a5f1783be2
In a later patch we want to add stackdepot support for object owner tracking in slub caches, which is enabled by slub_debug boot parameter. This creates a bootstrap problem as some caches are created early in boot when slab_is_available() is false and thus stack_depot_init() tries to use memblock. But, as reported by Hyeonggon Yoo [1] we are already beyond memblock_free_all(). Ideally memblock allocation should fail, yet it succeeds, but later the system crashes, which is a separately handled issue. To resolve this boostrap issue in a robust way, this patch adds another way to request stack_depot_early_init(), which happens at a well-defined point of time. In addition to build-time CONFIG_STACKDEPOT_ALWAYS_INIT, code that's e.g. processing boot parameters (which happens early enough) can call a new function stack_depot_want_early_init(), which sets a flag that stack_depot_early_init() will check. In this patch we also convert page_owner to this approach. While it doesn't have the bootstrap issue as slub, it's also a functionality enabled by a boot param and can thus request stack_depot_early_init() with memblock allocation instead of later initialization with kvmalloc(). As suggested by Mike, make stack_depot_early_init() only attempt memblock allocation and stack_depot_init() only attempt kvmalloc(). Also change the latter to kvcalloc(). In both cases we can lose the explicit array zeroing, which the allocations do already. As suggested by Marco, provide empty implementations of the init functions for !CONFIG_STACKDEPOT builds to simplify the callers.

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.
