Merge tag 'modules-for-v5.9' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jeyu/linux
Pull module updates from Jessica Yu:
"The most important change would be Christoph Hellwig's patch
implementing proprietary taint inheritance, in an effort to discourage
the creation of GPL "shim" modules that interface between GPL symbols
and proprietary symbols.
Summary:
- Have modules that use symbols from proprietary modules inherit the
TAINT_PROPRIETARY_MODULE taint, in an effort to prevent GPL shim
modules that are used to circumvent _GPL exports. These are modules
that claim to be GPL licensed while also using symbols from
proprietary modules. Such modules will be rejected while non-GPL
modules will inherit the proprietary taint.
- Module export space cleanup. Unexport symbols that are unused
outside of module.c or otherwise used in only built-in code"
