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.
