02106f883c kprobes: Prohibit probing on bsearch() 
Since kprobe breakpoing handler is using bsearch(), probing on this
routine can cause recursive breakpoint problem.

int3
 ->do_int3()
   ->ftrace_int3_handler()
     ->ftrace_location()
       ->ftrace_location_range()
         ->bsearch() -> int3

Prohibit probing on bsearch().

166a0f780a lib/bsearch.c: micro-optimize pivot position calculation 
There is a slightly faster way (in terms of the number of instructions
being used) to calculate the position of a middle element, preserving
integer overflow safeness.

./scripts/bloat-o-meter lib/bsearch.o.old lib/bsearch.o.new
add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 0/1 up/down: 0/-24 (-24)
function                                     old     new   delta
bsearch                                      122      98     -24

TEST

INT array of size 100001, elements [0..100000]. gcc 7.1, Os, x86_64.

8bc3bcc93a lib: reduce the use of module.h wherever possible 
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.

1a94dc35bc lib: Add generic binary search function to the kernel. 
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.
