[ Upstream commit 7044dcff8301b29269016ebd17df27c4736140d2 ] The `module!` macro creates glue code that are called by C to initialize the Rust modules using the `Module::init` function. Part of this glue code are the local functions `__init` and `__exit` that are used to initialize/destroy the Rust module. These functions are safe and also visible to the Rust mod in which the `module!` macro is invoked. This means that they can be called by other safe Rust code. But since they contain `unsafe` blocks that rely on only being called at the right time, this is a soundness issue. Wrap these generated functions inside of two private modules, this guarantees that the public functions cannot be called from the outside. Make the safe functions `unsafe` and add SAFETY comments.

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.
