Hi Linus,

Please pull for a single modules fix for commit 33121347fb1c ("module:
treat exit sections the same as init sections when !CONFIG_MODULE_UNLOAD").
Details can be found in the signed tag below.

Thanks,

   module: check for exit sections in layout_sections() instead of module_init_section() (2021-05-17 09:48:24 +0200)

Modules fixes for v5.13-rc3

- When CONFIG_MODULE_UNLOAD=n, module exit sections get sorted into the
   init region of the module in order to satisfy the requirements of
   jump_labels and static_calls. Previously, the exit section check was
   done in module_init_section(), but the solution there is not completely
   arch-indepedent as ARM is a special case and supplies its own
   module_init_section() function. Instead of pushing this logic further to
   the arch-specific code, switch to an arch-independent solution to check
   for module exit sections in the core module loader code in
   layout_sections() instead.
