linux-toradex.git/kernel/module/procfs.c, branch v6.0-rc1 Linux kernel for Apalis and Colibri modules module: Modify module_flags() to accept show_state argument 2022-07-15T00:40:23+00:00 Aaron Tomlin atomlin@redhat.com 2022-07-14T15:39:31+00:00 17dd25c29cda98c370f8d5a4ae3daee33fac1669 No functional change. With this patch a given module's state information (i.e. 'mod->state') can be omitted from the specified buffer. Please note that this is in preparation to include the last unloaded module's taint flag(s), if available.

module: Add CONFIG_ARCH_WANTS_MODULES_DATA_IN_VMALLOC 2022-04-05T15:43:05+00:00 Christophe Leroy christophe.leroy@csgroup.eu 2022-02-23T12:02:14+00:00 01dc0386efb769056257410ba5754558384006a7 Add CONFIG_ARCH_WANTS_MODULES_DATA_IN_VMALLOC to allow architectures to request having modules data in vmalloc area instead of module area. This is required on powerpc book3s/32 in order to set data non executable, because it is not possible to set executability on page basis, this is done per 256 Mbytes segments. The module area has exec right, vmalloc area has noexec. This can also be useful on other powerpc/32 in order to maximize the chance of code being close enough to kernel core to avoid branch trampolines.
