches.
+ All replaced patches are discarded and the modules can be unloaded.
As a result, there is only one scenario when a cumulative livepatch
gets disabled.
The different handling of "normal" and cumulative patches might cause
confusion. It would make sense to keep only one mode. On the other hand,
it would be rude to enforce using the cumulative livepatches even for
trivial and independent (hot) fixes.
However, the stack of patches is not really necessary any longer.
The patch ordering was never clearly visible via the sysfs interface.
Also the "normal" patches need a lot of caution anyway.
Note that the list of enabled patches is still necessary but the ordering
is not longer enforced.
Otherwise, the code is ready to disable livepatches in an random order.
Namely, klp_check_stack_func() always looks for the function from
the livepatch that is being disabled. klp_func structures are just
removed from the related func_stack. Finally, the ftrace handlers
is removed only when the func_stack becomes empty.

From: Jason Baron <[email protected]>
Currently klp_patch contains a pointer to a statically allocated array of
struct klp_object and struct klp_objects contains a pointer to a statically
allocated array of klp_func. In order to allow for the dynamic allocation
of objects and functions, link klp_patch, klp_object, and klp_func together
via linked lists. This allows us to more easily allocate new objects and
functions, while having the iterator be a simple linked list walk.
The static structures are added to the lists early. It allows to add
the dynamically allocated objects before klp_init_object() and
klp_init_func() calls. Therefore it reduces the further changes
to the code.
This patch does not change the existing behavior.

2.13.7
From: Jason Baron <[email protected]>
Sometimes we would like to revert a particular fix. Currently, this
is not easy because we want to keep all other fixes active and we
could revert only the last applied patch.
One solution would be to apply new patch that implemented all
the reverted functions like in the original code. It would work
as expected but there will be unnecessary redirections. In addition,
it would also require knowing which functions need to be reverted at
build time.
Another problem is when there are many patches that touch the same
functions. There might be dependencies between patches that are
not enforced on the kernel side. Also it might be pretty hard to
actually prepare the patch and ensure compatibility with the other
patches.
Atomic replace && cumulative patches:
A better solution would be to create cumulative patch and say that
it replaces all older ones.
This patch adds a new "replace" flag to struct klp_patch. When it is
enabled, a set of 'nop' klp_func will be dynamically created for all
functions that are already being patched but that will no longer be
modified by the new patch. They are used as a new target during
the patch transition.
The idea is to handle Nops' structures like the static ones. When
the dynamic structures are allocated, we initialize all values that
are normally statically defined.
The only exception is "new_func" in struct klp_func. It has to point
to the original function and the address is known only when the object
(module) is loaded. Note that we really need to set it. The address is
used, for example, in klp_check_stack_func().
Nevertheless we still need to distinguish the dynamically allocated
structures in some operations. For this, we add "nop" flag into
struct klp_func and "dynamic" flag into struct klp_object. They
need special handling in the following situations:
+ The structures are added into the lists of objects and functions
immediately. In fact, the lists were created for this purpose.
+ The address of the original function is known only when the patched
object (module) is loaded. Therefore it is copied later in
klp_init_object_loaded().
+ The ftrace handler must not set PC to func->new_func. It would cause
infinite loop because the address points back to the beginning of
the original function.
+ The various free() functions must free the structure itself.
Note that other ways to detect the dynamic structures are not considered
safe. For example, even the statically defined struct klp_object might
include empty funcs array. It might be there just to run some callbacks.
Also note that the safe iterator must be used in the free() functions.
Otherwise already freed structures might get accessed.
Special callbacks handling:
The callbacks from the replaced patches are _not_ called by intention.
It would be pretty hard to define a reasonable semantic and implement it.
It might even be counter-productive. The new patch is cumulative. It is
supposed to include most of the changes from older patches. In most cases,
it will not want to call pre_unpatch() post_unpatch() callbacks from
the replaced patches. It would disable/break things for no good reasons.
Also it should be easier to handle various scenarios in a single script
in the new patch than think about interactions caused by running many
scripts from older patches. Not to say that the old scripts even would
not expect to be called in this situation.
Removing replaced patches:
One nice effect of the cumulative patches is that the code from the
older patches is no longer used. Therefore the replaced patches can
be removed. It has several advantages:
+ Nops' structs will no longer be necessary and might be removed.
This would save memory, restore performance (no ftrace handler),
allow clear view on what is really patched.
+ Disabling the patch will cause using the original code everywhere.
Therefore the livepatch callbacks could handle only one scenario.
Note that the complication is already complex enough when the patch
gets enabled. It is currently solved by calling callbacks only from
the new cumulative patch.
+ The state is clean in both the sysfs interface and lsmod. The modules
with the replaced livepatches might even get removed from the system.
Some people actually expected this behavior from the beginning. After all
a cumulative patch is supposed to "completely" replace an existing one.
It is like when a new version of an application replaces an older one.
This patch does the first step. It removes the replaced patches from
the list of patches. It is safe. The consistency model ensures that
they are no longer used. By other words, each process works only with
the structures from klp_transition_patch.
The removal is done by a special function. It combines actions done by
__disable_patch() and klp_complete_transition(). But it is a fast
track without all the transaction-related stuff.

