* git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rusty/linux-2.6-for-linus:
  params.c: Use new strtobool function to process boolean inputs
  debugfs: move to new strtobool
  Add a strtobool function matching semantics of existing in kernel equivalents
  modpost: Update 64k section support for binutils 2.18.50
  module: Use binary search in lookup_symbol()
  module: Use the binary search for symbols resolution
  lib: Add generic binary search function to the kernel.
  module: Sort exported symbols
  module: each_symbol_section instead of each_symbol
  module: split unset_section_ro_nx function.
  module: undo module RONX protection correctly.
  module: zero mod->init_ro_size after init is freed.
  minor ANSI prototype sparse fix
  module: reorder kparam_array to remove alignment padding on 64 bit builds
  module: remove 64 bit alignment padding from struct module with CONFIG_TRACE*
  module: do not hide __modver_version_show declaration behind ifdef
  module: deal with alignment issues in built-in module versions
