Linus Torvalds 41bfad507c 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.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
