CPU VOLTAGE: equalized CPU voltage for different than stock CPU chips. some CPU chips select the 5th colum from left. now it's equal to 4th (main) need to TEST.
modules: add default loader hook implementations

The module loader code allows architectures to hook into the code by
providing a small number of entry points that each arch must implement.
This patch provides __weakly linked generic implementations of these
entry points for architectures that don't need to do anything special.

module: add /sys/module/<name>/uevent files

Userspace wants to manage module parameters with udev rules.
This currently only works for loaded modules, but not for
built-in ones.

To allow access to the built-in modules we need to
re-trigger all module load events that happened before any
userspace was running. We already do the same thing for all
devices, subsystems(buses) and drivers.

This adds the currently missing /sys/module/<name>/uevent files
to all module entries.

Tracepoint: Dissociate from module mutex

Copy the information needed from struct module into a local module list
held within tracepoint.c from within the module coming/going notifier.

This vastly simplifies locking of tracepoint registration /
unregistration, because we don't have to take the module mutex to
register and unregister tracepoints anymore. Steven Rostedt ran into
dependency problems related to modules mutex vs kprobes mutex vs ftrace
mutex vs tracepoint mutex that seems to be hard to fix without removing
this dependency between tracepoint and module mutex. (note: it should be
investigated whether kprobes could benefit of being dissociated from the
modules mutex too.)

This also fixes module handling of tracepoint list iterators, because it
was expecting the list to be sorted by pointer address. Given we have
control on our own list now, it's OK to sort this list which has
tracepoints as its only purpose. The reason why this sorting is required
is to handle the fact that seq files (and any read() operation from
user-space) cannot hold the tracepoint mutex across multiple calls, so
list entries may vanish between calls. With sorting, the tracepoint
iterator becomes usable even if the list don't contain the exact item
pointed to by the iterator anymore.

module: Enable dynamic debugging regardless of taint

Dynamic debugging is currently disabled for tainted modules, except
for TAINT_CRAP.  This prevents use of dynamic debugging for
out-of-tree modules once the next patch is applied.

This condition was apparently intended to avoid a crash if a force-
loaded module has an incompatible definition of dynamic debug
structures.  However, a administrator that forces us to load a module
is claiming that it *is* compatible even though it fails our version
checks.  If they are mistaken, there are any number of ways the module
could crash the system.

As a side-effect, proprietary and other tainted modules can now use
dynamic_debug.

module,bug: Add TAINT_OOT_MODULE flag for modules not built in-tree

Use of the GPL or a compatible licence doesn't necessarily make the code
any good.  We already consider staging modules to be suspect, and this
should also be true for out-of-tree modules which may receive very
little review.

Small FIX to add_taint_module function.
module: Fix performance regression on modules with large symbol tables

Looking at /proc/kallsyms, one starts to ponder whether all of the extra
strtab-related complexity in module.c is worth the memory savings.

Instead of making the add_kallsyms() loop even more complex, I tried the
other route of deleting the strmap logic and naively copying each string
into core_strtab with no consideration for consolidating duplicates.

Performance on an "already exists" insmod of nvidia.ko (runs
add_kallsyms() but does not actually initialize the module):

	Original scheme: 1.230s
	With naive copying: 0.058s

Extra space used: 35k (of a 408k module).

module: struct module_ref should contains long fields

module_ref contains two "unsigned int" fields.

Thats now too small, since some machines can open more than 2^32 files.

Check commit 518de9b39e8 (fs: allow for more than 2^31 files) for
reference.

We can add an aligned(2 * sizeof(unsigned long)) attribute to force
alloc_percpu() allocating module_ref areas in single cache lines.

modules: sysfs - export: taint, coresize, initsize

Recent tools do not want to use /proc to retrieve module information. A few
values are currently missing from sysfs to replace the information available
in /proc/modules.

This adds /sys/module/*/{coresize,initsize,taint} attributes.

TAINT_PROPRIETARY_MODULE (P) and TAINT_OOT_MODULE (O) flags are both always
shown now, and do no longer exclude each other, also in /proc/modules.

Replace the open-coded sysfs attribute initializers with the __ATTR() macro.

Add the new attributes to Documentation/ABI.
