This series updates KASAN to save alloc and free stack traces for
secondary-level allocators that cache and reuse allocations internally
instead of giving them back to the underlying allocator (e.g. mempool).

As a part of this change, introduce and document a set of KASAN hooks:

bool kasan_mempool_poison_pages(struct page *page, unsigned int order);
void kasan_mempool_unpoison_pages(struct page *page, unsigned int order);
bool kasan_mempool_poison_object(void *ptr);
void kasan_mempool_unpoison_object(void *ptr, size_t size);

and use them in the mempool code.

Besides mempool, skbuff and io_uring also cache allocations and already
use KASAN hooks to poison those. Their code is updated to use the new
mempool hooks.

The new hooks save alloc and free stack traces (for normal kmalloc and
slab objects; stack traces for large kmalloc objects and page_alloc are
not supported by KASAN yet), improve the readability of the users' code,
and also allow the users to prevent double-free and invalid-free bugs;
see the patches for the details.

I'm posting this series as an RFC, as it has a few non-trivial-to-resolve
conflicts with the stack depot eviction patches. I'll rebase the series and
resolve the conflicts once the stack depot patches are in the mm tree.

Nice.

Overall LGTM and the majority of it is cleanups, so I think once the
stack depot patches are in the mm tree, just send v1 of this series.

Thanks! :)

Will do, thank you for looking at the patches!
