Hi Luis, Allen, I had some free time so decided to make a quick start. There is more outstanding; albeit, I wanted to share what was accomplished thus far. Unfortunately, nothing has been thoroughly tested yet. Please let me know your thoughts. Aaron Tomlin (12): module: Move all into module/ module: Simple refactor in preparation for split module: Move livepatch support to a separate file module: Move latched RB-tree support to a separate file module: Move arch strict rwx support to a separate file module: Move strict rwx support to a separate file module: Move extra signature support out of core code module: Move kmemleak support to a separate file module: Move kallsyms support into a separate file module: Move procfs support into a separate file module: Move sysfs support into a separate file module: Move kdb_modules list out of core code include/linux/module.h | 76 +- kernel/Makefile | 4 +- kernel/debug/kdb/kdb_main.c | 5 + kernel/module-internal.h | 31 - kernel/module/Makefile | 16 + kernel/module/arch_strict_rwx.c | 44 + kernel/module/debug_kmemleak.c | 30 + kernel/module/internal.h | 121 ++ kernel/module/kallsyms.c | 506 ++++++ kernel/module/livepatch.c | 75 + kernel/{module.c => module/main.c} | 1616 +---------------- kernel/module/procfs.c | 111 ++ .../signature.c} | 0 kernel/module/signing.c | 120 ++ kernel/module/strict_rwx.c | 83 + kernel/module/sysfs.c | 426 +++++ kernel/module/tree_lookup.c | 108 ++ kernel/module_signing.c | 45 - 18 files changed, 1751 insertions(+), 1666 deletions(-) delete mode 100644 kernel/module-internal.h create mode 100644 kernel/module/Makefile create mode 100644 kernel/module/arch_strict_rwx.c create mode 100644 kernel/module/debug_kmemleak.c create mode 100644 kernel/module/internal.h create mode 100644 kernel/module/kallsyms.c create mode 100644 kernel/module/livepatch.c rename kernel/{module.c => module/main.c} (66%) create mode 100644 kernel/module/procfs.c rename kernel/{module_signature.c => module/signature.c} (100%) create mode 100644 kernel/module/signing.c create mode 100644 kernel/module/strict_rwx.c create mode 100644 kernel/module/sysfs.c create mode 100644 kernel/module/tree_lookup.c delete mode 100644 kernel/module_signing.c -- 2.31.1
