[PATCH 04/13] livepatch: move klp_find_object_module to module.c

Thu Jan 21 18:49:50 AEDT 2021


To uncouple the livepatch code from module loader internals move a
slightly refactored version of klp_find_object_module to module.c
This allows to mark find_module static and removes one of the last
users of module_mutex outside of module.c.
