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.
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"
