There was a request to preprocess the module linker script like we
do for the vmlinux one. (https://lkml.org/lkml/2020/8/21/512)
The difference between vmlinux.lds and module.lds is that the latter
is needed for external module builds, thus must be cleaned up by
'make mrproper' instead of 'make clean'. Also, it must be created
by 'make modules_prepare'.
You cannot put it in arch/$(SRCARCH)/kernel/, which is cleaned up by
'make clean'. I moved arch/$(SRCARCH)/kernel/module.lds to
arch/$(SRCARCH)/include/asm/module.lds.h, which is included from
scripts/module.lds.S.
scripts/module.lds is fine because 'make clean' keeps all the
build artifacts under scripts/.
You can add arch-specific sections in <asm/module.lds.h>.

Separate the function symbol address from .plt to .got.plt section.
The original plt entry has trampoline code with symbol address,
there is a 32-bit padding bwtween jar instruction and symbol address.
Extract the symbol address to .got.plt to reduce the module size.

The address of external symbols will locate more than 32-bit offset
in 64-bit kernel with sv39 or sv48 virtual addressing.
Module loader emits the GOT and PLT entries for data symbols and
function symbols respectively.
The PLT entry is a trampoline code for jumping to the 64-bit
real address. The GOT entry is just the data symbol address.
