kmemleak: Simplify the kmemleak_scan_area() function prototype

2009-10-28T15:11:00Z

This function was taking non-necessary arguments which can be determined by kmemleak. The patch also modifies the calling sites. Signed-off-by: Catalin Marinas Cc: Pekka Enberg Cc: Christoph Lameter Cc: Rusty Russell

kmemleak: Mark the early log buffer as __initdata

2009-08-27T13:29:16Z

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. Signed-off-by: Catalin Marinas

kmemleak: Allow partial freeing of memory blocks

2009-07-08T13:25:14Z

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.

kmemleak: Add the base support

2009-06-11T16:03:28Z

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. Signed-off-by: Catalin Marinas Cc: Ingo Molnar Acked-by: Pekka Enberg Cc: Andrew Morton Reviewed-by: Paul E. McKenney
