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"
