Suren Baghdasaryan 0db6f8d782 alloc_tag: load module tags into separate contiguous memory
When a module gets unloaded there is a possibility that some of the
allocations it made are still used and therefore the allocation tags
corresponding to these allocations are still referenced.  As such, the
memory for these tags can't be freed.  This is currently handled as an
abnormal situation and module's data section is not being unloaded.  To
handle this situation without keeping module's data in memory, allow
codetags with longer lifespan than the module to be loaded into their own
separate memory.  The in-use memory areas and gaps after module unloading
in this separate memory are tracked using maple trees.  Allocation tags
arrange their separate memory so that it is virtually contiguous and that
will allow simple allocation tag indexing later on in this patchset.  The
size of this virtually contiguous memory is set to store up to 100000
allocation tags.

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 reStructuredText 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.
