livepatch: introduce shadow variable API
Add exported API for livepatch modules: klp_shadow_get() klp_shadow_alloc() klp_shadow_get_or_alloc() klp_shadow_free() klp_shadow_free_all() that implement "shadow" variables, which allow callers to associate new shadow fields to existing data structures. This is intended to be used by livepatch modules seeking to emulate additions to data structure definitions. See Documentation/livepatch/shadow-vars.txt for a summary of the new shadow variable API, including a few common use cases. See samples/livepatch/livepatch-shadow-* for example modules that demonstrate shadow variables.

19 * livepatch-shadow-mod.c - Shadow variables, buggy module demo
20 *
21 * Purpose
22 * -------
23 *
24 * As a demonstration of livepatch shadow variable API, this module
25 * introduces memory leak behavior that livepatch modules
26 * livepatch-shadow-fix1.ko and livepatch-shadow-fix2.ko correct and
27 * enhance.
28 *
29 * WARNING - even though the livepatch-shadow-fix modules patch the
30 * memory leak, please load these modules at your own risk -- some
31 * amount of memory may leaked before the bug is patched.
32 *
33 *
34 * Usage
35 * -----
36 *
37 * Step 1 - Load the buggy demonstration module:
38 *
39 * insmod samples/livepatch/livepatch-shadow-mod.ko
40 *
41 * Watch dmesg output for a few moments to see new dummy being allocated
42 * and a periodic cleanup check. (Note: a small amount of memory is
43 * being leaked.)
44 *
45 *
46 * Step 2 - Load livepatch fix1:
47 *
48 * insmod samples/livepatch/livepatch-shadow-fix1.ko
49 *
50 * Continue watching dmesg and note that now livepatch_fix1_dummy_free()
51 * and livepatch_fix1_dummy_alloc() are logging messages about leaked
52 * memory and eventually leaks prevented.
53 *
54 *
55 * Step 3 - Load livepatch fix2 (on top of fix1):
56 *
57 * insmod samples/livepatch/livepatch-shadow-fix2.ko
58 *
59 * This module extends functionality through shadow variables, as a new
60 * "check" counter is added to the dummy structure. Periodic dmesg
61 * messages will log these as dummies are cleaned up.
62 *
63 *
64 * Step 4 - Cleanup
65 *
66 * Unwind the demonstration by disabling the livepatch fix modules, then
67 * removing them and the demo module:
68 *
69 * echo 0 > /sys/kernel/livepatch/livepatch_shadow_fix2/enabled
70 * echo 0 > /sys/kernel/livepatch/livepatch_shadow_fix1/enabled
71 * rmmod livepatch-shadow-fix2
72 * rmmod livepatch-shadow-fix1
73 * rmmod livepatch-shadow-mod
