[PATCH v2 2/2] livepatch: add shadow variable sample programs

From: Joe Lawrence
Date: Wed Jun 28 2017 - 11:38:22 EST


Add sample livepatch modules to demonstrate the shadow variable API.

Signed-off-by: Joe Lawrence <joe.lawrence@xxxxxxxxxx>

Reviewers -- it's probably easier to grok reading livepatch-shadow-mod.c
*before* the two livepatch modules, livepatch-shadow-fix1.c
and livepatch-shadow-fix2.c.

+ * Fix the memory leak
+ * -------------------
+ *
+ * One way to fix this memory leak is to attach a shadow variable
+ * pointer to each dummy structure at its allocation point. This
+ * use-case demonstrates a livepatch/shadow variable fix for short-lived
+ * data structures.
+ *
+ * In this example, existing dummy structures will unfortunately
+ * continue to leak memory, however once all of the dummies that were
+ * allocated before the live patch are retired, the memory leak will be
+ * closed.
+ *
+ * Load the livepatch fix1:
+ * $ insmod samples/livepatch/livepatch-shadow-fix1.ko
+ *
+ * T1 alloc thread wakes up and now calls a patched dummy_alloc() which
+ * saves the extra memory into a shadow variable:

+ *
+ * T2 cleanup thread calls a patched dummy_free() routine which retrives
+ * the shadow variable that saved the memory pointer.
+ *
+ * Note: Initially, memory will still be leaked as no shadow variables
+ * are found for dummy structures already created:

+ * Extend functionality
+ * --------------------
+ *
+ * Shadow variables can also be attached to in-flight dummy structures.
+ * In the second livepatch, use a shadow variable counter to keep track
+ * of the number of times a given dummy structure is inspected for
+ * expiration.
+ *
+ * Load the livepatch fix2 (on top of fix1):

+ * [ 592.307458] livepatch: 'livepatch_shadow_fix2': patching...
+ *
+ * T2 cleanup thread calls a patched dummy_check(), which keeps a shadow
+ * variable counter of the number times it inspects a given dummy
+ * structure. The final count is reported by a patched dummy_free().
+ *
+ * Note: initially the final count will be 1, as soon-to-expire dummies
+ * will only have had a shadow variable counter for a single pass
+ * through the alloc - check - cleanup cycle. Overtime, newer dummies
+ * will have increased count values:
