[PATCH v10 03/10] powerpc: Always define MODULES_{VADDR,END}

From: Jordan Niethe <hidden>
Date: 2021-03-30 04:53:32
Subsystem: linux for powerpc (32-bit and 64-bit), the rest · Maintainers: Madhavan Srinivasan, Linus Torvalds

If MODULES_{VADDR,END} are not defined set them to VMALLOC_START and
VMALLOC_END respectively. This reduces the need for special cases. For
example, powerpc's module_alloc() was previously predicated on
MODULES_VADDR being defined but now is unconditionally defined.

This will be useful reducing conditional code in other places that need
to allocate from the module region (i.e., kprobes).
