Merge tag 'modules-next-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rusty/linux
Pull module updates from Rusty Russell:
"Nothing major: the stricter permissions checking for sysfs broke a
staging driver; fix included. Greg KH said he'd take the patch but

kallsyms: fix percpu vars on x86-64 with relocation.
kallsyms: generalize address range checking
module: LLVMLinux: Remove unused function warning from __param_check macro
Fix: module signature vs tracepoints: add new TAINT_UNSIGNED_MODULE
module: remove MODULE_GENERIC_TABLE
