Modules changes for v6.1-rc1
There's only two pathes queued up for v6.1 for modules, these have been grinding on linux-next for at least 4 weeks now: * David Disseldorp's minor enhancement for sysfs compression string * Aaron Tomlin's debugfs interface to view unloaded tainted modules But there are other changes queued up for testing for the next merge window already. One change being still discussed, and *not* yet even close to testing on linux-next, but worth mentioning to put on your radar is the generalization of the bpf prog_pack thing. The idea with that is to generalize the iTLB gains seen with using huge pages on eBPF to other text uses on the kernel (modules, ftrace, kprobes). Song Liu is doing a good job following up on that difficult task as the semantics for the special permissions are crap, and it really hasn't been easy to put all this together. The latest effort can be read on his vmalloc_exec() patch series [0]. Aaron will have a fix posted soon for the debugfs interface for unloaded modules, when that comes I'll just bounce that to you as it should be merged.