-Test cases
-==========
-
-What follows is not an exhaustive test suite of every possible livepatch
-pre/post-(un)patch combination, but a selection that demonstrates a few
-important concepts. Each test case uses the kernel modules located in
-the samples/livepatch/ and assumes that no livepatches are loaded at the
-beginning of the test.
-
-
-Test 1
-------
-
-Test a combination of loading a kernel module and a livepatch that
-patches a function in the first module. (Un)load the target module
-before the livepatch module:
-
-- load target module
-- load livepatch
-- disable livepatch
-- unload target module
-- unload livepatch
-
-First load a target module:
-
- % insmod samples/livepatch/livepatch-callbacks-mod.ko
- [ 34.475708] livepatch_callbacks_mod: livepatch_callbacks_mod_init
-
-On livepatch enable, before the livepatch transition starts, pre-patch
-callbacks are executed for vmlinux and livepatch_callbacks_mod (those
-klp_objects currently loaded). After klp_objects are patched according
-to the klp_patch, their post-patch callbacks run and the transition
-completes:
-
- % insmod samples/livepatch/livepatch-callbacks-demo.ko
- [ 36.503719] livepatch: enabling patch 'livepatch_callbacks_demo'
- [ 36.504213] livepatch: 'livepatch_callbacks_demo': initializing patching transition
- [ 36.504238] livepatch_callbacks_demo: pre_patch_callback: vmlinux
- [ 36.504721] livepatch_callbacks_demo: pre_patch_callback: livepatch_callbacks_mod -> [MODULE_STATE_LIVE] Normal state
- [ 36.505849] livepatch: 'livepatch_callbacks_demo': starting patching transition
- [ 37.727133] livepatch: 'livepatch_callbacks_demo': completing patching transition

- [ 37.728792] livepatch: 'livepatch_callbacks_demo': patching complete
-
-Similarly, on livepatch disable, pre-patch callbacks run before the
-unpatching transition starts. klp_objects are reverted, post-patch
-callbacks execute and the transition completes:
-
- % echo 0 > /sys/kernel/livepatch/livepatch_callbacks_demo/enabled
- [ 38.510209] livepatch: 'livepatch_callbacks_demo': initializing unpatching transition
- [ 38.510234] livepatch_callbacks_demo: pre_unpatch_callback: vmlinux

- [ 39.711132] livepatch: 'livepatch_callbacks_demo': completing unpatching transition
- [ 39.711210] livepatch_callbacks_demo: post_unpatch_callback: vmlinux
- [ 39.711779] livepatch_callbacks_demo: post_unpatch_callback: livepatch_callbacks_mod -> [MODULE_STATE_LIVE] Normal state

