Linus observed that the symbol_request(utf8_data_table) call fails when
CONFIG_UNICODE=y and CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS=y.
symbol_get() relies on the symbol data being present in the ksymtab for
symbol lookups. However, EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(utf8_data_table) is dropped
due to CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS, as no module references it in this case.
Probably, this has been broken since commit dbacb0ef670d ("kconfig option
for TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS").
This commit addresses the issue by leveraging modpost. Symbol names
passed to symbol_get() are recorded in the special .no_trim_symbol
section, which is then parsed by modpost to forcibly keep such symbols.
The .no_trim_symbol section is discarded by the linker scripts, so there
is no impact on the size of the final vmlinux or modules.
This commit cannot resolve the issue for direct calls to __symbol_get()
because the symbol name is not known at compile-time.
Although symbol_get() may eventually be deprecated, this workaround
should be good enough meanwhile.

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].

- 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:

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.

When a module gets unloaded there is a possibility that some of the
allocations it made are still used and therefore the allocation tags
corresponding to these allocations are still referenced. As such, the
memory for these tags can't be freed. This is currently handled as an
abnormal situation and module's data section is not being unloaded. To
handle this situation without keeping module's data in memory, allow
codetags with longer lifespan than the module to be loaded into their own
separate memory. The in-use memory areas and gaps after module unloading
in this separate memory are tracked using maple trees. Allocation tags
arrange their separate memory so that it is virtually contiguous and that
will allow simple allocation tag indexing later on in this patchset. The
size of this virtually contiguous memory is set to store up to 100000
allocation tags.

On 64-bit architectures without CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_PREL32_RELOCATIONS
(e.g. ppc64, ppc64le, parisc, s390x,...) the __KSYM_REF() macro stores
64-bit pointers into the __ksymtab* sections.
Make sure that those sections will be correctly aligned at module link time,
otherwise unaligned memory accesses may happen at runtime.

Introduce CONFIG_MEM_ALLOC_PROFILING which provides definitions to easily
instrument memory allocators. It registers an "alloc_tags" codetag type
with /proc/allocinfo interface to output allocation tag information when
the feature is enabled.
CONFIG_MEM_ALLOC_PROFILING_DEBUG is provided for debugging the memory
allocation profiling instrumentation.
Memory allocation profiling can be enabled or disabled at runtime using
/proc/sys/vm/mem_profiling sysctl when CONFIG_MEM_ALLOC_PROFILING_DEBUG=n.
CONFIG_MEM_ALLOC_PROFILING_ENABLED_BY_DEFAULT enables memory allocation
profiling by default.

Enable asynchronous unwind table generation for both the core kernel as
well as modules, and emit the resulting .eh_frame sections as init code
so we can use the unwind directives for code patching at boot or module
load time.
This will be used by dynamic shadow call stack support, which will rely
on code patching rather than compiler codegen to emit the shadow call
stack push and pop instructions.

In the kernel image vmlinux.lds.S linker scripts the .altinstructions
and __bug_table sections are 4- or 8-byte aligned because they hold 32-
and/or 64-bit values.
Most architectures use altinstructions and BUG() or WARN() in modules as
well, but in the module linker script (module.lds.S) those sections are
currently missing. As consequence the linker will store their content
byte-aligned by default, which then can lead to unnecessary unaligned
memory accesses by the CPU when those tables are processed at runtime.
Usually unaligned memory accesses are unnoticed, because either the
hardware (as on x86 CPUs) or in-kernel exception handlers (e.g. on
parisc or sparc) emulate and fix them up at runtime. Nevertheless, such
unaligned accesses introduce a performance penalty and can even crash
the kernel if there is a bug in the unalignment exception handlers
(which happened once to me on the parisc architecture and which is why I
noticed that issue at all).
This patch fixes a non-critical issue and might be backported at any time.
It's trivial and shouldn't introduce any regression because it simply
tells the linker to use a different (8-byte alignment) for those
sections by default.

The constructor code for modules must be aware of init code inside
different sections.
Newer GCC compilers write constructors in more than one section,
e.g. ".ctors.65435". These must be combined into a single
".ctors" section. In the module loader, only the ".ctors" section
is searched and the constructors therein are initialized, when
CONFIG_CONSTRUCTORS=y is set. Other constructors are ignored.
This change combines all ".ctors.*" and the ".ctors" section, if any,
in <module>.ko into a single ."ctors" section.
For code coverage in GCC, this is necessary to show the
code coverage for modules, since code coverage uses such
constructors when initializing a module in newer version of GCC.

CONFIG_CFI_CLANG_SHADOW assumes the __cfi_check() function is page
aligned and at the beginning of the .text section. While Clang would
normally align the function correctly, it fails to do so for modules
with no executable code.
This change ensures the correct __cfi_check() location and
alignment. It also discards the .eh_frame section, which Clang can
generate with certain sanitizers, such as CFI.

Merge module sections only when using Clang LTO. With ld.bfd, merging
sections does not appear to update the symbol tables for the module,
e.g. 'readelf -s' shows the value that a symbol would have had, if
sections were not merged. ld.lld does not show this problem.
The stale symbol table breaks gdb's function disassembler, and presumably
other things, e.g.
gdb -batch -ex "file arch/x86/kvm/kvm.ko" -ex "disassemble kvm_init"
reads the wrong bytes and dumps garbage.

EXPORT_UNUSED_SYMBOL* is not actually used anywhere. Remove the
unused functionality as we generally just remove unused code anyway.

As far as I can tell this has never been used at all, and certainly
not any time recently.

LLD always splits sections with LTO, which increases module sizes. This
change adds linker script rules to merge the split sections in the final
module.

There was a request to preprocess the module linker script like we
do for the vmlinux one. (https://lkml.org/lkml/2020/8/21/512)
The difference between vmlinux.lds and module.lds is that the latter
is needed for external module builds, thus must be cleaned up by
'make mrproper' instead of 'make clean'. Also, it must be created
by 'make modules_prepare'.
You cannot put it in arch/$(SRCARCH)/kernel/, which is cleaned up by
'make clean'. I moved arch/$(SRCARCH)/kernel/module.lds to
arch/$(SRCARCH)/include/asm/module.lds.h, which is included from
scripts/module.lds.S.
scripts/module.lds is fine because 'make clean' keeps all the
build artifacts under scripts/.
You can add arch-specific sections in <asm/module.lds.h>.
