Series KASLR feature to randomize each loadable module | expand

Commit Message

Edgecombe, Rick P Nov. 10, 2018, 1:38 a.m. UTC
This adds a test module in lib/, and a script in kselftest that does
benchmarking on the allocation of memory in the module space. Performance here
would have some small impact on kernel module insertions, BPF JIT insertions
and kprobes. In the case of KASLR features for the module space, this module
can be used to measure the allocation performance of different configurations.
This module needs to be compiled into the kernel because module_alloc is not
exported.

With some modification to the code, as explained in the comments, it can be
enabled to measure TLB flushes as well.

There are two tests in the module. One allocates until failure in order to
test module capacity and the other times allocating space in the module area.
They both use module sizes that roughly approximate the distribution of in-tree
X86_64 modules.

You can control the number of modules used in the tests like this:
echo m1000>/dev/mod_alloc_test

Run the test for module capacity like:
echo t1>/dev/mod_alloc_test

The other test will measure the allocation time, and for CONFG_X86_64 and
CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_BASE, also give data on how often the “backup area" is used.

Run the test for allocation time and backup area usage like:
echo t2>/dev/mod_alloc_test
The output will be something like this:
num		all(ns)		last(ns)
1000		1083		1099
Last module in backup count = 0
Total modules in backup     = 0
>1 module in backup count   = 0

To run a suite of allocation time tests for a collection of module numbers you can run:
tools/testing/selftests/bpf/test_mod_alloc.sh

+ *
+ * Then write to the file:
+ *      /sys/kernel/debug/mod_alloc_test
+ *
+ * There are two tests:
+ *  Test 1: Allocate until failure
+ *  Test 2: Run 1000 iterations of a test the simulates loading modules with

+ *
+ * Configure the number (ex:1000) of modules to use per test in the tests:
+ *      echo m1000 > /sys/kernel/debug/mod_alloc_test
+ *
+ * To run test (ex: Test 2):
+ *      echo t2 > /sys/kernel/debug/mod_alloc_test

+ * For test 1 it will print the results of each test. For test 2 it will print
