I bisected a boot failure that I see with CONFIG_CFI_CLANG enabled to
this change as commit be712757cabd ("x86/module: perpare module loading
for ROX allocations of text") in -next.

  $ echo CONFIG_CFI_CLANG=y >arch/x86/configs/cfi.config

  $ make -skj"$(nproc)" ARCH=x86_64 LLVM=1 mrproper defconfig cfi.config bzImage

  $ curl -LSs https://github.com/ClangBuiltLinux/boot-utils/releases/download/20230707-182910/x86_64-rootfs.cpio.zst | zstd -d >rootfs.cpio

then nothing after that. Boot is successful if CFI is not enabled (the
initrd will just shutdown the machine after printing the version string).

If there is any further information I can provide or patches I can test,
I am more than happy to do so.
