Commit Message

Currently the livepatch logic inside of Xen will use fields of struct
livepatch_func in order to cache internal state of patched functions.  Note
this is a field that is part of the payload, and is loaded as an ELF section
(.livepatch.funcs), taking into account the SHF_* flags in the section
header.

The flags for the .livepatch.funcs section, as set by livepatch-build-tools,
are SHF_ALLOC, which leads to its contents (the array of livepatch_func
structures) being placed in read-only memory:

Section Headers:
  [Nr] Name              Type             Address           Offset
       Size              EntSize          Flags  Link  Info  Align
[...]
  [ 4] .livepatch.funcs  PROGBITS         0000000000000000  00000080
       0000000000000068  0000000000000000   A       0     0     8

This previously went unnoticed, as all writes to the fields of livepatch_func
happen in the critical region that had WP disabled in CR0.  After 8676092a0f16
however WP is no longer toggled in CR0 for patch application, and only the
hypervisor .text mappings are made write-accessible.  That leads to the
following page fault when attempting to apply a livepatch:

----[ Xen-4.19-unstable  x86_64  debug=y  Tainted:   C    ]----
CPU:    4
RIP:    e008:[<ffff82d040221e81>] common/livepatch.c#apply_payload+0x45/0x1e1

 L2[0x003] = 000000086a1e7063 ffffffffffffffff
 L1[0x025] = 800000086ca5d121 ffffffffffffffff

Panic on CPU 4:

****************************************

Fix this by moving the internal Xen function patching state out of
livepatch_func into an area not allocated as part of the ELF payload.  While
there also constify the array of livepatch_func structures in order to prevent
further surprises.

Note there's still one field (old_addr) that gets set during livepatch load.  I
consider this fine since the field is read-only after load, and at the point
the field gets set the underlying mapping hasn't been made read-only yet.

Changes since v1:
 - Rename opaque state field to insn_buffer.
