  This function was taking non-necessary arguments which can be determined
  by kmemleak. The patch also modifies the calling sites.

• a6186d89c   kmemleak: Mark the early log buffer as __initdata ... Browse Code »

  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.

• 53238a60d   kmemleak: Allow partial freeing of memory blocks ... Browse Code »

  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.

• 3c7b4e6b8   kmemleak: Add the base support ... Browse Code »

  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.
