Merge tag 'modules-next-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rusty/linux

Pull mudule updates from Rusty Russell:
 "We get rid of the general module prefix confusion with a binary config
  option, fix a remove/insert race which Never Happens, and (my
  favorite) handle the case when we have too many modules for a single
  commandline.  Seriously, the kernel is full, please go away!"

* tag 'modules-next-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rusty/linux:
  modpost: fix unwanted VMLINUX_SYMBOL_STR expansion
  X.509: Support parse long form of length octets in Authority Key Identifier
  module: don't unlink the module until we've removed all exposure.
  kernel: kallsyms: memory override issue, need check destination buffer length
  MODSIGN: do not send garbage to stderr when enabling modules signature
  modpost: handle huge numbers of modules.
  modpost: add -T option to read module names from file/stdin.
  modpost: minor cleanup.
  genksyms: pass symbol-prefix instead of arch
  module: fix symbol versioning with symbol prefixes
  CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX: cleanup.
