mainline inclusion from mainline-v6.7-rc1 commit 4074532758c5c367d3fcb8d124150824a254659d category: feature bugzilla: https://gitee.com/openeuler/kernel/issues/I97HOU CVE: NA
--------------------------------
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
