.plt and .text.ftrace_tramplines are buggered.
arch/arm64/kernel/module.lds even marks then as NOLOAD.
Hmm... Shouldn't the code at module_enforce_rwx_sections() or at
load_module() ignore such sections instead of just rejecting probing
all modules?
I mean, if the existing toolchain is not capable of excluding
those sections, either the STRICT_MODULE_RWX hardening should be
disabled, if a broken toolchain is detected or some runtime code
should handle such sections on a different way.
Hi Mauro, thanks for providing the readelf output. The sections marked 'WAX'
are indeed the reason why the module loader is rejecting them.
Interesting, my cross-compiled modules do not have the executable flag -
[38] .plt NOBITS 0000000000000340 00038fc0
0000000000000001 0000000000000000 WA 0 0 1
[39] .init.plt NOBITS 0000000000000341 00038fc0
0000000000000001 0000000000000000 WA 0 0 1
[40] .text.ftrace_tram NOBITS 0000000000000342 00038fc0

I'm a bit confused about what NOLOAD actually implies in this context. From the
ld documentation - "The `(NOLOAD)' directive will mark a section to not be
loaded at run time." But these sections are marked SHF_ALLOC and are referenced
to in the module plt code. Or does it just tell the linker to not initialize it?
Adding Ard to CC, I'm sure he'd know more about the section flag specifics.
