Subject: [PATCH v3 0/3] mm: kmemleak: store objects allocated with physical address separately and check when scan

The kmemleak_*_phys() interface uses "min_low_pfn" and
"max_low_pfn" to check address. But on some architectures,
kmemleak_*_phys() is called before those two variables
initialized. The following steps will be taken:

1) Add OBJECT_PHYS flag and rbtree for the objects allocated
   with physical address
2) Store physical address in objects if allocated with OBJECT_PHYS
3) Check the boundary when scan instead of in kmemleak_*_phys()

This patch set will solve:

https://lore.kernel.org/r/9dd08bb5-f39e-53d8-f88d-bec598a08c93@gmail.com

v2: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20220603035415.1243913-1-patrick.wang.shcn@gmail.com
v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20220531150823.1004101-1-patrick.wang.shcn@gmail.com

v2->v3:
 - remove the min_count argument to kmemleak_alloc_phys() function and assume it's 0
 - remove unused kmemleak_not_leak_phys() function
 - add functions to reduce unnecessary changes
 - remove the check for kasan_reset_tag()
 - add Fixes tag in patch 3

v1->v2:
 - add rbtree for the objects allocated with physical address
 - store physical address in objects if allocated with OBJECT_PHYS
 - check the upper object boundary as well and avoid duplicate check

    address
