  kmemleak: Inform kmemleak about pid_hash
  kmemleak: Do not warn if an unknown object is freed
  kmemleak: Do not report new leaked objects if the scanning was stopped
  kmemleak: Slightly change the policy on newly allocated objects
  kmemleak: Do not trigger a scan when reading the debug/kmemleak file
  kmemleak: Simplify the reports logged by the scanning thread

 and one object at the beginning of the list may cause other subsequent
 objects to be reported as orphan.

 /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak file. The following parameters are supported:
 
   off		- disable kmemleak (irreversible)
-  stack=on	- enable the task stacks scanning
+  stack=on	- enable the task stacks scanning (default)
   stack=off	- disable the tasks stacks scanning
-  scan=on	- start the automatic memory scanning thread
+  scan=on	- start the automatic memory scanning thread (default)

 Kmemleak can also be disabled at boot-time by passing "kmemleak=off" on
 the kernel command line.
 
+Memory may be allocated or freed before kmemleak is initialised and
+these actions are stored in an early log buffer. The size of this buffer
+is configured via the CONFIG_DEBUG_KMEMLEAK_EARLY_LOG_SIZE option.
