  module: sign with sha512 instead of sha1 by default (2025-01-26 13:05:24 +0100)

----------------------------------------------------------------
Modules changes for 6.14-rc1

Several fixes and small improvements are present:

- Sign modules with sha512 instead of sha1 by default

- Don't fail module loading when setting ro_after_init section RO failed

- Constify 'struct module_attribute'

- Cleanups and preparation for const struct bin_attribute

- Put known GPL offenders in an array

- Extend the preempt disabled section in dereference_symbol_descriptor()

This has been all on linux-next for at least 2 weeks with no issues.

A small merge conflict between the changes here and a pull from the
driver-core tree might appear in kernel/module/sysfs.c, function
add_notes_attrs(). The code has been cleaned up here and the driver-core
additionally changes nattr->read to nattr->read_new.

Related to the modules, an important new tool gendwarfksyms to calculate
symbols CRCs from DWARF data and thereby enable the modversion support for
Rust should come through the kbuild tree.
