Subject: module: verify address is read-only
Patch series "provide check for ro_after_init memory sections", v5.
Provide a mechanism for other functions to verify that their arguments are
read-only.
This implements the first half of a suggestion made by Kees Cook for the
Kernel Self Protection Project:
- provide mechanism to check for ro_after_init memory areas, and
reject structures not marked ro_after_init in vmbus_register()
http://www.openwall.com/lists/kernel-hardening/2017/02/04/1
The idea is to prevent structures (including modules) that are not
read-only from being passed to functions. It builds upon the functions in
kernel/extable.c that test if an address is in the text section.
A build failure on the Blackfin architecture led to the discovery of an
incomplete definition of the RO_DATA macro used in this series. The fixes
are in linux-next:
commit 906f2a51c941 ("mm: fix section name for .data..ro_after_init")
commit 939897e2d736 ("vmlinux.lds: add missing VMLINUX_SYMBOL macros")
This patch (of 2):
Implement a mechanism to check if a module's address is in the rodata or
ro_after_init sections. It mimics the existing functions that test if an
address is inside a module's text section.
Functions that take a module as an argument will be able to verify that
the module address is in a read-only section. The idea is to prevent
structures (including modules) that are not read-only from being passed to
functions.
This implements the first half of a suggestion made by Kees Cook for the
Kernel Self Protection Project:
- provide mechanism to check for ro_after_init memory areas, and
reject structures not marked ro_after_init in vmbus_register()
