Merge tag 'modules-7.1-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/modules/linux

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"
