Merge tag 'modules-for-v5.12' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jeyu/linux

Pull module updates from Jessica Yu:

 - Retire EXPORT_UNUSED_SYMBOL() and EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL_FUTURE(). These
   export types were introduced between 2006 - 2008. All the of the
   unused symbols have been long removed and gpl future symbols were
   converted to gpl quite a long time ago, and I don't believe these
   export types have been used ever since. So, I think it should be safe
   to retire those export types now (Christoph Hellwig)

 - Refactor and clean up some aged code cruft in the module loader
   (Christoph Hellwig)

 - Build {,module_}kallsyms_on_each_symbol only when livepatching is
   enabled, as it is the only caller (Christoph Hellwig)

 - Unexport find_module() and module_mutex and fix the last module
   callers to not rely on these anymore. Make module_mutex internal to
   the module loader (Christoph Hellwig)

 - Harden ELF checks on module load and validate ELF structures before
   checking the module signature (Frank van der Linden)

 - Fix undefined symbol warning for clang (Fangrui Song)

 - Fix smatch warning (Dan Carpenter)
