Merge tag 'modules-for-v5.13' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jeyu/linux

Pull module updates from Jessica Yu:
 "Fix an age old bug involving jump_calls and static_labels when
  CONFIG_MODULE_UNLOAD=n.

  When CONFIG_MODULE_UNLOAD=n, it means you can't unload modules, so
  normally the __exit sections of a module are not loaded at all.
  However, dynamic code patching (jump_label, static_call, alternatives)
  can have sites in __exit sections even if __exit is never executed.

  Reported by Peter Zijlstra:
     'Alternatives, jump_labels and static_call all can have relocations
      into __exit code. Not loading it at all would be BAD.'

  Therefore, load the __exit sections even when CONFIG_MODULE_UNLOAD=n,
  and discard them after init"
