the documentation for it. I just noticed it while inspecting this script

Pull arm64 updates from Catalin Marinas:
- "genirq: Introduce generic irq migration for cpu hotunplugged" patch
merged from tip/irq/for-arm to allow the arm64-specific part to be
upstreamed via the arm64 tree
- CPU feature detection reworked to cope with heterogeneous systems
where CPUs may not have exactly the same features. The features
reported by the kernel via internal data structures or ELF_HWCAP are
delayed until all the CPUs are up (and before user space starts)
- Support for 16KB pages, with the additional bonus of a 36-bit VA
space, though the latter only depending on EXPERT
- Implement native {relaxed, acquire, release} atomics for arm64
- New ASID allocation algorithm which avoids IPI on roll-over, together
with TLB invalidation optimisations (using local vs global where
feasible)
- KASan support for arm64
- EFI_STUB clean-up and isolation for the kernel proper (required by
KASan)
- copy_{to,from,in}_user optimisations (sharing the memcpy template)
- perf: moving arm64 to the arm32/64 shared PMU framework
- L1_CACHE_BYTES increased to 128 to accommodate Cavium hardware
- Support for the contiguous PTE hint on kernel mapping (16 consecutive
entries may be able to use a single TLB entry)
- Generic CONFIG_HZ now used on arm64
- defconfig updates

The supplied script takes a signed module file and extracts the tailmost
signature (there could theoretically be more than one) and dumps all or
part of it or the unsigned file to stdout.
Call as:
scripts/extract-module-sig.pl -[0adnks] module-file >out
where the initial flag indicates which bit of the signed file you want dumping
to stdout:
(*) "-0". Dumps the unsigned data with the signature stripped.
(*) "-a". Dumps all of the signature data, including the magic number.
(*) "-d". Dumps the signature information block as a sequence of decimal
numbers in text form with spaces between (crypto algorithm type,
hash type, identifier type, signer's name length, key identifier
length and signature length).
(*) "-n". Dumps the signer's name contents.
(*) "-k". Dumps the key identifier contents.
(*) "-s". Dumps the cryptographic signature contents.
In the case that the signature is a PKCS#7 (or CMS) message, -n and -k will
print a warning to stderr and dump nothing to stdout, but will otherwise
complete okay; the entire PKCS#7/CMS message will be dumped by "-s"; and "-d"
will show "0 0 2 0 0 <pkcs#7-msg-len>".

The supplied script takes a vmlinux file - and if necessary a System.map
file - locates the system certificates list and extracts it to the named
file.
Call as:
./scripts/extract-sys-certs vmlinux certs
if vmlinux contains symbols and:
./scripts/extract-sys-certs -s System.map vmlinux certs
if it does not.
It prints something like the following to stdout:
Have 27 sections
No symbols in vmlinux, trying System.map
Have 80088 symbols
Have 1346 bytes of certs at VMA 0xffffffff8201c540
Certificate list in section .init.data
Certificate list at file offset 0x141c540
If vmlinux contains symbols then that is used rather than System.map - even
if one is given.

This patch is more of a personal preference, rather than a fix for a problem.
The current implementation used a combination of both 'cat' and 'sed'
to generate an unsorted list of kernel modules separated by while space.
The proposed implementation uses 'sort' and 'sed' to generate a sort
list of kernel modules separated by while space.
