[PATCH v5 07/10] module: Optimize __module_address() using a latched RB-tree

[Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org>]

[-- Attachment #1: peterz-module-latch-tree.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 7185 bytes --]

Currently __module_address() is using a linear search through all
modules in order to find the module corresponding to the provided
address. With a lot of modules this can take a lot of time.

One of the users of this is kernel_text_address() which is employed
in many stack unwinders; which in turn are used by perf-callchain and
ftrace (possibly from NMI context).

So by optimizing __module_address() we optimize many stack unwinders
which are used by both perf and tracing in performance sensitive code.
