Merge tag 'module_init-alternate_initcall-v4.1-rc8' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulg/linux
Pull module_init replacement part two from Paul Gortmaker: "Replace module_init with appropriate alternate initcall in non modules. This series converts non-modular code that is using the module_init() call to hook itself into the system to instead use one of our alternate priority initcalls. Unlike the previous series that used device_initcall and hence was a runtime no-op, these commits change to one of the alternate initcalls, because (a) we have them and (b) it seems like the right thing to do. For example, it would seem logical to use arch_initcall for arch specific setup code and fs_initcall for filesystem setup code. This does mean however, that changes in the init ordering will be taking place, and so there is a small risk that some kind of implicit init ordering issue may lie uncovered. But I think it is still better to give these ones sensible priorities than to just assign them all to device_initcall in order to exactly preserve the old ordering. Thad said, we have already made similar changes in core kernel code in commit c96d6660dc65 ("kernel: audit/fix non-modular users of module_init in core code") without any regressions reported, so this type of change isn't without precedent. It has also got the same local testing and linux-next coverage as all the other pull requests that I'm sending for this merge window have got. Once again, there is an unused module_exit function removal that shows up as an outlier upon casual inspection of the diffstat" * tag 'module_init-alternate_initcall-v4.1-rc8' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulg/linux: x86: perf_event_intel_pt.c: use arch_initcall to hook in enabling x86: perf_event_intel_bts.c: use arch_initcall to hook in enabling mm/page_owner.c: use late_initcall to hook in enabling lib/list_sort: use late_initcall to hook in self tests arm: use subsys_initcall in non-modular pl320 IPC code powerpc: don't use module_init for non-modular core hugetlb code powerpc: use subsys_initcall for Freescale Local Bus x86: don't use module_init for non-modular core bootflag code netfilter: don't use module_init/exit in core IPV4 code fs/notify: don't use module_init for non-modular inotify_user code mm: replace module_init usages with subsys_initcall in nommu.c
