* tag 'modules-next-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rusty/linux:
  module: cleanup call chain.
  module: do percpu allocation after uniqueness check.  No, really!
  modules: don't fail to load on unknown parameters.
  ABI: Clarify when /sys/module/MODULENAME is created
  There is no /sys/parameters
  module: don't modify argument of module_kallsyms_lookup_name()
