layout_and_allocate() does everything up to and including the final
struct module placement inside the allocated module memory. We have
to store the symbol layout information in our struct load_info though.
This avoids the nasty code we had before where 'mod' pointed first
to the version inside the temporary allocation containing the entire
file, then later was moved to point to the real struct module: now
the main code only ever sees the final module address.

Andrew had the sole pleasure of tickling this bug in linux-next; when we set
up "info->strtab" it's pointing into the temporary copy of the module. For
most uses that is fine, but kallsyms keeps a pointer around during module
load (inside mod->strtab).
If we oops for some reason inside a module's init function, kallsyms will use
the mod->strtab pointer into the now-freed temporary module copy.
(Later oopses work fine: after init we overwrite mod->strtab to point to a
compacted core-only strtab).

Btw, here's a patch that _looks_ large, but it really pretty trivial, and
sets things up so that it would be way easier to split off pieces of the
module loading.
The reason it looks large is that it creates a "module_info" structure
that contains all the module state that we're building up while loading,
instead of having individual variables for all the indices etc.
So the patch ends up being large, because every "symindex" access instead
becomes "info.index.sym" etc. That may be a few characters longer, but it
then means that we can just pass a pointer to that "info" structure
around. and let all the pieces fill it in very naturally.
As an example of that, the patch also moves the initialization of all
those convenience variables into a "setup_module_info()" function. And at
this point it really does become very natural to start to peel off some of
the error labels and move them into the helper functions - now the
"truncated" case is gone, and is handled inside that setup function
instead.
So maybe you don't like this approach, and it does make the variable
accesses a bit longer, but I don't think unreadably so. And the patch
really does look big and scary, but there really should be absolutely no
semantic changes - most of it was a trivial and mindless rename.
In fact, it was so mindless that I on purpose kept the existing helper
functions looking like this:
- err = check_modinfo(mod, sechdrs, infoindex, versindex);
+ err = check_modinfo(mod, info.sechdrs, info.index.info, info.index.vers);
rather than changing them to just take the "info" pointer. IOW, a second
phase (if you think the approach is ok) would change that calling
convention to just do
err = check_modinfo(mod, &info);
(and same for "layout_sections()", "layout_symtabs()" etc.) Similarly,
while right now it makes things _look_ bigger, with things like this:
versindex = find_sec(hdr, sechdrs, secstrings, "__versions");
becoming
info->index.vers = find_sec(info->hdr, info->sechdrs, info->secstrings, "__versions");
in the new "setup_module_info()" function, that's again just a result of
it being a search-and-replace patch. By using the 'info' pointer, we could
just change the 'find_sec()' interface so that it ends up being
info->index.vers = find_sec(info, "__versions");
instead, and then we'd actually have a shorter and more readable line. So
for a lot of those mindless variable name expansions there's would be room
for separate cleanups.
I didn't move quite everything in there - if we do this to layout_symtabs,
for example, we'd want to move the percpu, symoffs, stroffs, *strmap
variables to be fields in that module_info structure too. But that's a
much smaller patch, I moved just the really core stuff that is currently
being set up and used in various parts.
But even in this rough form, it removes close to 70 lines from that
function (but adds 22 lines overall, of course - the structure definition,
the helper function declarations and call-sites etc etc).

And now that I'm looking at that call-chain (to see if it would make sense
to use some other more specific lock - doesn't look like it: all the
readers are using RCU and this is the only writer), I also give you this
trivial one-liner. It changes each_symbol() to not put that constant array
on the stack, resulting in changing
movq $C.388.31095, %rsi #, tmp85
subq $376, %rsp #,
movq %rdi, %rbx # fn, fn
leaq -208(%rbp), %rdi #, tmp84
movq %rbx, %rdx # fn,
rep movsl
xorl %esi, %esi #
leaq -208(%rbp), %rdi #, tmp87
movq %r12, %rcx # data,
call each_symbol_in_section.clone.0 #
into
xorl %esi, %esi #
subq $216, %rsp #,
movq %rdi, %rbx # fn, fn
movq $arr.31078, %rdi #,
call each_symbol_in_section.clone.0 #
which is not so much about being obviously shorter and simpler because we
don't unnecessarily copy that constant array around onto the stack, but
also about having a much smaller stack footprint (376 vs 216 bytes - see
the update of 'rsp').

Here's a second one. It's slightly less trivial - since we now have error

bd_prepare_to_claim() incorrectly allowed multiple attempts for
exclusive open to progress in parallel if the attempting holders are
identical. This triggered BUG_ON() as reported in the following bug.
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16393
__bd_abort_claiming() is used to finish claiming blocks and doesn't
work if multiple openers are inside a claiming block. Allowing
multiple parallel open attempts to continue doesn't gain anything as
those are serialized down in the call chain anyway. Fix it by always
allowing only single open attempt in a claiming block.
This problem can easily be reproduced by adding a delay after
bd_prepare_to_claim() and attempting to mount two partitions of a
disk.
