Merge tag 'modules-5.19-rc7' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mcgrof/linux
Pull module fixes from Luis Chamberlain: "Although most of the move of code in in v5.19-rc1 should have not introduced a regression patch review on one of the file changes captured a checkpatch warning which advised to use strscpy() and it caused a buffer overflow when an incorrect length is passed. Another change which checkpatch complained about was an odd RCU usage, but that was properly addressed in a separate patch to the move by Aaron. That caused a regression with PREEMPT_RT=y due to an unbounded latency. This series fixes both and adjusts documentation which we forgot to do for the move" * tag 'modules-5.19-rc7' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mcgrof/linux: module: kallsyms: Ensure preemption in add_kallsyms() with PREEMPT_RT doc: module: update file references module: Fix "warning: variable 'exit' set but not used" module: Fix selfAssignment cppcheck warning modules: Fix corruption of /proc/kallsyms
