Commit c566586818 ("mm: kmemleak: use the memory pool for early
allocations") renamed CONFIG_DEBUG_KMEMLEAK_EARLY_LOG_SIZE to
CONFIG_DEBUG_KMEMLEAK_MEM_POOL_SIZE. Update the documentation reference
to reflect that.

Wikipedia now has a main article to "tracing garbage collector" topic.
Change the URL and use the reStructuredText syntax for hyperlinks and add
more details about the use of the tool. Add a section about how to use
the kmemleak-test module to test the memory leak scanning.

Kmemleak requires that vmalloc'ed objects have a minimum reference count
of 2: one in the corresponding vm_struct object and the other owned by
the vmalloc() caller. There are cases, however, where the original
vmalloc() returned pointer is lost and, instead, a pointer to vm_struct
is stored (see free_thread_stack()). Kmemleak currently reports such
objects as leaks.
This patch adds support for treating any surplus references to an object
as additional references to a specified object. It introduces the
kmemleak_vmalloc() API function which takes a vm_struct pointer and sets
its surplus reference passing to the actual vmalloc() returned pointer.
The __vmalloc_node_range() calling site has been modified accordingly.

Some of the kmemleak_*() callbacks in memblock, bootmem, CMA convert a
physical address to a virtual one using __va(). However, such physical
addresses may sometimes be located in highmem and using __va() is
incorrect, leading to inconsistent object tracking in kmemleak.
The following functions have been added to the kmemleak API and they take
a physical address as the object pointer. They only perform the
corresponding action if the address has a lowmem mapping:
kmemleak_alloc_phys
kmemleak_free_part_phys
kmemleak_not_leak_phys
kmemleak_ignore_phys
The affected calling places have been updated to use the new kmemleak
API.
