Patch series "kasan: save mempool stack traces". 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. This patch (of 21): Rename kasan_slab_free_mempool to kasan_mempool_poison_object. kasan_slab_free_mempool is a slightly confusing name: it is unclear whether this function poisons the object when it is freed into mempool or does something when the object is freed from mempool to the underlying allocator. The new name also aligns with other mempool-related KASAN hooks added in the following patches in this series.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
