Pull module updates from Sami Tolvanen:
 "Kernel symbol flags:

   - Replace the separate *_gpl symbol sections (__ksymtab_gpl and
     __kcrctab_gpl) with a unified symbol table and a new __kflagstab
     section.

     This section stores symbol flags, such as the GPL-only flag, as an
     8-bit bitset for each exported symbol. This is a cleanup that
     simplifies symbol lookup in the module loader by avoiding table
     fragmentation and will allow a cleaner way to add more flags later
     if needed.

  Module signature UAPI:

   - Move struct module_signature to the UAPI headers to allow reuse by
     tools outside the kernel proper, such as kmod and
     scripts/sign-file.

     This also renames a few constants for clarity and drops unused
     signature types as preparation for hash-based module integrity
     checking work that's in progress.

  Sysfs:

   - Add a /sys/module/<module>/import_ns sysfs attribute to show the
     symbol namespaces imported by loaded modules.

     This makes it easier to verify driver API access at runtime on
     systems that care about such things (e.g. Android).

  Cleanups and fixes:

   - Force sh_addr to 0 for all sections in module.lds. This prevents
     non-zero section addresses when linking modules with 'ld.bfd -r',
     which confused elfutils.

   - Fix a memory leak of charp module parameters on module unload when
     the kernel is configured with CONFIG_SYSFS=n.

   - Override the -EEXIST error code returned by module_init() to
     userspace. This prevents confusion with the errno reserved by the
     module loader to indicate that a module is already loaded.

   - Simplify the warning message and drop the stack dump on positive
     returns from module_init().

   - Drop unnecessary extern keywords from function declarations and
     synchronize parse_args() arguments with their implementation"

Read kflagstab section for vmlinux and modules to determine whether
kernel symbols are GPL only.

This patch eliminates the need for fragmenting the ksymtab for infering
the value of GPL-only symbol flag, henceforth stop populating *_gpl
versions of the ksymtab and kcrctab in modpost.

This patch adds the ability to create entries for kernel symbol flag
bitsets in kflagstab. Modpost populates only the GPL-only flag for now.

A recent strengthening of -Wunused-but-set-variable (enabled with -Wall)
in clang under a new subwarning, -Wunused-but-set-global, points out an
unused static global variable in scripts/mod/modpost.c:

  scripts/mod/modpost.c:59:13: error: variable 'extra_warn' set but not used [-Werror,-Wunused-but-set-global]
     59 | static bool extra_warn;
        |             ^

This variable has been unused since commit 6c6c1fc09de3 ("modpost:
require a MODULE_DESCRIPTION()") but that is expected, as there are
currently no extra warnings at W=1 right now. Declare the variable with
the unused attribute to make it clear to the compiler that this variable
may be unused.

mcb bus is not prepared to autoload client drivers with the data defined on
the drivers' MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE. modpost cannot access to mcb_table_id
inside MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE so the data declared inside is ignored.

Add modpost build support for accessing to the mcb_table_id coded on device
drivers' MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE.

Several symbol patterns used to be whitelisted to allow drivers to refer
to functions annotated with __devinit and __devexit, which have since
been removed.

Commit e1dc1bfe5b27 ("modpost: remove more symbol patterns from the
section check whitelist") removed most of these patterns but left
'*_probe' after a reported warning in an irqchip driver.

Turns out that was indeed an incorrect reference which has now been
fixed by commit 9b685058ca93 ("irqchip/qcom-irq-combiner: Fix section
mismatch").

A recently added clocksource driver also relies on this suffix to
suppress another valid warning, and that is being fixed separately. [1]

Note that drivers with valid reasons for suppressing the warnings can
use the __ref macros.

Instead of manually annotating each __ex_table entry, just make the
section mergeable and store the entry size in the ELF section header.

Either way works for objtool create_fake_symbols(), this way produces
cleaner code generation.

In preparation for klp-build livepatch module creation tooling,
suppress warnings for unresolved references to linker-generated
__start_* and __stop_* section bounds symbols.

These symbols are expected to be undefined when modpost runs, as they're
created later by the linker.
