The x86 implementation of range-to-target_node lookup (i.e.
phys_to_target_node() and memory_add_physaddr_to_nid()) relies on
numa_memblks.
Since numa_memblks are now part of the generic code, move these
functions from x86 to mm/numa_memblks.c
From: "Mike Rapoport (Microsoft)"
Until now arch_numa was directly translating firmware NUMA information
to memblock.
Using numa_memblks as an intermediate step has a few advantages:
* alignment with more battle tested x86 implementation
* availability of NUMA emulation
* mainta

BPF just-in-time compiler depended on CONFIG_MODULES because it used
module_alloc() to allocate memory for the generated code.
Since code allocations are now implemented with execmem, drop dependency of

kprobes depended on CONFIG_MODULES because it has to allocate memory for
code.
Since code allocations are now implemented with execmem, kprobes can be
enabled in non-modular kernels.
Add #ifdef CONFIG_MODULE guards for the code dealing with kprobes insi

There are places where CONFIG_MODULES guards the code that depends on
memory allocation being done with module_alloc().
Replace CONFIG_MODULES with CONFIG_EXECMEM in such places.

Dynamic ftrace must allocate memory for code and this was impossible
without CONFIG_MODULES.
With execmem separated from the modules code, execmem_text_alloc() is
available regardless of CONFIG_MODULES.
Remove dependency of dynamic ftrace on CONFIG_MODULE

execmem does not depend on modules, on the contrary modules use
execmem.
To make execmem available when CONFIG_MODULES=n, for instance for
kprobes, split execmem_params initialization out from
arch/*/kernel/module.c and compile it when CONFIG_EXECMEM=y

powerpc overrides kprobes::alloc_insn_page() to remove writable
permissions when STRICT_MODULE_RWX is on.
Add definition of EXECMEM_KRPOBES to execmem_params to allow using the
generic kprobes::alloc_insn_page() with the desired permissions.

The memory allocations for kprobes and BPF on arm64 can be placed
anywhere in vmalloc address space and currently this is implemented with
overrides of alloc_insn_page() and bpf_jit_alloc_exec() in arm64.

The memory allocations for kprobes and BPF on RISC-V are not placed in

Extend execmem parameters to accommodate more complex overrides of

This includes specification of a fallback range required by arm, arm64

Several architectures override module_alloc() only to define address

module_alloc() is used everywhere as a mean to allocate memory for code.
Beside being semantically wrong, this unnecessarily ties all subsystems
that need to allocate code, such as ftrace, kprobes and BPF to modules and
puts the burden of code allocat

Move the logic related to the memory allocation and freeing into
module_memory_alloc() and module_memory_free().
