Merge tag 'modules-7.1-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/modules/linuxPull module updates from Sami Tolvanen: "Kernel symbol flags: - Replace the separate *_gpl symbol sections (__ksymtab_gpl and __kcrctab_gpl) with a unified symbol table and a new __kflagstab section. This section stores symbol flags, such as the GPL-only flag, as an 8-bit bitset for each exported symbol. This is a cleanup that simplifies symbol lookup in the module loader by avoiding table fragmentation and will allow a cleaner way to add more flags later if needed. Module signature UAPI: - Move struct module_signature to the UAPI headers to allow reuse by tools outside the kernel proper, such as kmod and scripts/sign-file. This also renames a few constants for clarity and drops unused signature types as preparation for hash-based module integrity checking work that's in progress. Sysfs: - Add a /sys/module//import_ns sysfs attribute to show the symbol namespaces imported by loaded modules. This makes it easier to verify driver API access at runtime on systems that care about such things (e.g. Android). Cleanups and fixes: - Force sh_addr to 0 for all sections in module.lds. This prevents non-zero section addresses when linking modules with 'ld.bfd -r', which confused elfutils. - Fix a memory leak of charp module parameters on module unload when the kernel is configured with CONFIG_SYSFS=n. - Override the -EEXIST error code returned by module_init() to userspace. This prevents confusion with the errno reserved by the module loader to indicate that a module is already loaded. - Simplify the warning message and drop the stack dump on positive returns from module_init(). - Drop unnecessary extern keywords from function declarations and synchronize parse_args() arguments with their implementation"* tag 'modules-7.1-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/modules/linux: (23 commits) module: Simplify warning on positive returns from module_init() module: Override -EEXIST module return documentation: remove references to *_gpl sections module: remove *_gpl sections from vmlinux and modules module: deprecate usage of *_gpl sections in module loader module: use kflagstab instead of *_gpl sections module: populate kflagstab in modpost module: add kflagstab section to vmlinux and modules module: define ksym_flags enumeration to represent kernel symbol flags selftests/bpf: verify_pkcs7_sig: Use 'struct module_signature' from the UAPI headers sign-file: use 'struct module_signature' from the UAPI headers tools uapi headers: add linux/module_signature.h module: Move 'struct module_signature' to UAPI module: Give MODULE_SIG_STRING a more descriptive name module: Give 'enum pkey_id_type' a more specific name module: Drop unused signature types extract-cert: drop unused definition of PKEY_ID_PKCS7 docs: symbol-namespaces: mention sysfs attribute module: expose imported namespaces via sysfs module: Remove extern keyword from param prototypes ...

3fe1dcbc2d20c5dbc581c0bb458e05365bfffcf7 - module: expose imported namespaces via sysfs

Sat, 07 Mar 2026 10:00:09 +0100

module: expose imported namespaces via sysfsAdd /sys/module/*/import_ns to expose imported namespaces forcurrently loaded modules. The file contains one namespace per line andonly exists for modules that import at least one namespace.Previously, the only way for userspace to inspect the symbolnamespaces a module imports is to locate the .ko on disk and invokemodinfo(8) to decompress/parse the metadata. The kernel validatednamespaces at load time, but it was otherwise discarded.Exposing this data via sysfs provides a runtime mechanism to verifywhich namespaces are being used by modules. For example, this allowsuserspace to audit driver API access in Android GKI, which uses symbolnamespaces to restrict vendor drivers from using specific kernelinterfaces (e.g., direct filesystem access).Signed-off-by: Nicholas Sielicki [Sami: Updated the commit message to explain motivation.]Signed-off-by: Sami Tolvanen List of files: /linux/Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-module

Wed, 03 Dec 2025 20:34:28 +0100

Merge tag 'docs-6.19' of git://git.lwn.net/linuxPull documentation updates from Jonathan Corbet: "This has been another busy cycle for documentation, with a lot of build-system thrashing. That work should slow down from here on out. - The various scripts and tools for documentation were spread out in several directories; now they are (almost) all coalesced under tools/docs/. The holdout is the kernel-doc script, which cannot be easily moved without some further thought. - As the amount of Python code increases, we are accumulating modules that are imported by multiple programs. These modules have been pulled together under tools/lib/python/ -- at least, for documentation-related programs. There is other Python code in the tree that might eventually want to move toward this organization. - The Perl kernel-doc.pl script has been removed. It is no longer used by default, and nobody has missed it, least of all anybody who actually had to look at it. - The docs build was controlled by a complex mess of makefilese that few dared to touch. Mauro has moved that logic into a new program (tools/docs/sphinx-build-wrapper) that, with any luck at all, will be far easier to understand and maintain. - The get_feat.pl program, used to access information under Documentation/features/, has been rewritten in Python, bringing an end to the use of Perl in the docs subsystem. - The top-level README file has been reorganized into a more reader-friendly presentation. - A lot of Chinese translation additions - Typo fixes and documentation updates as usual"* tag 'docs-6.19' of git://git.lwn.net/linux: (164 commits) docs: makefile: move rustdoc check to the build wrapper README: restructure with role-based documentation and guidelines docs: kdoc: various fixes for grammar, spelling, punctuation docs: kdoc_parser: use '@' for Excess enum value docs: submitting-patches: Clarify that removal of Acks needs explanation too docs: kdoc_parser: add data/function attributes to ignore docs: MAINTAINERS: update Mauro's files/paths docs/zh_CN: Add wd719x.rst translation docs/zh_CN: Add libsas.rst translation get_feat.pl: remove it, as it got replaced by get_feat.py Documentation/sphinx/kernel_feat.py: use class directly tools/docs/get_feat.py: convert get_feat.pl to Python Documentation/admin-guide: fix typo and comment in cscope example docs/zh_CN: Add data-integrity.rst translation docs/zh_CN: Add blk-mq.rst translation docs/zh_CN: Add block/index.rst translation docs/zh_CN: Update the Chinese translation of kbuild.rst docs: bring some order to our Python module hierarchy docs: Move the python libraries to tools/lib/python Documentation/kernel-parameters: Move the kernel build options ...
