## Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:  virtio_console: eliminate anonymous module_init & module_exit  Eliminate anonymous module_init() and module_exit(), which can lead to confusion or ambiguity when reading System.map, crashes/oops/bugs, or an initcall_debug log.
