kmemleak: enable tracking for percpu pointers
Patch series "kmemleak: support for percpu memory leak detect'. This is a rework of this series: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20200921020007.35803-1-chenjun102@huawei.com/ Originally I was investigating a percpu leak on our customer nodes and having this functionality was a huge help, which lead to this fix [1]. So probably it's a good idea to have it in mainstream too, especially as after [2] it became much easier to implement (we already have a separate tree for percpu pointers). [1] commit 0af8c09c ("netfilter: x_tables: fix percpu counter block leak on error path when creating new netns") [2] commit 39042079 ("kmemleak: avoid RCU stalls when freeing metadata for per-CPU pointers") This patch (of 2): This basically does: - Add min_percpu_addr and max_percpu_addr to filter out unrelated data similar to min_addr and max_addr; - Set min_count for percpu pointers to 1 to start tracking them; - Calculate checksum of percpu area as xor of crc32 for each cpu; - Split pointer lookup and update refs code into separate helper and use it twice: once as if the pointer is a virtual pointer and once as if it's percpu.
