Linus Torvalds 1521829632 ftrace updates for 7.1:
- Speed up ftrace_lookup_symbols() for single lookups
 
   The kallsyms lookup in ftrace_lookup_symbols() does a linear search over
   each symbol. This is fine when it must match multiple strings, but when
   there's only a single string being searched for, using a binary search is
   much more efficient. When a single string is passed in to search, use the
   binary search method.
