mm: kmemleak: add support for dumping physical and __percpu object info
Patch series "mm: kmemleak: Usability improvements".
Following a recent false positive tracking that led to commit
488b5b9eca68
("mm: kmemleak: fix upper boundary check for physical address objects"), I
needed kmemleak to give me more debug information about the objects it is
tracking. This lead to the first patch of this series. The second patch
changes the kmemleak-test module to show the raw pointers for debugging
purposes.
This patch (of 2):
Currently, echo dump=... > /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak only looks up the
main virtual address object tree. However, for debugging, it's useful to
dump information about physical address and __percpu objects.
Search all three object trees for the dump= command and also print the
type of the object if not virtual: "(phys)" or "(percpu)". In addition,
allow search by alias (pointer within the object).
