Thanks for the report! Any chance we can get you to try a bisection? I
think it should take 2-3 test boots. To help reduce scope you try modules-next:

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mcgrof/linux.git/log/?h=modules-next

Then can you check by resetting your tree to commmit 3fbe6c2f820a76 (mm:
introduce execmem_alloc() and execmem_free()"). I suspect that should
boot, so your bad commit would be the tip 3c2c250cb3a5fbb ("bpf: remove
CONFIG_BPF_JIT dependency on CONFIG_MODULES of").

That gives us only a few commits to bisect:

git log --oneline 3fbe6c2f820a76bc36d5546bda85832f57c8fce2..
3c2c250cb3a5 (HEAD -> modules-next, korg/modules-next) bpf: remove CONFIG_BPF_JIT dependency on CONFIG_MODULES of
11e8e65cce5c kprobes: remove dependency on CONFIG_MODULES
e10cbc38697b powerpc: use CONFIG_EXECMEM instead of CONFIG_MODULES where appropriate
4da3d38f24c5 x86/ftrace: enable dynamic ftrace without CONFIG_MODULES
13ae3d74ee70 arch: make execmem setup available regardless of CONFIG_MODULES
460bbbc70a47 powerpc: extend execmem_params for kprobes allocations
e1a14069b5b4 arm64: extend execmem_info for generated code allocations
971e181c6585 riscv: extend execmem_params for generated code allocations
0fa276f26721 mm/execmem, arch: convert remaining overrides of module_alloc to execmem
022cef244287 mm/execmem, arch: convert simple overrides of module_alloc to execmem

With 2-3 boots we should be to tell which is the bad commit.
