From: Catalin Marinas <[email protected]>
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 orphan
pointers are not freed but only shown in /proc/memleak. Enabling this
feature would introduce an overhead to memory allocations.
