Merge tag 'modules-for-v5.9' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jeyu/linux
Pull module updates from Jessica Yu: "The most important change would be Christoph Hellwig's patch implementing proprietary taint inheritance, in an effort to discourage the creation of GPL "shim" modules that interface between GPL symbols and proprietary symbols. Summary: - Have modules that use symbols from proprietary modules inherit the TAINT_PROPRIETARY_MODULE taint, in an effort to prevent GPL shim modules that are used to circumvent _GPL exports. These are modules that claim to be GPL licensed while also using symbols from proprietary modules. Such modules will be rejected while non-GPL modules will inherit the proprietary taint. - Module export space cleanup. Unexport symbols that are unused outside of module.c or otherwise used in only built-in code" * tag 'modules-for-v5.9' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jeyu/linux: modules: inherit TAINT_PROPRIETARY_MODULE modules: return licensing information from find_symbol modules: rename the licence field in struct symsearch to license modules: unexport __module_address modules: unexport __module_text_address modules: mark each_symbol_section static modules: mark find_symbol static modules: mark ref_module static modules: linux/moduleparam.h: drop duplicated word in a comment
