Yeah, this is a mistake in my commits. The NULL pointer access should be fixed, but that is a separate issue.

After the linked LLVM change, building ARCH=um defconfig results in a segmentation fault in modpost. Prior to commit a23e7584ecf3 ("modpost: unify 'sym' and 'to' in default_mismatch_handler()"), there was a warning: WARNING: modpost: vmlinux.o(__ex_table+0x88): Section mismatch in reference to the .ltext:(unknown) WARNING: modpost: The relocation at __ex_table+0x88 references section ".ltext" which is not in the list of authorized sections. If you're adding a new section and/or if this reference is valid, add ".ltext" to the list of authorized sections to jump to on fault. This can be achieved by adding ".ltext" to OTHER_TEXT_SECTIONS in scripts/mod/modpost.c. The linked LLVM change moves global objects to the '.ltext' (and '.ltext.*' with '-ffunction-sections') sections with '-mcmodel=large', which ARCH=um uses. These sections should be handled just as '.text' and '.text.*' are, so add them to TEXT_SECTIONS.
