*	modpost: Optimize symbol search from linear to binary search	Jack Brennen	2023-10-03	1	-0/+199
	Modify modpost to use binary search for converting addresses back into symbol references. Previously it used linear search. This change saves a few seconds of wall time for defconfig builds, but can save several minutes on allyesconfigs.
