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]. [0] https://lore.kernel.org/all/20240129192644.3359978-5-mcgrof@kernel.org/T/#m9efef5e700fbecd28b7afb462c15eed8ba78ef5a - 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. * tag 'modules-6.13-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/modules/linux: tests/module/gen_test_kallsyms.sh: use 0 value for variables scripts: Remove export_report.pl selftests: kallsyms: add MODULE_DESCRIPTION selftests: add new kallsyms selftests module: Reformat struct for code style module: Additional validation in elf_validity_cache_strtab module: Factor out elf_validity_cache_strtab module: Group section index calculations together module: Factor out elf_validity_cache_index_str module: Factor out elf_validity_cache_index_sym module: Factor out elf_validity_cache_index_mod module: Factor out elf_validity_cache_index_info module: Factor out elf_validity_cache_secstrings module: Factor out elf_validity_cache_sechdrs module: Factor out elf_validity_ehdr module: Take const arg in validate_section_offset modules: Add missing entry for __ex_table modules: Ensure 64-bit alignment on __ksymtab_* sections