- % rmmod samples/livepatch/livepatch-callbacks-mod.ko
- [ 42.534183] livepatch_callbacks_mod: livepatch_callbacks_mod_exit
-
-
-Test 2
-------
-
-This test is similar to the previous test, but (un)load the livepatch
-module before the target kernel module. This tests the livepatch core's
-module_coming handler:
-
-- load livepatch
-- load target module
-- disable livepatch
-- unload livepatch
-- unload target module
-
-
-On livepatch enable, only pre/post-patch callbacks are executed for
-currently loaded klp_objects, in this case, vmlinux:
-
- % insmod samples/livepatch/livepatch-callbacks-demo.ko
- [ 44.553328] livepatch: enabling patch 'livepatch_callbacks_demo'
- [ 44.553997] livepatch: 'livepatch_callbacks_demo': initializing patching transition
- [ 44.554049] livepatch_callbacks_demo: pre_patch_callback: vmlinux
- [ 44.554845] livepatch: 'livepatch_callbacks_demo': starting patching transition
- [ 45.727128] livepatch: 'livepatch_callbacks_demo': completing patching transition
- [ 45.727212] livepatch_callbacks_demo: post_patch_callback: vmlinux
- [ 45.727961] livepatch: 'livepatch_callbacks_demo': patching complete
-
-When a targeted module is subsequently loaded, only its pre/post-patch
-callbacks are executed:
-
- % insmod samples/livepatch/livepatch-callbacks-mod.ko
- [ 46.560845] livepatch: applying patch 'livepatch_callbacks_demo' to loading module 'livepatch_callbacks_mod'
- [ 46.561988] livepatch_callbacks_demo: pre_patch_callback: livepatch_callbacks_mod -> [MODULE_STATE_COMING] Full formed, running module_init

-------
-
-Test loading the livepatch after a targeted kernel module, then unload

-------
-
-This test is similar to the previous test, however the livepatch is

-
-- load livepatch

-
-A simple test of loading a livepatch without one of its patch target

-Test 6
-------
-
-Test a scenario where a vmlinux pre-patch callback returns a non-zero
-status (ie, failure):
-
-- load target module
-- load livepatch -ENODEV
-- unload target module
-
-First load a target module:
-
- % insmod samples/livepatch/livepatch-callbacks-mod.ko
- [ 80.740520] livepatch_callbacks_mod: livepatch_callbacks_mod_init
-
-Load the livepatch module, setting its 'pre_patch_ret' value to -19
-(-ENODEV). When its vmlinux pre-patch callback executed, this status
-code will propagate back to the module-loading subsystem. The result is
-that the insmod command refuses to load the livepatch module:

-
-Test 7
-------
-
-Similar to the previous test, setup a livepatch such that its vmlinux
-pre-patch callback returns success. However, when a targeted kernel
-module is later loaded, have the livepatch return a failing status code:
-
-- load livepatch
-- setup -ENODEV
-- load target module
-- disable livepatch
-- unload livepatch
-
-Load the livepatch, notice vmlinux pre-patch callback succeeds:
-
- % insmod samples/livepatch/livepatch-callbacks-demo.ko
- [ 86.787845] livepatch: enabling patch 'livepatch_callbacks_demo'
- [ 86.788325] livepatch: 'livepatch_callbacks_demo': initializing patching transition

- [ 87.711143] livepatch_callbacks_demo: post_patch_callback: vmlinux
- [ 87.711886] livepatch: 'livepatch_callbacks_demo': patching complete
-
-Set a trap so subsequent pre-patch callbacks to this livepatch will
-return -ENODEV:
-
- % echo -19 > /sys/module/livepatch_callbacks_demo/parameters/pre_patch_ret
-
-The livepatch pre-patch callback for subsequently loaded target modules
-will return failure, so the module loader refuses to load the kernel
-module. Notice that no post-patch or pre/post-unpatch callbacks are
-executed for this klp_object:
-
- % insmod samples/livepatch/livepatch-callbacks-mod.ko

