[PATCH v9 00/14] module: core code clean up

[Aaron Tomlin <atomlin@redhat.com>]

Hi Luis,

As per your suggestion [1], this is an attempt to refactor and split
optional code out of core module support code into separate components.
This version is based on Linus' commit 7993e65fdd0f ("Merge tag
'mtd/fixes-for-5.17-rc5' of
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mtd/linux").

Petr,

I decided to use preempt_disable() instead to remain consistent with the
rest of the file. Unfortunately, I did not make time to boot test etc.

Changes since v8 [2]

 - Resolved the reported lockdep warnings in kernel/module/kallsyms.c
   (Petr Mladek)

Changes since v7 [3]

 - Removed redundant ifdef CONFIG_MODULES and endif pairing from
   kernel/module/Makefile

Changes since v6 [4]

 - Moved KCOV_INSTRUMENT_module.o out of kernel/Makefile into
   kernel/module/Makefile (Christophe Leroy)
 - Moved kernel/module/signature.c back into kernel/
   (Christophe Leroy)
 - Fixed Oops in add_kallsyms() due to an invalid pointer assignment
   (Christophe Leroy)

Changes since v5 [5]:

 - Updated MAINTAINERS to include the entire kernel/module/ directory
   (Christophe Leroy)
 - Reintroduce commit a97ac8cb24a3 ("module: fix signature check failures
   when using in-kernel decompression") (Michal Suchánek)
 - Refactored code to address some (i.e.
   --ignore=MULTIPLE_ASSIGNMENTS,ASSIGN_IN_IF was used) style violations
   e.g. "Alignment should match open parenthesis", reported by
   scripts/checkpatch.pl --strict (Christophe Leroy)
 - Used PAGE_ALIGN() and PAGE_ALIGNED() instead (Christophe Leroy)
 - Removed sig_enforce from include/linux/module.h as it is only
   used in kernel/module/signing.c (Christophe Leroy)
 - Added static keyword for anything not used outside a source file
   (Christophe Leroy)
 - Moved mod_sysfs_teardown() to kernel/module/sysfs.c (Christophe Leroy)
 - Removed kdb_modules from kernel/debug/kdb/kdb_private.h
   (Christophe Leroy)

Changes since v4 [6]:

 - Moved is_livepatch_module() and set_livepatch_module() to
   kernel/module/livepatch.c
 - Addressed minor compiler warning concerning
   kernel/module/internal.h (0-day)
 - Resolved style violations reported by scripts/checkpatch.pl
 - Dropped patch 5 [7] so external patch [8] can be applied at
   a later date post merge into module-next (Christophe Leroy)

Changes since v3 [9]:

 - Refactored both is_livepatch_module() and set_livepatch_module(),
   respectively, to use IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_LIVEPATCH) (Joe Perches)
 - Addressed various compiler warnings e.g., no previous prototype (0-day)

Changes since v2 [10]:

 - Moved module decompress support to a separate file
 - Made check_modinfo_livepatch() generic (Petr Mladek)
 - Removed filename from each newly created file (Luis Chamberlain)
 - Addressed some (i.e. --ignore=ASSIGN_IN_IF,AVOID_BUG was used)
   minor scripts/checkpatch.pl concerns e.g., use strscpy over
   strlcpy and missing a blank line after declarations (Allen)

Changes since v1 [11]:

  - Moved module version support code into a new file
