Doc Text:
Previously, the working directory for the kmod /sbin/weak-modules script was writable only for the root user. Consequently, the script did not work on Oracle systems which use their own users. This update moves the working directory from the /lib/modules/<kernel version>/weak-updates location to the location under the /tmp directory for a dry-run invocation. As a result, the working directory is now writable even for a non-root user, and the kmod /sbin/weak-modules script works as expected on Oracle systems.
