Subject: [PATCH] ARM: module: treat exit sections the same as init sections when !CONFIG_MODULE_UNLOAD
Date:   Fri,  7 May 2021 14:13:22 +0200

Dynamic code patching (alternatives, jump_label and static_call) can
have sites in __exit code, even if __exit is never executed. Therefore
__exit must be present at runtime, at least for as long as __init code is.

Additionally, for jump_label and static_call, the __exit sites must also
identify as within_module_init(), such that the infrastructure is aware
to never touch them after module init -- alternatives are only ran once
at init and hence don't have this particular constraint.

Previously, the module loader never loaded the exit sections in the first
place when CONFIG_MODULE_UNLOAD=n. Commit 33121347fb1c ("module: treat exit
sections the same as init sections when !CONFIG_MODULE_UNLOAD") addressed
the issue by having the module loader load the exit sections and then making
__exit identify as __init for !MODULE_UNLOAD. Then, since they are treated
like init sections, they will be also discarded after init.

That commit satisfied the above requirements for jump_labels and
static_calls by modifying the checks in the core module_init_section()
function in kernel/module.c to include exit sections. However, ARM
overrides these and implements their own module_{init,exit}_section()
functions. Add a similar check for exit sections to ARM's
module_init_section() function so that all arches are on the same page.

Fixes: 33121347fb1c ("module: treat exit sections the same as init
sections when !CONFIG_MODULE_UNLOAD")
