For some modules, modalias is generated using the modpost utility and
the section is added to the module file.
When a module is added inside vmlinux, modpost does not generate
modalias for such modules and the information is lost.
As a result kmod (which uses modules.builtin.modinfo in userspace)
cannot determine that modalias is handled by a builtin kernel module.
$ cat /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:14.0/modalias
pci:v00008086d0000A36Dsv00001043sd00008694bc0Csc03i30

description: xHCI PCI Host Controller Driver
Missing modalias "pci:v*d*sv*sd*bc0Csc03i30*" which will be generated by
modpost if the module is built separately.
To fix this it is necessary to generate the same modalias for vmlinux as
for the individual modules. Fortunately '.vmlinux.export.o' is already
generated from which '.modinfo' can be extracted in the same way as for
vmlinux.o.

Explicitly adding MODULE_IMPORT_NS("module:...") is not allowed.
Currently, this is only checked at run time. That is, when such a
module is loaded, an error message like the following is shown:
foo: module tries to import module namespace: module:bar
Obviously, checking this at compile time improves usability.
In such a case, modpost will report the following error at compile time:
ERROR: modpost: foo: explicitly importing namespace "module:bar" is not allowed.

... and don't error out so hard on missing module descriptions.
Before commit 6c6c1fc09d ("modpost: require a MODULE_DESCRIPTION()")
we used to warn about missing module descriptions, but only when
building with extra warnigns (ie 'W=1').
After that commit the warning became an unconditional hard error.
And it turns out not all modules have been converted despite the claims
to the contrary. As reported by Damian Tometzki, the slub KUnit test
didn't have a module description, and apparently nobody ever really
noticed.
The reason nobody noticed seems to be that the slub KUnit tests get
disabled by SLUB_TINY, which also ends up disabling a lot of other code,
both in tests and in slub itself. And so anybody doing full build tests
didn't actually see this failre.
So let's disable SLUB_TINY for build-only tests, since it clearly ends
up limiting build coverage. Also turn the missing module descriptions
error back into a warning, but let's keep it around for non-'W=1'
builds.

Linus observed that the symbol_request(utf8_data_table) call fails when
CONFIG_UNICODE=y and CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS=y.
symbol_get() relies on the symbol data being present in the ksymtab for
symbol lookups. However, EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(utf8_data_table) is dropped
due to CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS, as no module references it in this case.
Probably, this has been broken since commit dbacb0ef67 ("kconfig option
for TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS").
This commit addresses the issue by leveraging modpost. Symbol names
passed to symbol_get() are recorded in the special .no_trim_symbol
section, which is then parsed by modpost to forcibly keep such symbols.
The .no_trim_symbol section is discarded by the linker scripts, so there
is no impact on the size of the final vmlinux or modules.
This commit cannot resolve the issue for direct calls to __symbol_get()
because the symbol name is not known at compile-time.
Although symbol_get() may eventually be deprecated, this workaround
should be good enough meanwhile.

Generate both the existing modversions format and the new extended one
when running modpost. Presence of this metadata in the final .ko is
guarded by CONFIG_EXTENDED_MODVERSIONS.
We no longer generate an error on long symbols in modpost if
CONFIG_EXTENDED_MODVERSIONS is set, as they can now be appropriately
encoded in the extended section. These symbols will be skipped in the
previous encoding. An error will still be generated if
CONFIG_EXTENDED_MODVERSIONS is not set.

With the latest binutils, modpost fails with a bus error on some
architectures such as ARM and sparc64.
Since binutils commit 1f1b5e506bf0 ("bfd/ELF: restrict file alignment
for object files"), the byte offset to each section (sh_offset) in
relocatable ELF is no longer guaranteed to be aligned.
modpost parses MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE() data structures, which are usually
located in the .rodata section. If it is not properly aligned, unaligned
access errors may occur.
To address the issue, this commit imports the get_unaligned() helper
from include/linux/unaligned.h.
The get_unaligned_native() helper caters to the endianness in addition
to handling the unaligned access.
I slightly refactored do_pcmcia_entry() and do_input() to avoid writing
back to an unaligned address. (We would need the put_unaligned() helper
to do that.)
The addend_*_rel() functions need similar adjustments because the .text
sections are not aligned either.
It seems that the .symtab, .rel.* and .rela.* sections are still aligned.
Keep normal pointer access for these sections to avoid unnecessary
performance costs.

Since commit 13b25489b6 ("kbuild: change working directory to external
module directory with M="), module paths are always relative to the top
of the external module tree.
The module paths recorded in Module.symvers are no longer globally unique
when they are passed via KBUILD_EXTRA_SYMBOLS for building other external
modules, which may result in false-positive "exported twice" errors.
Such errors should not occur because external modules should be able to
override in-tree modules.
To address this, record the dump file path in struct module and check it
when searching for a module.
