Merge tag 'modules-6.13-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/modules/linux
Pull modules updates from Luis Chamberlain:
- The whole caching of module code into huge pages by Mike Rapoport is
going in through Andrew Morton's tree due to some other code
dependencies. That's really the biggest highlight for Linux kernel
modules in this release. With it we share huge pages for modules,
starting off with x86. Expect to see that soon through Andrew!
- Helge Deller addressed some lingering low hanging fruit alignment
enhancements by. It is worth pointing out that from his old patch
series I dropped his vmlinux.lds.h change at Masahiro's request as he
would prefer this to be specified in asm code [0].

- Matthew Maurer and Sami Tolvanen have been tag teaming to help get us
closer to a modversions for Rust. In this cycle we take in quite a
lot of the refactoring for ELF validation. I expect modversions for
Rust will be merged by v6.14 as that code is mostly ready now.
- Adds a new modules selftests: kallsyms which helps us tests
find_symbol() and the limits of kallsyms on Linux today.
- We have a realtime mailing list to kernel-ci testing for modules now
which relies and combines patchwork, kpd and kdevops:
https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-modules/list/
https://github.com/linux-kdevops/kdevops/blob/main/docs/kernel-ci/README.md
https://github.com/linux-kdevops/kdevops/blob/main/docs/kernel-ci/kernel-ci-kpd.md
https://github.com/linux-kdevops/kdevops/blob/main/docs/kernel-ci/linux-modules-kdevops-ci.md
If you want to help avoid Linux kernel modules regressions, now its
simple, just add a new Linux modules sefltests under
tools/testing/selftests/module/ That is it. All new selftests will be
used and leveraged automatically by the CI.
