[ Upstream commit 02106f883cd745523f7766d90a739f983f19e650 ]
Since kprobe breakpoing handler is using bsearch(), probing on this
routine can cause recursive breakpoint problem.int3

->bsearch() -> int3Prohibit probing on bsearch().

There is a slightly faster way (in terms of the number of instructions
being used) to calculate the position of a middle element, preserving

For files only using THIS_MODULE and/or EXPORT_SYMBOL, map
them onto including export.h -- or if the file isn't even
using those, then just delete the include. Fix up any implicit
include dependencies that were being masked by module.h along
the way.Signed-off-by: Paul Gortmaker

There a large number hand-coded binary searches in the kernel (run
"git grep search | grep binary" to find many of them). Since in my
experience, hand-coding binary searches can be error-prone, it seems
worth cleaning this up by providing a generic binary search function.This generic binary search implementation comes from Ksplice. It has
the same basic API as the C library bsearch() function. Ksplice uses
it in half a dozen places with 4 different comparison functions, and I
think our code is substantially cleaner because of this.Signed-off-by: Tim Abbott
