module.lds.S: Fix modules on 32-bit parisc architecture
On the 32-bit parisc architecture, we always used the -ffunction-sections compiler option to tell the compiler to put the functions into seperate text sections. This is necessary, otherwise "big" kernel modules like ext4 or ipv6 fail to load because some branches won't be able to reach their stubs.
Commit 1ba9f8979426 ("vmlinux.lds: Unify TEXT_MAIN, DATA_MAIN, and related macros") broke this for parisc because all text sections will get unconditionally merged now.
Introduce the ARCH_WANTS_MODULES_TEXT_SECTIONS config option which avoids the text section merge for modules, and fix this issue by enabling this option by default for 32-bit parisc.

Merge tag 'modules-7.1-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/modules/linux
Pull module updates from Sami Tolvanen: "Kernel symbol flags:
- Replace the separate *_gpl symbol sections (__ksymtab_gpl and __kcrctab_gpl) with a unified symbol table and a new __kflagstab section.
This section stores symbol flags, such as the GPL-only flag, as an 8-bit bitset for each exported symbol. This is a cleanup that simplifies symbol lookup in the module loader by avoiding table fragmentation and will allow a cleaner way to add more flags later if needed.
Module signature UAPI:
- Move struct module_signature to the UAPI headers to allow reuse by tools outside the kernel proper, such as kmod and scripts/sign-file.
This also renames a few constants for clarity and drops unused signature types as preparation for hash-based module integrity checking work that's in progress.
Sysfs:
- Add a /sys/module/<module>/import_ns sysfs attribute to show the symbol namespaces imported by loaded modules.
This makes it easier to verify driver API access at runtime on systems that care about such things (e.g. Android).
Cleanups and fixes:
- Force sh_addr to 0 for all sections in module.lds. This prevents non-zero section addresses when linking modules with 'ld.bfd -r', which confused elfutils.
- Fix a memory leak of charp module parameters on module unload when the kernel is configured with CONFIG_SYSFS=n.
- Override the -EEXIST error code returned by module_init() to userspace. This prevents confusion with the errno reserved by the module loader to indicate that a module is already loaded.
- Simplify the warning message and drop the stack dump on positive returns from module_init().
- Drop unnecessary extern keywords from function declarations and synchronize parse_args() arguments with their implementation"

module: add kflagstab section to vmlinux and modules
This patch introduces a __kflagstab section to store symbol flags in a dedicated data structure, similar to how CRCs are handled in the __kcrctab
module: add kflagstab section to vmlinux and modules
This patch introduces a __kflagstab section to store symbol flags in a dedicated data structure, similar to how CRCs are handled in the __kcrctab.
The flags for a given symbol in __kflagstab will be located at the same index as the symbol's entry in __ksymtab and its CRC in __kcrctab. This design decouples the flags from the symbol table itself, allowing us to maintain a single, sorted __ksymtab. As a result, the symbol search remains an efficient, single lookup, regardless of the number of flags we add in the future.
The motivation for this change comes from the Android kernel, which uses an additional symbol flag to restrict the use of certain exported symbols by unsigned modules, thereby enhancing kernel security. This __kflagstab can be implemented as a bitmap to efficiently manage which symbols are available for general use versus those restricted to signed modules only.
This section will contain read-only data for values of kernel symbol flags in the form of an 8-bit bitsets for each kernel symbol. Each bit in the bitset represents a flag value defined by ksym_flags enumeration.
Petr Pavlu ran a small test to get a better understanding of the different section sizes resulting from this patch series. He used v6.17-rc6 together with the openSUSE x86_64 config [1], which is fairly large. The resulting vmlinux.bin (no debuginfo) had an on-disk size of 58 MiB, and included 5937 + 6589 (GPL-only) exported symbols.
The following table summarizes his measurements and calculations regarding the sizes of all sections related to exported symbols:
| HAVE_ARCH_PREL32_RELOCATIONS | !HAVE_ARCH_PREL32_RELOCATIONS Section | Base [B] | Ext. [B] | Sep. [B] | Base [B] | Ext. [B] | Sep. [B] ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- __ksymtab | 71244 | 200416 | 150312 | 142488 | 400832 | 300624 __ksymtab_gpl | 79068 | NA | NA | 158136 | NA | NA __kcrctab | 23748 | 50104 | 50104 | 23748 | 50104 | 50104 __kcrctab_gpl | 26356 | NA | NA | 26356 | NA | NA __ksymtab_strings | 253628 | 253628 | 253628 | 253628 | 253628 | 253628 __kflagstab | NA | NA | 12526 | NA | NA | 12526 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total | 454044 | 504148 | 466570 | 604356 | 704564 | 616882 Increase to base [%] | NA | 11.0 | 2.8 | NA | 16.6 | 2.1
The column "HAVE_ARCH_PREL32_RELOCATIONS -> Base" contains the measured numbers. The rest of the values are calculated. The "Ext." column represents an alternative approach of extending __ksymtab to include a bitset of symbol flags, and the "Sep." column represents the approach of having a separate __kflagstab. With HAVE_ARCH_PREL32_RELOCATIONS, each kernel_symbol is 12 B in size and is extended to 16 B. With !HAVE_ARCH_PREL32_RELOCATIONS, it is 24 B, extended to 32 B. Note that this does not include the metadata needed to relocate __ksymtab*, which is freed after the initial processing.
Adding __kflagstab as a separate section has a negligible impact, as expected. When extending __ksymtab (kernel_symbol) instead, the worst case with !HAVE_ARCH_PREL32_RELOCATIONS increases the export data size by 16.6%. Note that the larger increase in size for the latter approach is due to 4-byte alignment of kernel_symbol data structure, instead of 1-byte alignment for the flags bitset in __kflagstab in the former approach.
Based on the above, it was concluded that introducing __kflagstab makes sense, as the added complexity is minimal over extending kernel_symbol, and there is overall simplification of symbol finding logic in the module loader.

