Some module sections occupy memory outside the regular module layout, for example the percpu section with its per-CPU allocations. The loader currently excludes such a section from the layout by clearing its SHF_ALLOC, which overloads the flag with a loader-internal meaning. apply_relocations() needs a special case for the section, and find_sec(".data..percpu") returns different results before and after layout_and_allocate(). Introduce SH_ENTSIZE_STANDALONE to mark sections with a separate allocation. The percpu section is its first user. layout_sections() and move_module() skip marked sections, and apply_relocations() goes back to testing only SHF_ALLOC. Based on a patch by Petr Pavlu [1]. .data..percpu keeps SHF_ALLOC, so it is now exported under /sys/module/*/sections/. Report the boot CPU instance of the module's per-CPU area there, as __is_module_percpu_address() does. No functional change otherwise.
