Merge tag 'modules-7.0-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/modules/linux
Pull module updates from Sami Tolvanen: "Module signing: - Remove SHA-1 support for signing modules. SHA-1 is no longer considered secure for signatures due to vulnerabilities that can lead to hash collisions. None of the major distributions use SHA-1 anymore, and the kernel has defaulted to SHA-512 since v6.11. Note that loading SHA-1 signed modules is still supported. - Update scripts/sign-file to use only the OpenSSL CMS API for signing. As SHA-1 support is gone, we can drop the legacy PKCS#7 API which was limited to SHA-1. This also cleans up support for legacy OpenSSL versions. Cleanups and fixes: - Use system_dfl_wq instead of the per-cpu system_wq following the ongoing workqueue API refactoring. - Avoid open-coded kvrealloc() in module decompression logic by using the standard helper. - Improve section annotations by replacing the custom __modinit with __init_or_module and removing several unused __INIT*_OR_MODULE macros. - Fix kernel-doc warnings in include/linux/moduleparam.h. - Ensure set_module_sig_enforced is only declared when module signing is enabled. - Fix gendwarfksyms build failures on 32-bit hosts. MAINTAINERS: - Update the module subsystem entry to reflect the maintainer rotation and update the git repository link" * tag 'modules-7.0-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/modules/linux: modules: moduleparam.h: fix kernel-doc comments module: Only declare set_module_sig_enforced when CONFIG_MODULE_SIG=y module/decompress: Avoid open-coded kvrealloc() gendwarfksyms: Fix build on 32-bit hosts sign-file: Use only the OpenSSL CMS API for signing module: Remove SHA-1 support for module signing module: replace use of system_wq with system_dfl_wq params: Replace __modinit with __init_or_module module: Remove unused __INIT*_OR_MODULE macros MAINTAINERS: Update module subsystem maintainers and repository
