[PATCH] module: clean-up for module_memory

From: Song Liu
Date: Thu Feb 09 2023 - 12:57:26 EST


Three changes here:

1. Shorter variable names in arch/arc/kernel/unwind.c:unwind_add_table, to
make it easier to read.
2. Rewrite free_mod_mem() so it is more obvious that MOD_DATA need to be
freed last.
3. Clean up the use of CONFIG_ARCH_WANTS_MODULES_DATA_IN_VMALLOC.

This is the follow up patch on top of [1]. I would recommend fold this
into [1].
