Subject: module loader dead code removal and cleanups v3
Date: Tue,  2 Feb 2021 13:13:21 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210202121334.1361503-1-hch@lst.de> (raw)

Hi all,

this series removes support for long term unused export types and
cleans up various loose ends in the module loader.

Changes since v2:
 - clean up klp_find_object_symbol a bit
 - remove the now unused module_assert_mutex helper 

Changes since v1:
 - move struct symsearch to module.c
 - rework drm to not call find_module at all
 - allow RCU-sched locking for find_module
 - keep find_module as a public API instead of module_loaded
 - update a few comments and commit logs
