Without this patch, module init sections are disabled by patching their names in arch-specific code when they're loaded (which prevents code in layout_sections from finding init sections). This patch uses the new arch-specific module_init_section instead. This allows modules that have .init_array sections to have the initialisers properly called (on load, before init). Without this patch, the initialisers are not called because .init_array is renamed to _init_array, and thus isn't found by code in find_module_sections().

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.
