Instead of having a special case in the core kernel's module loader that treats a module called 'fips140.ko' in a special way, use a host tool to tweak the ELF metadata of this module so that the RELA data is preserved and accessible to the module init code. This is done in the following way: - each RELA section that we care about (the ones for .text and .rodata at the moment) is copied into a new section called .init.rela.<name> with the SHF_ALLOC attribute, so that the module loader will copy it into __init memory at load time; - for each such section, an offset/count tuple is added as a global variable to the module; - the count field of those tuples is populated directly by the host tool based on the actual size of the RELA section in question; - the offset field is decorated with a place-relative relocation against the start of the copied RELA section via a weak symbol reference, which causes an entry to be emitted into the ELF symbol table; - these ELF symbol table entries are updated by the host tool and turned into STT_SECTION type symbols with STB_GLOBAL linkage, carrying the correct section index. With these changes in place, the unmodified module loader will load all required information into memory in a way that permits the module init code to locate the relocations, and apply them in reverse.
