    mm: kmemleak: use the memory pool for early allocations · c5665868
    Catalin Marinas authored
    Currently kmemleak uses a static early_log buffer to trace all memory
    allocation/freeing before the slab allocator is initialised.  Such early
    log is replayed during kmemleak_init() to properly initialise the kmemleak
    metadata for objects allocated up that point.  With a memory pool that
    does not rely on the slab allocator, it is possible to skip this early log
    entirely.
    
    In order to remove the early logging, consider kmemleak_enabled == 1 by
    default while the kmem_cache availability is checked directly on the
    object_cache and scan_area_cache variables.  The RCU callback is only
    invoked after object_cache has been initialised as we wouldn't have any
    concurrent list traversal before this.
    
    In order to reduce the number of callbacks before kmemleak is fully
    initialised, move the kmemleak_init() call to mm_init().
