- Fix an age old bug involving jump_calls and static_labels when
CONFIG_MODULE_UNLOAD=n. When CONFIG_MODULE_UNLOAD=n, it means you
can't unload modules, so normally the __exit sections of a module are
not loaded at all. However, dynamic code patching (jump_label,
static_call, alternatives) can have sites in __exit sections even if
__exit is never executed.
Reported by Peter Zijlstra: "Alternatives, jump_labels and static_call
all can have relocations into __exit code. Not loading it at all would
be BAD." Therefore, load the __exit sections even when
CONFIG_MODULE_UNLOAD=n, and discard them after init.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
