kernel: globalize lookup_or_create_module_kobject()

2025-05-09T07:56:09Z

[ Upstream commit 7c76c813cfc42a7376378a0c4b7250db2eebab81 ] lookup_or_create_module_kobject() is marked as static and __init, to make it global drop static keyword. Since this function can be called from non-init code, use __modinit instead of __init, __modinit marker will make it __init if CONFIG_MODULES is not defined.

kernel: param: rename locate_module_kobject

2025-05-09T07:56:09Z

[ Upstream commit bbc9462f0cb0c8917a4908e856731708f0cee910 ] The locate_module_kobject() function looks up an existing module_kobject for a given module name. If it cannot find the corresponding module_kobject, it creates one for the given name. This commit renames locate_module_kobject() to lookup_or_create_module_kobject() to better describe its operations. This doesn't change anything functionality wise.

module: Constify 'struct module_attribute'

2025-01-26T12:05:23Z

These structs are never modified, move them to read-only memory. This makes the API clearer and also prepares for the constification of 'struct attribute' itself. While at it, also constify 'modinfo_attrs_count'.

module: Handle 'struct module_version_attribute' as const

2025-01-26T12:05:23Z

The structure is always read-only due to its placement in the read-only section __modver. Reflect this at its usage sites. Also prepare for the const handling of 'struct module_attribute' itself.

params: Prepare for 'const struct module_attribute *'

2025-01-26T12:05:23Z

The 'struct module_attribute' sysfs callbacks are about to change to receive a 'const struct module_attribute *' parameter. Prepare for that by avoid casting away the constness through container_of() and using const pointers to 'struct param_attribute'.
