mm: kmemleak: add support for dumping physical and __percpu object info
Patch series "mm: kmemleak: Usability improvements". Following a recent false positive tracking that led to commit 488b5b9e ("mm: kmemleak: fix upper boundary check for physical address objects"), I needed kmemleak to give me more debug information about the objects it is tracking. This lead to the first patch of this series. The second patch changes the kmemleak-test module to show the raw pointers for debugging purposes. This patch (of 2): Currently, echo dump=... > /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak only looks up the main virtual address object tree. However, for debugging, it's useful to dump information about physical address and __percpu objects. Search all three object trees for the dump= command and also print the type of the object if not virtual: "(phys)" or "(percpu)". In addition, allow search by alias (pointer within the object).
