[RFT PATCH v3] modversions: redefine kcrctab entries as relative CRC pointers
Ard Biesheuvel

Sat Jan 21 05:15:03 AEDT 2017
The modversion symbol CRCs are emitted as ELF symbols, which allows us to
easily populate the kcrctab sections by relying on the linker to associate
each kcrctab slot with the correct value.
This has a couple of downsides:
- On architectures that support runtime relocation, a R_<arch>_RELATIVE
relocation entry is emitted for each CRC value, which identifies it as
a quantity that requires fixing up based on the actual runtime load
offset of the kernel. This results in corrupted CRCs unless we
explicitly undo the fixup (and this is currently being handled in the
core module code),
- On 64 bit architectures, such runtime relocation entries take up 24
bytes of __init space each, resulting in a x8 overhead in [uncompressed]
kernel size for CRCs,
- The use of ELF symbols to represent other things than virtual addresses
is poorly supported (and mostly untested) in GNU binutils.
So avoid these issues by redefining the kcrctab entries as signed relative
offsets pointing to the actual CRC value stored elsewhere in the kernel
image (or in the module). This removes all the ELF hackery involving
symbols and relocations, at the expense of 4 additional bytes of space per
CRC on 32-bit architectures. (On 64-bit architectures, each 8 byte CRC
symbol reference is replaced by a 4 byte relative offset and the 4 byte
CRC value elsewhere in the image)
Note that this mostly reverts commit d4703aefdbc8 ("module: handle ppc64
relocating kcrctabs when CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y")

v3: emit CRCs into .rodata rather than .rodata.modver, given that the latter
will be emitted with read-write permissions, making the CRCs end up in a
writable module segment. (The vmlinux linker
fold the modpost fix to ensure that the section address is only substracted
from the symbol address when the ELF object in question is fully linked
(i.e., ET_DYN or ET_EXEC, and not ET_REL)
v2: update modpost as well, so that genksyms no longer has to emit symbols
for both the actual CRC value and the reference to where it is stored
in the image
