From 0c05e7bd2d017a3a9a0f4e9a19ad4acf1f616f12 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Song Liu Date: Wed, 25 Jan 2023 10:54:01 -0800 Subject: livepatch,x86: Clear relocation targets on a module removal Josh reported a bug: When the object to be patched is a module, and that module is rmmod'ed and reloaded, it fails to load with: module: x86/modules: Skipping invalid relocation target, existing value is nonzero for type 2, loc 00000000ba0302e9, val ffffffffa03e293c livepatch: failed to initialize patch 'livepatch_nfsd' for module 'nfsd' (-8) livepatch: patch 'livepatch_nfsd' failed for module 'nfsd', refusing to load module 'nfsd' The livepatch module has a relocation which references a symbol in the _previous_ loading of nfsd. When apply_relocate_add() tries to replace the old relocation with a new one, it sees that the previous one is nonzero and it errors out. He also proposed three different solutions. We could remove the error check in apply_relocate_add() introduced by commit eda9cec4c9a1 ("x86/module: Detect and skip invalid relocations"). However the check is useful for detecting corrupted modules. We could also deny the patched modules to be removed. If it proved to be a major drawback for users, we could still implement a different approach. The solution would also complicate the existing code a lot. We thus decided to reverse the relocation patching (clear all relocation targets on x86_64). The solution is not universal and is too much arch-specific, but it may prove to be simpler in the end.
