  module: Remove outdated comment about text_size (2025-05-18 13:56:22 +0200)

----------------------------------------------------------------
Modules changes for 6.16-rc1

- Make .static_call_sites in modules read-only after init

  The .static_call_sites sections in modules have been made read-only after
  init to avoid any (non-)accidental modifications, similarly to how they
  are read-only after init in vmlinux.

- The rest are minor cleanups.

The changes have been on linux-next for 2 months, with the exception of the
last comment-only cleanup.

As discussed previously, we rotate module maintainership among its
co-maintainers every 6 months. Daniel Gomez is next in line and he will
send the next pull request for the modules.

----------------------------------------------------------------
Petr Pavlu (3):
      module: Constify parameters of module_enforce_rwx_sections()
      module: Add a separate function to mark sections as read-only after init
      module: Make .static_call_sites read-only after init

Valentin Schneider (1):
      module: Remove outdated comment about text_size
