[PATCH v7 0/3] Extended MODVERSIONS Support

[Matthew Maurer <mmaurer@google.com>]

This patch series is intended for use alongside the Implement DWARF
modversions series [1] to enable RUST and MODVERSIONS at the same
time.

Elsewhere, we've seen a desire for long symbol name support for LTO
symbol names [2], and the previous series came up [3] as a possible
solution rather than hashing, which some have objected [4] to.

This series adds a MODVERSIONS format which uses a section per column.
This avoids userspace tools breaking if we need to make a similar change
to the format in the future - we would do so by adding a new section,
rather than editing the struct definition. In the new format, the name
section is formatted as a concatenated sequence of NUL-terminated
strings, which allows for arbitrary length names.

Emitting the extended format is guarded by CONFIG_EXTENDED_MODVERSIONS,
but the kernel always knows how to validate both the original and
extended formats.

Selecting RUST and MODVERSIONS is now possible if GENDWARFKSYMS is
selected, and will implicitly select EXTENDED_MODVERSIONS.

This series depends upon the module verification refactor patches [5]
that were split off of v5, and DWARF-based versions [1].

linuxppc-dev is requested to look at the ppc-specific munging,
as Luis would like some eyes on there [6].

Changes in v7:
- Fix modpost to detect EXTENDED_MODVERSIONS based on a flag
- Drop patches to fix export_report.pl
- Switch from conditional compilation in .mod.c to conditional emission
  in modpost
- Factored extended modversion emission into its own function
- Allow RUST + MODVERSIONS if GENDWARFKSYMS is enabled by selecting
  EXTENDED_MODVERSIONS

v6: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20241015231925.3854230-1-mmaurer@google.com/
- Splits verification refactor Luis requested out to a separate change
- Clarifies commits around export_report.pl repairs
- Add CONFIG_EXTENDED_MODVERSIONS to control whether extended
  information is included in the module, per Luis's request.

v5: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20240925233854.90072-1-mmaurer@google.com/
- Addresses Sami's comments from v3 that I missed in v4 (missing early
  return, extra parens)

v4: https://lore.kernel.org/asahi/20240924212024.540574-1-mmaurer@google.com/
- Fix incorrect dot munging in PPC

v3: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/87le0w2hop.fsf@mail.lhotse/T/
- Split up the module verification refactor into smaller patches, per
  Greg K-H's suggestion.

v2: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20231118025748.2778044-1-mmaurer@google.com/
- Add loading/verification refactor before modifying, per Luis's request

v1: https://lore.kernel.org/rust-for-linux/20231115185858.2110875-1-mmaurer@google.com/
