Yes, sorry for cross-posting so widely. Of course this issue had no link with
networking, but I was in "RC7 panic", fearing a 6.13 final would be cut out in a
completely un-debuggable state, and the generic LKML is so crowded I guess it's
easy to miss a needle.

Anyway, Lorenzo did react with record speed !

TL;DR: this was a side-effect of unfinished work (not in kcore itself, rather in
the memory protections around modules AFAIU), that will shortly be reverted. The
quick fix until then is to disable ARCH_HAS_EXECMEM_ROX in Kconfig.
