Collect the time for each allocation recorded in page owner so that
allocation "surges" can be measured.
Record the pid for each allocation recorded in page owner so that the
source of allocation "surges" can be better identified.
The above is very useful when doing memory analysis. On a crash for
example, we can get this information from kdump (or ramdump) and parse it
to figure out memory allocation problems.
Please note that on x86_64 this increases the size of struct page_owner
from 16 bytes to 32.
Vlastimil: it's not a functionality intended for production, so unless
somebody says they need to enable page_owner for debugging and this
increase prevents them from fitting into available memory, let's not
complicate things with making this optional.

After removal of CONFIG_HAVE_MEMBLOCK_NODE_MAP we have two equivalent
functions that call memory_present() for each region in memblock.memory:
sparse_memory_present_with_active_regions() and membocks_present().
Moreover, all architectures have a call to either of these functions
preceding the call to sparse_init() and in the most cases they are called
one after the other.
Mark the regions from memblock.memory as present during sparce_init() by
making sparse_init() call memblocks_present(), make memblocks_present()
and memory_present() functions static and remove redundant
sparse_memory_present_with_active_regions() function.
Also remove no longer required HAVE_MEMORY_PRESENT configuration option.

SLUB_DEBUG creates several files under /sys/kernel/slab/<cache>/ that can
be read to check if the respective debugging options are enabled for given
cache. Some options, namely sanity_checks, trace, and failslab can be
also enabled and disabled at runtime by writing into the files.
The runtime toggling is racy. Some options disable __CMPXCHG_DOUBLE when
enabled, which means that in case of concurrent allocations, some can
still use __CMPXCHG_DOUBLE and some not, leading to potential corruption.
The s->flags field is also not updated or checked atomically. The
simplest solution is to remove the runtime toggling. The extended
slub_debug boot parameter syntax introduced by earlier patch should allow
to fine-tune the debugging configuration during boot with same
granularity.

SLUB_DEBUG creates several files under /sys/kernel/slab/<cache>/ that can
be read to check if the respective debugging options are enabled for given
cache. The options can be also toggled at runtime by writing into the
files. Some of those, namely red_zone, poison, and store_user can be
toggled only when no objects yet exist in the cache.
Vijayanand reports [1] that there is a problem with freelist randomization
if changing the debugging option's state results in different number of
objects per page, and the random sequence cache needs thus needs to be
recomputed.
However, another problem is that the check for "no objects yet exist in
the cache" is racy, as noted by Jann [2] and fixing that would add
overhead or otherwise complicate the allocation/freeing paths. Thus it
would be much simpler just to remove the runtime toggling support. The
documentation describes it's "In case you forgot to enable debugging on
the kernel command line", but the neccessity of having no objects limits
its usefulness anyway for many caches.
Vijayanand describes an use case [3] where debugging is enabled for all
but zram caches for memory overhead reasons, and using the runtime toggles
was the only way to achieve such configuration. After the previous patch
it's now possible to do that directly from the kernel boot option, so we
can remove the dangerous runtime toggles by making the /sys attribute
files read-only.
While updating it, also improve the documentation of the debugging /sys files.

Pull more documentation updates from Jonathan Corbet:
"A handful of late-arriving docs fixes, along with a patch changing a
lot of HTTP links to HTTPS that had to be yanked and redone before the
first pull"
* tag 'docs-5.8-2' of git://git.lwn.net/linux:
docs/memory-barriers.txt/kokr: smp_mb__{before,after}_atomic(): update Documentation
Documentation: devres: add missing entry for devm_platform_get_and_ioremap_resource()
Replace HTTP links with HTTPS ones: documentation
docs: it_IT: address invalid reference warnings
doc: zh_CN: use doc reference to resolve undefined label warning
docs: Update the location of the LF NDA program
docs: dev-tools: coccinelle: underlines
Rationale:
Reduces attack surface on kernel devs opening the links for MITM
as HTTPS traffic is much harder to manipulate.
Deterministic algorithm:
For each file:
For each line:
If doesn't contain `\bxmlns\b`:
For each link, `\bhttp://[^# \t\r\n]*(?:\w|/)`:
If both the HTTP and HTTPS versions
return 200 OK and serve the same content:
Replace HTTP with HTTPS.
