Ard Biesheuvel dc002bb62f bpf: add __weak hook for allocating executable memory
By default, BPF uses module_alloc() to allocate executable memory,
but this is not necessary on all arches and potentially undesirable
on some of them.

So break out the module_alloc() and module_memfree() calls into __weak
functions to allow them to be overridden in arch code.

README

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.
