Nice win!
I think it's slightly clearer if we just declare:
static __always_unused const u16 __param_perm_##name = (perm).
And indeed, gcc (at least 4.9) eliminates it correctly.
So, here's your patch with that mod, and the param.c noise removed.
It's in my pending queue for the moment.
I still am leaning towards just removing these wrappers and exposing
the (new) per-module mutex though. Happy for that patch to replace this
one, if you send it.
Thanks,
Rusty.

Subject: module: make perm const, change BUG_ON to BUILD_BUG_ON
Change the struct kernel_param.perm field to a const, as it should never
be changed. Add a static const name for this (which gcc compiles out)
for kparam_[un]block_sysfs_r/w() macros to use; and change the BUG_ON()
in those macros to BUILD_BUG_ON().
This will enforce that the kernel_param permissions are never changed,
and it will fail at build instead of runtime for any misuse of
sysfs param blocking.
I initially wanted to just use the const param.perm in the block_sysfs
checks, but unfortunately that also requires the param itself to be
const, in order to do const folding into a constant compiletime
condition to BUILD_BUG_ON(), and on some archs the params aren't defined
as const:
/* On alpha, ia64 and ppc64 relocations to global data cannot go into
read-only sections (which is part of respective UNIX ABI on these
platforms). So 'const' makes no sense and even causes compile failures
with some compilers. */
