Subject: [PATCH v7 0/2] rcu: Dump memory object info if callback function is invalid

From: Zhen Lei <thunder.leizhen@...wei.com>

v6 --> v7:
To avoid snowballing, resend the two RCU-related patches that we've discussed
OK. The remaining three patches themselves do not need to be gone into RCU tree,
I'll send them separately for discussion.

v5 --> v6:
1. Use print_hex_dump() to dump the memory of slab object.
2. Add a new dump prefix DUMP_PREFIX_ADDRESS_LOW16
3. Minimize the output width of the offset

v4 --> v5:
1. Add Reviewed-by Acked-by for patch 1/3
2. Add patch 3/3:
   mm: Dump the memory of slab object in kmem_dump_obj()

v3 --> v4:
1. Remove kmem_valid_obj() and convert kmem_dump_obj() to work the same way
   as vmalloc_dump_obj().
2. In kernel/rcu/rcu.h
-#include <linux/mm.h>
+#include <linux/slab.h>

v2 --> v3:
1. I made statistics about the source of 'rhp'. kmem_valid_obj() accounts for
   more than 97.5%, and vmalloc accounts for less than 1%. So change call
   mem_dump_obj() to call kmem_dump_obj() can meet debugging requirements and
   avoid the potential deadlock risk of vmalloc_dump_obj().
-		mem_dump_obj(rhp);
+		if (kmem_valid_obj(rhp))
+			kmem_dump_obj(rhp);

   The discussion about vmap_area_lock deadlock in v2:
   https://lkml.org/lkml/2022/11/11/493

2. Provide static inline empty functions for kmem_valid_obj() and kmem_dump_obj()
   when CONFIG_PRINTK=n.

v1 --> v2:
1. Remove condition "(unsigned long)rhp->func & 0x3", it have problems on x86.
2. Paul E. McKenney helped me update the commit message, thanks.
