I do have CONFIG_ARM_MODULE_PLTS=y. Do you need to do something else after
loading the module? I tried starting ftrace, but maybe there's a particular
combination required?
You need to load a BIG module, so big that it has no place in the modules area
any more and goes to vmalloc area.
You absolutely need a very big module maybe more than one. When I tested
this, I could use the two proprietary modules (*sigh*) that I needed to
exercise against and loading one but not the other was not enough to
make the second module loading spill into vmalloc space.
Here is what I use instead of these real world "proprietary" modules (which of course
were the real trigger for the patch):
