Catalin Marinas 9099daed9c mm: kmemleak: avoid using __va() on addresses that don't have a lowmem mapping
Some of the kmemleak_*() callbacks in memblock, bootmem, CMA convert a
physical address to a virtual one using __va().  However, such physical
addresses may sometimes be located in highmem and using __va() is
incorrect, leading to inconsistent object tracking in kmemleak.

The following functions have been added to the kmemleak API and they take
a physical address as the object pointer.  They only perform the
corresponding action if the address has a lowmem mapping:

kmemleak_alloc_phys
kmemleak_free_part_phys
kmemleak_not_leak_phys
kmemleak_ignore_phys

The affected calling places have been updated to use the new kmemleak
API.

Jonathan Corbet 059c5e918f docs: create a new dev-tools directory
This directory will be a collecting point for documentation oriented around
development tools.  As a step toward ordering Documentation/ it's a small
one, but we have to start somewhere...
