With several sections per module, and dozens of modules, the
searches down the linked list of sections would dominate the
lookup time, dwarfing any savings from the binary search
within the section.
A simple move-to-front optimisation exploits the commonality
of the code paths taken, and in simple real-world tests reduces
the number of steps in the search to barely more than 1.

Without these, exit functions cannot be stack-traced, so to speak.
This implies that module unloads that perform allocations (don't
laugh) will cause noisy warnings on the console when kmemleak is
enabled, as it presumes that all code's call chains are traceable.
Similarly, BUGs and WARN_ONs will give additional console spam.

Commit 8bf0223ed515be24de0c671eedaff49e78bebc9c (hwmon, k8temp: Fix
temperature reporting for ASB1 processor revisions) fixed temperature
reporting for ASB1 CPUs. But those CPU models (model 0x6b, 0x6f, 0x7f)
were packaged both as AM2 (desktop) and ASB1 (mobile). Thus the commit
leads to wrong temperature reporting for AM2 CPU parts.
The solution is to determine the package type for models 0x6b, 0x6f,
0x7f.
This is done using BrandId from CPUID Fn8000_0001_EBX[15:0]. See
"Constructing the processor Name String" in "Revision Guide for AMD
NPT Family 0Fh Processors" (Rev. 3.46).

pa-risc and ia64 have stacks that grow upwards. Check that
they do not run into other mappings. By making VM_GROWSUP
0x0 on architectures that do not ever use it, we can avoid
some unpleasant #ifdefs in check_stack_guard_page().

When converting this to the new wait_for macro I inverted the wait
condition, which causes all sorts of problems. So correct it to fix
several failures caused by the bad wait (flickering, bad output
detection, tearing, etc.).

Xen events are logically edge triggered, as Xen only calls the event
upcall when an event is newly set, but not continuously as it remains set.
As a result, use handle_edge_irq rather than handle_level_irq.
This has the important side-effect of fixing a long-standing bug of
events getting lost if:
- an event's interrupt handler is running
- the event is migrated to a different vcpu
- the event is re-triggered
The most noticable symptom of these lost events is occasional lockups
of blkfront.
Many thanks to Tom Kopec and Daniel Stodden in tracking this down.

IPIs and VIRQs are inherently per-cpu event types, so treat them as such:
- use a specific percpu irq_chip implementation, and
- handle them with handle_percpu_irq
This makes the path for delivering these interrupts more efficient
(no masking/unmasking, no locks), and it avoid problems with attempts
to migrate them.

Eliminiate sparse warning during usage of crypto_shash_* APIs
error: bad constant expression
Allocate memory for shash descriptors once, so that we do not kmalloc/kfree it
for every signature generation (shash descriptor for md5 hash).
