R MAINTAINERS/xsplice: Add myself and Ross as the maintainers. *Are there any TODOs left from v5,v6,v7,v8.1 reviews?* None. *What is xSplice?* A mechanism to binarily patch the running hypervisor with new opcodes that have come about due to primarily security updates. *What will this patchset do once I've it* Patch the hypervisor. *Why are you emailing me?* Please please review as many patches as possible. *OK, what do you have?* They are located at a git tree: git://xenbits.xen.org/people/konradwilk/xen.git xsplice.v9 (Copying from Ross's email): Much of the work is implementing a basic version of the Linux kernel module loader. The code: * Loading of xSplice ELF payloads. * Copying allocated sections into a new executable region of memory. * Resolving symbols. * Applying relocations. * Patching of altinstructions. * Special handling of bug frames and exception tables. * Unloading of xSplice ELF payloads. * Compiling a sample xSplice ELF payload * Resolving symbols * Using build-id dependencies * Support for shadow variable framework * Support for executing ELF payload functions on load/unload. The other main bit of this work is applying and reverting the patches safely. As implemented, the code is patched with each CPU waiting in the return-to-guest path (i.e. with no stack) or on the cpu-idle path which appears to be the safest way of patching. While it is safe we should still (in the next wave of patches) to verify to not patch cetain critical sections (say the code doing the patching) All of the following should work: * Applying patches safely. * Reverting patches safely. * Replacing patches safely (e.g. reverting any applied patches and applying a new patch). * Bug frames as part of modules. This means adding or changing WARN, ASSERT, BUG, and run_in_exception_handler works correctly. Line number only changes _are ignored_. * Exception tables as part of modules. E.g. wrmsr_safe and copy_to_user work correctly when used in a patch module. * Stacking of patches on top of each other * Resolving symbols (even of patches) *Limitations* The above is enough to fully implement an update system where multiple source patches are combined (using combinediff) and built into a single binary which then atomically replaces any existing loaded patches (this is why Ross added a REPLACE operation). This is the approach used by kPatch and kGraft. Multiple completely independent patches can also be loaded but unexpected interactions may occur. As it stands, the patches are statically linked which means that independent patches cannot be linked against one another (e.g. if one introduces a new symbol). Using the combinediff approach above fixes this. Backtraces containing functions from a patch module do not show the symbol name. There is no checking that a patch which is loaded is built for the correct hypervisor (need to use build-id). Binary patching works at the function level. *Testing* You can use the example code included in this patchset: # xl info | grep extra xen_extra : -unstable # xen-xsplice load /usr/lib/debug/xen_hello_world.xsplice Uploading /usr/lib/debug/xen_hello_world.xsplice (2071 bytes) Performing check: completed Performing apply:. completed # xl info | grep extra xen_extra : Hello World # xen-xsplice revert xen_hello_world Performing revert:. completed # xen-xsplice unload xen_hello_world Performing unload: completed # xl info | grep extra xen_extra : -unstable Or you can use git://xenbits.xen.org/people/konradwilk/xsplice-build-tools.git which generates the ELF payloads.
