tests/module: nix-ify
7ae75c7 
Use "#!/usr/bin/env bash" instead of "#!/bin/bash". This is necessary
for nix environments as they only provide /usr/bin/env at the standard
location.

module: Begin to move from RCU-sched to RCU.
4ac0446 
The RCU usage in module was introduced in commit d72b375 ("Remove
stop_machine during module load v2") and it claimed not to be RCU but
similar. Then there was another improvement in commit e91defa
("module: don't use stop_machine on module load"). It become a mix of
RCU and RCU-sched and was eventually fixed 0be964b ("module:
Sanitize RCU usage and locking"). Later RCU & RCU-sched was merged in
commit cb2f553 ("modules: Replace synchronize_sched() and
call_rcu_sched()") so that was aligned.

Looking at it today, there is still leftovers. The preempt_disable() was
used instead rcu_read_lock_sched(). The RCU & RCU-sched merge was not
complete as there is still rcu_dereference_sched() for module::kallsyms.

The RCU-list modules and unloaded_tainted_modules are always accessed
under RCU protection or the module_mutex. The modules list iteration can
always happen safely because the module will not disappear.
Once the module is removed (free_module()) then after removing the
module from the list, there is a synchronize_rcu() which waits until
every RCU reader left the section. That means iterating over the list
within a RCU-read section is enough, there is no need to disable
preemption. module::kallsyms is first assigned in add_kallsyms() before
the module is added to the list. At this point, it points to init data.
This pointer is later updated and before the init code is removed there
is also synchronize_rcu() in do_free_init(). That means A RCU read lock
is enough for protection and rcu_dereference() can be safely used.

Convert module code and its users step by step. Update comments and
convert print_modules() to use RCU.

@petrpavlu
module: Use proper RCU assignment in add_kallsyms().
58f0364 
add_kallsyms() assigns the RCU pointer module::kallsyms and setups the
structures behind it which point to init-data. The module was not
published yet, nothing can see the kallsyms pointer and the data behind
it. Also module's init function was not yet invoked.
There is no need to use rcu_dereference() here, it is just to keep
checkers quiet. The whole RCU read section is also not needed.

Use a local kallsyms pointer and setup the data structures. Assign that
pointer to the data structure at the end via rcu_assign_pointer().

module: Use RCU in search_module_extables().
f32fd85 
search_module_extables() returns an exception_table_entry belonging to a
module. The lookup via __module_address() can be performed with RCU
protection.
The returned exception_table_entry remains valid because the passed
address usually belongs to a module that is currently executed. So the
module can not be removed because "something else" holds a reference to
it, ensuring that it can not be removed.
Exceptions here are:
- kprobe, acquires a reference on the module beforehand
- MCE, invokes the function from within a timer and the RCU lifetime
  guarantees (of the timer) are sufficient.

Therefore it is safe to return the exception_table_entry outside the RCU
section which provided the module.

Use RCU for the lookup in search_module_extables() and update the
comment.

The _notrace() variant was introduced in commit 14c4c8e ("cfi: Use

__cfi_slowpath_diag() could end up calling itself is no longer present,
as all that logic is gone since commit 8924560 ("cfi: Switch to
-fsanitize=kcfi").
Sami Tolvanen said that KCFI checks don't perform function calls.

Elliot Berman verified it with
| modprobe -a dummy_stm stm_ftrace stm_p_basic
| mkdir -p /sys/kernel/config/stp-policy/dummy_stm.0.my-policy/default

static_call: Use RCU in all users of __module_text_address().
f480f04 
__module_text_address() can be invoked within a RCU section, there is no
requirement to have preemption disabled.

Replace the preempt_disable() section around __module_text_address()
with RCU.

bug: Use RCU instead RCU-sched to protect module_bug_list.
3a2ef09 
The list module_bug_list relies on module_mutex for writer
synchronisation. The list is already RCU style.
The list removal is synchronized with modules' synchronize_rcu() in
free_module().

Use RCU read lock protection instead of RCU-sched.

params: Annotate struct module_param_attrs with __counted_by()
afa9286 
Add the __counted_by compiler attribute to the flexible array member
attrs to improve access bounds-checking via CONFIG_UBSAN_BOUNDS and
CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE.

Increment num before adding a new param_attribute to the attrs array and
adjust the array index accordingly. Increment num immediately after the
first reallocation such that the reallocation for the NULL terminator
only needs to add 1 (instead of 2) to mk->mp->num.

Use struct_size() instead of manually calculating the size for the
reallocation.

Use krealloc_array() for the additional NULL terminator.

kbuild: exclude .rodata.(cst|str)* when building ranges
7b8af94 
The .rodata.(cst|str)* sections are often resized during the final
linking and since these sections do not cover actual symbols there is
no need to include them in the modules.builtin.ranges data.

When these sections were included in processing and resizing occurred,
modules were reported with ranges that extended beyond their true end,
causing subsequent symbols (in address order) to be associated with
the wrong module.
