Tux gets for xmass improving 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. Since I had to start reviewing other future kallsyms / modules enhancements by Nick Alcock (his stuff is not merged, it requires more work) I carefully reviewed and merged Zhen Lei's kallsyms changes through modules-next tree a bit less than a month ago. So this has been exposed on linux-next for about a month now with no reported regressions. 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 docompression in userspace. This is the newest code and was merged last week on modules-next. We spent a lot of time analyzing and coming to grips with a proper fix to an old modules regression which only recently came to light (since v5.3-rc1, May 2019) but even though I merged that fix onto modules-next last week I'm having second thoughts about it now as I was writing about that fix in this git tag message for you, as I found a few things we cannot quite justify there yet. So I'm going to push back to the drawing board again there until all i's are properly dotted. Yes, it's a regression but the issue has been there for 2 years now and it came up because of high end CPU count, it can wait a *tiny* bit more for a proper fix. 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. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQJGBAABCgAwFiEENnNq2KuOejlQLZofziMdCjCSiKcFAmOX54cSHG1jZ3JvZkBr ZXJuZWwub3JnAAoJEM4jHQowkoinFSgP/AxBdTOljYoqHnIL2/5f7PO2epSUq4Yu h42kE7aQ9qbiR9Rq2piCmD0SmeroVBIfxoMJwxnTuUy5IeujLXe6mtt7nG7Z96H1 mFxBCF63LqE/VUp/bYTusJkOPLksmhK2tCo5zMEnrRuhDAMrbFRc/S3jGm15P3/v /hdzh384Ou4cEQPQY6nsMwSvYsuNeYAhE/BqhkrQ1LDOAgSGx8DUp4db7i1/gmxG PAu7CPJEdEGljSHhG7v7PmqYYAyhyMRsW2WkCndQUvpcfZ3Q5abMFMa+9DQuT0j9 VIJtIFMZzgC+wy+1HB2hdhVcfYj1cGul0DIKugbJ9obTrIEiB8BFSaNluZroKXkU MIB/rlQCU8kkiw5CocTwM7APHPyv5sZf97oYm9MHcRE2QYYq+o4XKul3Pl2vcEB7 Cetbdxv+rUGl4Qm0U9AbXzZijwOnRu0XZShy4FTjwhipBSER93hGzYph9beSS+sb QLnDK1c6fATT9Ye95w9Oq7/4wdK5yDifRLwA57qo4oKNz4F4MhToPcIQbhLtU2IC NHWa5udylfbpNf2MnpCw0040b1hUV8atUxwZ2kBMPH/5bodXzQBKZkQEpzdPyOD8 sihPRlVmiVVXwRMxtQtFZXpb4l9Zg9YTEFMAA1ixgT1Gefh1VjAMAfOmy/hqiqBp x5CXDwftRckB =acEB -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'modules-6.2-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mcgrof/linux 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.
