Subject: arm64: Fail module loading if dynamic SCS patching fails
X-Git-Tag: v6.18-rc6~38^2~1
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=6d4a0fbd34a40c9f877b136de874dc3498031309;p=thirdparty%2Fkernel%2Flinux.git

arm64: Fail module loading if dynamic SCS patching fails

Disallow a module to load if SCS dynamic patching fails for its code. For
module loading, instead of running a dry-run to check for patching errors,
try to run patching in the first run and propagate any errors so module
loading will fail.