-------
-

-Test 9
-------
-
-A similar test as the previous one, but force the "busy" kernel module
-to do longer work.
-
-The livepatching core will refuse to patch a task that is currently
-executing a to-be-patched function -- the consistency model stalls the
-current patch transition until this safety-check is met. Test a
-scenario where one of a livepatch's target klp_objects sits on such a
-function for a long time. Meanwhile, load and unload other target
-kernel modules while the livepatch transition is in progress.
-
-- load busy target module (30s sleep)
-- load livepatch
-- load target module
-- unload target module
-- disable livepatch
-- unload livepatch
-- unload busy target module
-
-
-Load the "busy" kernel module, this time make it do 30 seconds worth of
-work:
-
- % insmod samples/livepatch/livepatch-callbacks-busymod.ko sleep_secs=30
- [ 110.993362] livepatch_callbacks_busymod: livepatch_callbacks_mod_init
- [ 110.994059] livepatch_callbacks_busymod: busymod_work_func, sleeping 30 seconds ...
-
-Meanwhile, the livepatch is loaded. Notice that the patch transition
-does not complete as the targeted "busy" module is sitting on a
-to-be-patched function:
-
- % insmod samples/livepatch/livepatch-callbacks-demo.ko
- [ 113.000309] livepatch: enabling patch 'livepatch_callbacks_demo'
- [ 113.000764] livepatch: 'livepatch_callbacks_demo': initializing patching transition
- [ 113.000791] livepatch_callbacks_demo: pre_patch_callback: vmlinux
- [ 113.001289] livepatch_callbacks_demo: pre_patch_callback: livepatch_callbacks_busymod -> [MODULE_STATE_LIVE] Normal state
- [ 113.005208] livepatch: 'livepatch_callbacks_demo': starting patching transition
-
-Load a second target module (this one is an ordinary idle kernel
-module). Note that *no* post-patch callbacks will be executed while the
-livepatch is still in transition:
-
- % insmod samples/livepatch/livepatch-callbacks-mod.ko
- [ 115.012740] livepatch: applying patch 'livepatch_callbacks_demo' to loading module 'livepatch_callbacks_mod'
- [ 115.013406] livepatch_callbacks_demo: pre_patch_callback: livepatch_callbacks_mod -> [MODULE_STATE_COMING] Full formed, running module_init
- [ 115.015315] livepatch_callbacks_mod: livepatch_callbacks_mod_init
-
-Request an unload of the simple kernel module. The patch is still
-transitioning, so its pre-unpatch callbacks are skipped:
-
- % rmmod samples/livepatch/livepatch-callbacks-mod.ko
- [ 117.022626] livepatch_callbacks_mod: livepatch_callbacks_mod_exit
- [ 117.023376] livepatch: reverting patch 'livepatch_callbacks_demo' on unloading module 'livepatch_callbacks_mod'
- [ 117.024533] livepatch_callbacks_demo: post_unpatch_callback: livepatch_callbacks_mod -> [MODULE_STATE_GOING] Going away
-
-Finally the livepatch is disabled. Since none of the patch's
-klp_object's post-patch callbacks executed, the remaining klp_object's
-pre-unpatch callbacks are skipped:
-
- % echo 0 > /sys/kernel/livepatch/livepatch_callbacks_demo/enabled

+====================
+Livepatch Self Tests
+====================
+
+This is a small set of sanity tests for the kernel livepatching.
+
+The test suite loads and unloads several test kernel modules to verify
+livepatch behavior. Debug information is logged to the kernel's message
+buffer and parsed for expected messages. (Note: the tests will clear
+the message buffer between individual tests.)
+
+
+Config
+------
+
+Set these config options and their prerequisites:
+
+CONFIG_LIVEPATCH=y
+CONFIG_TEST_LIVEPATCH=m
+
+
+Running the tests
+-----------------
+
+Test kernel modules are built as part of lib/ (make modules) and need to
+be installed (make modules_install) as the test scripts will modprobe
+them.
+
+To run the livepatch selftests, from the top of the kernel source tree:
+
+ % make -C tools/testing/selftests TARGETS=livepatch run_tests
+
+
+Adding tests
+------------
+
+See the common functions.sh file for the existing collection of utility
+functions, most importantly set_dynamic_debug() and check_result(). The
+latter function greps the kernel's ring buffer for "livepatch:" and
+"test_klp" strings, so tests be sure to include one of those strings for
+result comparison. Other utility functions include general module
+loading and livepatch loading helpers (waiting for patch transitions,
+sysfs entries, etc.)

Petr,
This looks great to me. Thanks for all your patience and hard work!

Hi,
I've now applied this patchset, so please send any further fixups as
incremental on top of for-5.1/atomic-replace.
Thanks to everybody involved (especially Petr) for the patience and all
the invested effort.
