Larry Finger 8a8c35fadf mm: kmemleak_alloc_percpu() should follow the gfp from per_alloc()
Beginning at commit d52d3997f8 ("ipv6: Create percpu rt6_info"), the
following INFO splat is logged:

  ===============================
  [ INFO: suspicious RCU usage. ]

Additional backtrace lines are truncated.  In addition, the above splat
is followed by several "BUG: sleeping function called from invalid
context at mm/slub.c:1268" outputs.  As suggested by Martin KaFai Lau,
these are the clue to the fix.  Routine kmemleak_alloc_percpu() always
uses GFP_KERNEL for its allocations, whereas it should follow the gfp
from its callers.

Catalin Marinas ffe2c748e2 mm: introduce kmemleak_update_trace()
The memory allocation stack trace is not always useful for debugging a
memory leak (e.g.  radix_tree_preload).  This function, when called,
updates the stack trace for an already allocated object.

Catalin Marinas f528f0b8e5 kmemleak: Handle percpu memory allocation
This patch adds kmemleak callbacks from the percpu allocator, reducing a
number of false positives caused by kmemleak not scanning such memory
blocks. The percpu chunks are never reported as leaks because of current
kmemleak limitations with the __percpu pointer not pointing directly to
the actual chunks.

Catalin Marinas c017b4be3e kmemleak: Simplify the kmemleak_scan_area() function prototype
This function was taking non-necessary arguments which can be determined
by kmemleak. The patch also modifies the calling sites.

Catalin Marinas a6186d89c9 kmemleak: Mark the early log buffer as __initdata
This buffer isn't needed after kmemleak was initialised so it can be
freed together with the .init.data section. This patch also marks
functions conditionally accessing the early log variables with __ref.

Catalin Marinas 53238a60dd kmemleak: Allow partial freeing of memory blocks
Functions like free_bootmem() are allowed to free only part of a memory
block. This patch adds support for this via the kmemleak_free_part()
callback which removes the original object and creates one or two
additional objects as a result of the memory block split.

Catalin Marinas 3c7b4e6b8b kmemleak: Add the base support
This patch adds the base support for the kernel memory leak
detector. It traces the memory allocation/freeing in a way similar to
the Boehm's conservative garbage collector, the difference being that
the unreferenced objects are not freed but only shown in
/sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak. Enabling this feature introduces an
overhead to memory allocations.
