module: Add module name to modinfo
Accessing the mod structure (e.g. for mod->name) prior to having completed check_modstruct_version() can result in writing garbage to the error logs if the layout of the mod structure loaded from disk doesn't match the running kernel's mod structure layout. This kind of mismatch will become much more likely if a kernel is built with different randomization seed for the struct layout randomization plugin. Instead, add and use a new modinfo string for logging the module name. Signed-off-by: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org> Signed-off-by: Jessica Yu <jeyu@redhat.com>
