Merge tag 'modules-6.0-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/ker…
…nel/git/mcgrof/linux Pull module updates from Luis Chamberlain: "For the 6.0 merge window the modules code shifts to cleanup and minor fixes effort. This becomes much easier to do and review now due to the code split to its own directory from effort on the last kernel release. I expect to see more of this with time and as we expand on test coverage in the future. The cleanups and fixes come from usual suspects such as Christophe Leroy and Aaron Tomlin but there are also some other contributors. One particular minor fix worth mentioning is from Helge Deller, where he spotted a *forever* incorrect natural alignment on both ELF section header tables: * .altinstructions * __bug_table sections A lot of back and forth went on in trying to determine the ill effects of this misalignment being present for years and it has been determined there should be no real ill effects unless you have a buggy exception handler. Helge actually hit one of these buggy exception handlers on parisc which is how he ended up spotting this issue. When implemented correctly these paths with incorrect misalignment would just mean a performance penalty, but given that we are dealing with alternatives on modules and with the __bug_table (where info regardign BUG()/WARN() file/line information associated with it is stored) this really shouldn't be a big deal. The only other change with mentioning is the kmap() with kmap_local_page() and my only concern with that was on what is done after preemption, but the virtual addresses are restored after preemption. This is only used on module decompression. This all has sit on linux-next for a while except the kmap stuff which has been there for 3 weeks" * tag 'modules-6.0-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mcgrof/linux: module: Replace kmap() with kmap_local_page() module: Show the last unloaded module's taint flag(s) module: Use strscpy() for last_unloaded_module module: Modify module_flags() to accept show_state argument module: Move module's Kconfig items in kernel/module/ MAINTAINERS: Update file list for module maintainers module: Use vzalloc() instead of vmalloc()/memset(0) modules: Ensure natural alignment for .altinstructions and __bug_table sections module: Increase readability of module_kallsyms_lookup_name() module: Fix ERRORs reported by checkpatch.pl module: Add support for default value for module async_probe
