Pull networking updates from Paolo Abeni:
 "Core:

   - Allow live renaming when an interface is up

   - Add retpoline wrappers for tc, improving considerably the
     performances of complex queue discipline configurations

<title>module: remove redundant module_sysfs_initialized variable</title>

<content type='text'>
The variable module_sysfs_initialized is used for checking whether
module_kset has been initialized. Checking module_kset itself works
just fine for that.

This is a leftover from commit 7405c1e15edf ("kset: convert /sys/module
to use kset_create").

Making module_kallsyms_on_each_symbol generally available, so it
can be used outside CONFIG_LIVEPATCH option in following changes.

Rather than adding another ifdef option let's make the function
generally available (when CONFIG_KALLSYMS and CONFIG_MODULES
options are defined).

<content type='text'>
Switch from Clang's original forward-edge control-flow integrity
implementation to -fsanitize=kcfi, which is better suited for the
kernel, as it doesn't require LTO, doesn't use a jump table that
requires altering function references, and won't break cross-module
function address equality.

<content type='text'>
The __CFI_ADDRESSABLE macro is used for init_module and cleanup_module
to ensure we have the address of the CFI jump table, and with
CONFIG_X86_KERNEL_IBT to ensure LTO won't optimize away the symbols.
As __CFI_ADDRESSABLE is no longer necessary with -fsanitize=kcfi, add
a more flexible version of the __ADDRESSABLE macro and always ensure
these symbols won't be dropped.

<title>kunit: flatten kunit_suite*** to kunit_suite** in .kunit_test_suites</title>

<id>urn:sha1:e5857d396f35e59e6fe96cf1178b0357cc3a1ea4</id>
<content type='text'>
We currently store kunit suites in the .kunit_test_suites ELF section as
a `struct kunit_suite***` (modulo some `const`s).
For every test file, we store a struct kunit_suite** NULL-terminated array.

This adds quite a bit of complexity to the test filtering code in the
executor.

Instead, let's just make the .kunit_test_suites section contain a single
giant array of struct kunit_suite pointers, which can then be directly
manipulated. This array is not NULL-terminated, and so none of the test
filtering code needs to NULL-terminate anything.

<title>kunit: unify module and builtin suite definitions</title>

<author>
<name>Jeremy Kerr</name>
<email>jk@codeconstruct.com.au</email>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.stealer.net/cgit.cgi/user/sven/linux.git/commit/?id=3d6e44623841c8b82c2157f2f749019803fb238a'/>
<id>urn:sha1:3d6e44623841c8b82c2157f2f749019803fb238a</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently, KUnit runs built-in tests and tests loaded from modules
differently. For built-in tests, the kunit_test_suite{,s}() macro adds a
list of suites in the .kunit_test_suites linker section. However, for
kernel modules, a module_init() function is used to run the test suites.

This causes problems if tests are included in a module which already
defines module_init/exit_module functions, as they'll conflict with the
kunit-provided ones.

This change removes the kunit-defined module inits, and instead parses
the kunit tests from their own section in the module. After module init,
we call __kunit_test_suites_init() on the contents of that section,
which prepares and runs the suite.

This essentially unifies the module- and non-module kunit init formats.

In commit ca321ec74322 ("module.h: allow #define strings to work with
MODULE_IMPORT_NS") I fixed up the MODULE_IMPORT_NS() macro to allow
defined strings to work with it.  Unfortunatly I did it in a two-stage
process, when it could just be done with the __stringify() macro as
pointed out by Masahiro Yamada.

Clean this up to only be one macro instead of two steps to achieve the
same end result.

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.
