module: treat exit sections the same as init sections when !CONFIG_MO…
…DULE_UNLOAD Dynamic code patching (alternatives, jump_label and static_call) can have sites in __exit code, even it __exit is never executed. Therefore __exit must be present at runtime, at least for as long as __init code is. Additionally, for jump_label and static_call, the __exit sites must also identify as within_module_init(), such that the infrastructure is aware to never touch them after module init -- alternatives are only ran once at init and hence don't have this particular constraint. By making __exit identify as __init for MODULE_UNLOAD, the above is satisfied. So, when !CONFIG_MODULE_UNLOAD, the section ordering should look like the following, with the .exit sections moved to the init region of the module. Core section allocation order: .text .rodata __ksymtab_gpl __ksymtab_strings .note.* sections .bss .data .gnu.linkonce.this_module Init section allocation order: .init.text .exit.text .symtab .strtab [jeyu: thanks to Peter Zijlstra for most of changelog] Link: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/YFiuphGw0RKehWsQ@gunter/ Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/[email protected] Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Jessica Yu <[email protected]>
