	There was a request to preprocess the module linker script like we do for the vmlinux one. (https://lkml.org/lkml/2020/8/21/512) The difference between vmlinux.lds and module.lds is that the latter is needed for external module builds, thus must be cleaned up by 'make mrproper' instead of 'make clean'. Also, it must be created by 'make modules_prepare'. You cannot put it in arch/$(SRCARCH)/kernel/, which is cleaned up by 'make clean'. I moved arch/$(SRCARCH)/kernel/module.lds to arch/$(SRCARCH)/include/asm/module.lds.h, which is included from scripts/module.lds.S. scripts/module.lds is fine because 'make clean' keeps all the build artifacts under scripts/. You can add arch-specific sections in <asm/module.lds.h>.

2017-12-11	powerpc/modules: Fix alignment of .toc section in kernel modules	Alan Modra	1	-0/+8
	powerpc64 gcc can generate code that offsets an address, to access part of an object in memory. If the address is a -mcmodel=medium toc pointer relative address then code like the following is possible. addis r9,r2,var@toc@ha ld r3,var@toc@l(r9) ld r4,(var+8)@toc@l(r9) This works fine so long as var is naturally aligned, and r2 is sufficiently aligned. If not, there is a possibility that the offset added to access var+8 wraps over a n64k+32k boundary. Modules don't have any guarantee that r2 is sufficiently aligned. Moreover, code generated by older compilers generates a .toc section with 2*0 alignment, which can result in relocation failures at module load time even without the wrap problem. Thus, this patch links modules with an aligned .toc section (Makefile and module.lds changes), and forces alignment for out of tree modules or those without a .toc section (module_64.c changes).
