Unwind information for init sections is placed in .ARM.exidx.init.text and .ARM.extab.init.text. The module core doesn't know that these are init sections so they are allocated along with the core sections, and if the core and init sections get allocated in different memory regions (which is possible with CONFIG_ARM_MODULE_PLTS=y) and they can't reach each other, relocation fails: final section addresses: ... 0x7f800000 .init.text .. 0xcbb54078 .ARM.exidx.init.text .. section 16 reloc 0 sym '': relocation 42 out of range (0xcbb54078 -> 0x7f800000) Fix this by informing the module core that these sections are init sections, and by removing the init unwind tables before the module core frees the init sections.

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 Restructured Text 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.
