This doesn't compile for nommu:
  /build/tmp.3xucsBhqDV/arch/riscv/kernel/execmem.c:10:46: error: 'MODULES_VADDR' undeclared (first use in this function)
  /build/tmp.3xucsBhqDV/arch/riscv/kernel/execmem.c:11:37: error: 'MODULES_END' undeclared (first use in this function)
  /build/tmp.3xucsBhqDV/arch/riscv/kernel/execmem.c:14:1: error: control reaches end of non-void function [-Werror=return-type]
Clang builds also report:
../arch/riscv/kernel/execmem.c:8:56: warning: omitting the parameter name in a function definition is a C2x extension [-Wc2x-extensions]

Meta comment. I dunno when v1 was sent, but versions can you please
relax with submitting new versions of your patches? There's conversations
ongoing on v5 at the moment, while this is a more recent version. v2
seems to have been sent on the 23rd and there's been 5 versions in the
last day:
https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-riscv/list/?submitter=195059&state=*

Could you please also try and use a cover letter for patchsets, ideally
with a consistent subject? Otherwise I have to manually mark stuff as
superseded.

Thanks,
Conor.