module.lds,codetag: force 0 sh_addr for sections
Commit 1ba9f8979426 ("vmlinux.lds: Unify TEXT_MAIN, DATA_MAIN, and related macros") added .text and made .data, .bss, and .rodata sections unconditional in the module linker script, but without an explicit address like the other sections in the same file.
When linking modules with ld.bfd -r, sections defined without an address inherit the location counter, resulting in non-zero sh_addr values in the .ko. Relocatable objects are expected to have sh_addr=0 for these sections and these non-zero addresses confuse elfutils and have been reported to cause segmentation faults in SystemTap [1].
Add the 0 address specifier to all sections in module.lds, including the .codetag.* sections via MOD_SEPARATE_CODETAG_SECTIONS macro.

livepatch: Fix having __klp_objects relics in non-livepatch modules
The linker script scripts/module.lds.S specifies that all input __klp_objects sections should be consolidated into an output section of the same name, and start/stop symbols should be created to enable scripts/livepatch/init.c to locate this data.
This start/stop pattern is not ideal for modules because the symbols are created even if no __klp_objects input sections are present. Consequently, a dummy __klp_objects section also appears in the resulting module. This unnecessarily pollutes non-livepatch modules.
Instead, since modules are relocatable files, the usual method for locating consolidated data in a module is to read its section table. This approach avoids the aforementioned problem.
The klp_modinfo already stores a copy of the entire section table with the final addresses. Introduce a helper function that scripts/livepatch/init.c can call to obtain the location of the __klp_objects section from this data.

Pull objtool updates from Ingo Molnar:
- klp-build livepatch module generation (Josh Poimboeuf)
Introduce new objtool features and a klp-build script to generate livepatch modules using a source .patch as input.
This builds on concepts from the longstanding out-of-tree kpatch project which began in 2012 and has been used for many years to generate livepatch modules for production kernels. However, this is a complete rewrite which incorporates hard-earned lessons from 12+ years of maintaining kpatch.
Key improvements compared to kpatch-build:
- Integrated with objtool: Leverages objtool's existing control-flow graph analysis to help detect changed functions.
- Works on vmlinux.o: Supports late-linked objects, making it compatible with LTO, IBT, and similar.
- Simplified code base: ~3k fewer lines of code.
- Upstream: No more out-of-tree #ifdef hacks, far less cruft.
- Cleaner internals: Vastly simplified logic for symbol/section/reloc inclusion and special section extraction.
- Robust __LINE__ macro handling: Avoids false positive binary diffs caused by the __LINE__ macro by introducing a fix-patch-lines script which injects #line directives into the source .patch to preserve the original line numbers at compile time.
- Disassemble code with libopcodes instead of running objdump (Alexandre Chartre)
- Disassemble support (-d option to objtool) by Alexandre Chartre, which supports the decoding of various Linux kernel code generation specials such as alternatives:
