Merge tag 'modules-6.0-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mcgrof/linux

Pull module updates from Luis Chamberlain:
 "For the 6.0 merge window the modules code shifts to cleanup and minor
  fixes effort. This becomes much easier to do and review now due to the
  code split to its own directory from effort on the last kernel
  release. I expect to see more of this with time and as we expand on
  test coverage in the future. The cleanups and fixes come from usual
  suspects such as Christophe Leroy and Aaron Tomlin but there are also
  some other contributors.

  One particular minor fix worth mentioning is from Helge Deller, where
  he spotted a *forever* incorrect natural alignment on both ELF section
  header tables:

    * .altinstructions
    * __bug_table sections

  A lot of back and forth went on in trying to determine the ill effects
  of this misalignment being present for years and it has been
  determined there should be no real ill effects unless you have a buggy
  exception handler. Helge actually hit one of these buggy exception
  handlers on parisc which is how he ended up spotting this issue. When
  implemented correctly these paths with incorrect misalignment would
  just mean a performance penalty, but given that we are dealing with
  alternatives on modules and with the __bug_table (where info regardign
  BUG()/WARN() file/line information associated with it is stored) this
  really shouldn't be a big deal.

  The only other change with mentioning is the kmap() with
  kmap_local_page() and my only concern with that was on what is done
  after preemption, but the virtual addresses are restored after
  preemption. This is only used on module decompression.

  This all has sit on linux-next for a while except the kmap stuff which
  has been there for 3 weeks"
