Merge tag 'modules-for-v5.13' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jeyu/linux
Pull module updates from Jessica Yu:
"Fix an age old bug involving jump_calls and static_labels when
CONFIG_MODULE_UNLOAD=n.
When CONFIG_MODULE_UNLOAD=n, it means you can't unload modules, so
normally the __exit sections of a module are not loaded at all.
However, dynamic code patching (jump_label, static_call, alternatives)
can have sites in __exit sections even if __exit is never executed.
Reported by Peter Zijlstra:
'Alternatives, jump_labels and static_call all can have relocations
into __exit code. Not loading it at all would be BAD.'
Therefore, load the __exit sections even when CONFIG_MODULE_UNLOAD=n,
and discard them after init"

module: treat exit sections the same as init sections when !CONFIG_MODULE_UNLOAD
