Merge tag 'modules-next-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rusty/linux
Pull module updates from Rusty Russell: "Quentin opened a can of worms by adding extable entry checking to modpost, but most architectures seem fixed now. Thanks to all involved. Last minute rebase because I noticed a "[PATCH]" had snuck into a commit message somehow" * tag 'modules-next-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rusty/linux: modpost: don't emit section mismatch warnings for compiler optimizations modpost: expand pattern matching to support substring matches modpost: do not try to match the SHT_NUL section. modpost: fix extable entry size calculation. modpost: fix inverted logic in is_extable_fault_address(). modpost: handle -ffunction-sections modpost: Whitelist .text.fixup and .exception.text params: handle quotes properly for values not of form foo="bar". modpost: document the use of struct section_check. modpost: handle relocations mismatch in __ex_table. scripts: add check_extable.sh script. modpost: mismatch_handler: retrieve tosym information only when needed. modpost: factorize symbol pretty print in get_pretty_name(). modpost: add handler function pointer to sectioncheck. modpost: add .sched.text and .kprobes.text to the TEXT_SECTIONS list. modpost: add strict white-listing when referencing sections. module: do not print allocation-fail warning on bogus user buffer size kernel/module.c: fix typos in message about unused symbols
