2022-04-05	module: Add CONFIG_ARCH_WANTS_MODULES_DATA_IN_VMALLOC	Christophe Leroy	1	-2/+8
	Add CONFIG_ARCH_WANTS_MODULES_DATA_IN_VMALLOC to allow architectures to request having modules data in vmalloc area instead of module area. This is required on powerpc book3s/32 in order to set data non executable, because it is not possible to set executability on page basis, this is done per 256 Mbytes segments. The module area has exec right, vmalloc area has noexec. This can also be useful on other powerpc/32 in order to maximize the chance of code being close enough to kernel core to avoid branch trampolines.

2022-04-05	module: Move kdb module related code out of main kdb code	Aaron Tomlin	1	-0/+56
	No functional change. This patch migrates the kdb 'lsmod' command support out of main kdb code into its own file under kernel/module. In addition to the above, a minor style warning i.e. missing a blank line after declarations, was resolved too. The new file was added to MAINTAINERS. Finally we remove linux/module.h as it is entirely redundant.
