Pull modules updates from Luis Chamberlain: "Tux gets for xmas an improvement to the average lookup performance of kallsyms_lookup_name() by 715x thanks to the work by Zhen Lei, which upgraded our old implementation from being O(n) to O(log(n)), while also retaining the old implementation support on /proc/kallsyms. The only penalty was increasing the memory footprint by 3 * kallsyms_num_syms. Folks who want to improve this further now also have a dedicated selftest facility through KALLSYMS_SELFTEST. Stephen Boyd added zstd in-kernel decompression support, but the only users of this would be folks using the load-pin LSM because otherwise we do module decompression in userspace. The only other thing with mentioning is a minor boot time optimization by Rasmus Villemoes which deferes param_sysfs_init() to late init. The rest is cleanups and minor fixes" * tag 'modules-6.2-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mcgrof/linux: livepatch: Call klp_match_callback() in klp_find_callback() to avoid code duplication module/decompress: Support zstd in-kernel decompression kallsyms: Remove unneeded semicolon kallsyms: Add self-test facility livepatch: Use kallsyms_on_each_match_symbol() to improve performance kallsyms: Add helper kallsyms_on_each_match_symbol() kallsyms: Reduce the memory occupied by kallsyms_seqs_of_names[] kallsyms: Correctly sequence symbols when CONFIG_LTO_CLANG=y kallsyms: Improve the performance of kallsyms_lookup_name() scripts/kallsyms: rename build_initial_tok_table() module: Fix NULL vs IS_ERR checking for module_get_next_page kernel/params.c: defer most of param_sysfs_init() to late_initcall time module: Remove unused macros module_addr_min/max module: remove redundant module_sysfs_initialized variable
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.
