Main excitement here is Peter Zijlstra's lockless rbtree optimization to
speed module address lookup. He found some abusers of the module lock
doing that too.
A little bit of parameter work here too; including Dan Streetman's breaking
up the big param mutex so writing a parameter can load another module (yeah,
really). Unfortunately that broke the usual suspects, !CONFIG_MODULES and
!CONFIG_SYSFS, so those fixes were appended too.
Cheers,

Add a "param_lock" mutex to each module, and update params.c to use
the correct built-in or module mutex while locking kernel params.
Remove the kparam_block_sysfs_r/w() macros, replace them with direct
calls to kernel_param_[un]lock(module).
The kernel param code currently uses a single mutex to protect
modification of any and all kernel params. While this generally works,
there is one specific problem with it; a module callback function
cannot safely load another module, i.e. with request_module() or even
with indirect calls such as crypto_has_alg(). If the module to be
loaded has any of its params configured (e.g. with a /etc/modprobe.d/*
config file), then the attempt will result in a deadlock between the
first module param callback waiting for modprobe, and modprobe trying to
lock the single kernel param mutex to set the new module's param.
This fixes that by using per-module mutexes, so that each individual module
is protected against concurrent changes in its own kernel params, but is
not blocked by changes to other module params. All built-in modules
continue to use the built-in mutex, since they will always be loaded at
runtime and references (e.g. request_module(), crypto_has_alg()) to them
will never cause load-time param changing.
This also simplifies the interface used by modules to block sysfs access
to their params; while there are currently functions to block and unblock
sysfs param access which are split up by read and write and expect a single
kernel param to be passed, their actual operation is identical and applies
to all params, not just the one passed to them; they simply lock and unlock
the global param mutex. They are replaced with direct calls to
kernel_param_[un]lock(THIS_MODULE), which locks THIS_MODULE's param_lock, or
if the module is built-in, it locks the built-in mutex.

When a module_param is defined without DAC write permissions, it can
still be changed at runtime and updated. Drivers using a 0444 permission
may be surprised that these values can still be changed.
For drivers that want to allow updates, any S_IW* flag will set the
"store" function as before. Drivers without S_IW* flags will have the
"store" function unset, unforcing a read-only value. Drivers that wish
neither "store" nor "get" can continue to use "0" for perms to stay out
of sysfs entirely.

commit 63662139e5 attempted to patch a
leak (which would only happen on OOM, ie. never), but it didn't quite
work.
This rewrites the code to be as simple as possible. add_sysfs_param()
adds a parameter. If it fails, it's the caller's responsibility to
clean up the parameters which already exist.
The kzalloc-then-always-krealloc pattern is perhaps overly simplistic,
but this code has clearly confused people. It worked on me...

The kernel passes any args it doesn't need through to init, except it
assumes anything containing '.' belongs to the kernel (for a module).
This change means all users can clearly distinguish which arguments
are for init.
For example, the kernel uses debug ("dee-bug") to mean log everything to
the console, where systemd uses the debug from the Scandinavian "day-boog"
meaning "fail to boot". If a future versions uses argv[] instead of
reading /proc/cmdline, this confusion will be avoided.
eg: test 'FOO="this is --foo"' -- 'systemd.debug="true true true"'
Gives:
argv[0] = '/debug-init'
argv[1] = 'test'
argv[2] = 'systemd.debug=true true true'
envp[0] = 'HOME=/'
envp[1] = 'TERM=linux'
envp[2] = 'FOO=this is --foo'

Currently the params.c code allows only two "set" functions to have
no arguments. If a parameter does not have an argument, then it
looks at the set function and tests if it is either param_set_bool()
or param_set_bint(). If it is not one of these functions, then it
fails the loading of the module.
But there may be module parameters that have different set functions
and still allow no arguments. But unless each of these cases adds
their function to the if statement, it wont be allowed to have no
arguments. This method gets rather messing and does not scale.
Instead, introduce a flags field to the kernel_param_ops, where if
the flag KERNEL_PARAM_FL_NOARG is set, the parameter will not fail
if it does not contain an argument. It will be expected that the
corresponding set function can handle a NULL pointer as "val".

Add a 3rd arg, named "doing", to unknown-options callbacks invoked
from parse_args(). The arg is passed as:
"Booting kernel" from start_kernel(),
initcall_level_names[i] from do_initcall_level(),
mod->name from load_module(), via parse_args(), parse_one()
parse_args() already has the "name" parameter, which is renamed to
"doing" to better reflect current uses 1,2 above. parse_args() passes
it to an altered parse_one(), which now passes it down into the
unknown option handler callbacks.
The mod->name will be needed to handle dyndbg for loadable modules,
since params passed by modprobe are not qualified (they do not have a
"$modname." prefix), and by the time the unknown-param callback is
called, the module name is not otherwise available.
Minor tweaks:
Add param-name to parse_one's pr_debug(), current message doesnt
identify the param being handled, add it.
Add a pr_info to print current level and level_name of the initcall,
and number of registered initcalls at that level. This adds 7 lines
to dmesg output, like:
initlevel:6=device, 172 registered initcalls
Drop "parameters" from initcall_level_names[], its unhelpful in the
pr_info() added above. This array is passed into parse_args() by
do_initcall_level().

For historical reasons, we allow module_param(bool) to take an int (or
an unsigned int). That's going away.
A few drivers really want an int: they set it to -1 and a parameter
will set it to 0 or 1. This sucks: reading them from sysfs will give
'Y' for both -1 and 1, but if we change it to an int, then the users
might be broken (if they did "param" instead of "param=1").
Use a new 'bint' parser for them.
(ntfs has a different problem: it needs an int for debug_msgs because
it's also exposed via sysctl.)

Moreover, as DaveM said, we can't reliably put structures into
independent objects, put them into a special section, and then expect
array access over them (via the section boundaries) after linking the
objects together to just "work" due to variable alignment choices in
different situations. The only solution that seems to work reliably
is to make an array of plain pointers to the objects in question and
put those pointers in the special section.

Currently only drivers that are built as modules have their versions
shown in /sys/module/<module_name>/version, but this information might
also be useful for built-in drivers as well. This especially important
for drivers that do not define any parameters - such drivers, if
built-in, are completely invisible from userspace.
This patch changes MODULE_VERSION() macro so that in case when we are
compiling built-in module, version information is stored in a separate
section. Kernel then uses this data to create 'version' sysfs attribute
in the same fashion it creates attributes for module parameters.

There may be cases (most obviously, sysfs-writable charp parameters) where
a module needs to prevent sysfs access to parameters.
Rather than express this in terms of a big lock, the functions are
expressed in terms of what they protect against. This is clearer, esp.
if the implementation changes to a module-level or even param-level lock.

Since this section can be read-only (they're in .rodata), they should
always have been const. Minor flow-through various functions.
