Merge tag 'modules-for-v5.6' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jeyu/linux

Pull module updates from Jessica Yu:
 "Summary of modules changes for the 5.6 merge window:

   - Add "MS" (SHF_MERGE|SHF_STRINGS) section flags to __ksymtab_strings
     to indicate to the linker that it can perform string deduplication
     (i.e., duplicate strings are reduced to a single copy in the string
     table). This means any repeated namespace string would be merged to
     just one entry in __ksymtab_strings.

   - Various code cleanups and small fixes (fix small memleak in error
     path, improve moduleparam docs, silence rcu warnings, improve error
     logging)"

* tag 'modules-for-v5.6' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jeyu/linux:
  module.h: Annotate mod_kallsyms with __rcu

  modsign: print module name along with error message
  kernel/module: Fix memleak in module_add_modinfo_attrs()
  export.h: reduce __ksymtab_strings string duplication by using "MS" section flags
  moduleparam: fix kerneldoc
