modpost: Optimize symbol search from linear to binary search Modify modpost to use binary search for converting addresses back into symbol references. Previously it used linear search. This change saves a few seconds of wall time for defconfig builds, but can save several minutes on allyesconfigs. Before: $ make LLVM=1 -j128 allyesconfig vmlinux -s KCFLAGS="-Wno-error" $ time scripts/mod/modpost -M -m -a -N -o vmlinux.symvers vmlinux.o 198.38user 1.27system 3:19.71elapsed After: $ make LLVM=1 -j128 allyesconfig vmlinux -s KCFLAGS="-Wno-error" $ time scripts/mod/modpost -M -m -a -N -o vmlinux.symvers vmlinux.o 11.91user 0.85system 0:12.78elapsed Signed-off-by: Jack Brennen <jbrennen@google.com> Tested-by: Nick Desaulniers <ndesaulniers@google.com> Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <masahiroy@kernel.org>

modpost: replace the use of NOFAIL() with xmalloc() etc. I think x*alloc() functions are cleaner. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <masahiroy@kernel.org>
