[PATCH next 0/2] kallsyms: optimise symbol search by name

[David Laight]

Patch 1 is from Jim Crome, included so the patch series builds.
This is currently in mm-nonmm-unstable

Patch 2 Removes the linear scan from the 'search by name' binary bisect.
Data size unchanged for 'sane' kernels.

Seems to work (I'm running it on this system), but I haven't got any performance
numbers.

  kallsyms: Match compressed tokens on the fly during binary search
