Hi all,
Today's linux-next merge of the modules tree got a conflict in:
scripts/mod/modpost.c
between commit:
4074532758c5 ("modpost: Optimize symbol search from linear to binary search")
from the kbuild tree and commit:
dc95e422c283 ("module: Make is_valid_name() return bool")
from the modules tree.
I fixed it up (I used the former version of this files and applied the
following merge resolution patch) and can carry the fix as necessary. This
is now fixed as far as linux-next is concerned, but any non trivial
conflicts should be mentioned to your upstream maintainer when your tree
is submitted for merging. You may also want to consider cooperating
with the maintainer of the conflicting tree to minimise any particularly
complex conflicts.

This is now a conflict between the kbuild tree and Linus' tree.
