Hi Linus,

Please consider pulling the kmemcheck tree;

kmemcheck is a feature which can (at run-time) detect some uses of
uninitialized memory within the kernel, similarly to what Valgrind's memcheck
does for userspace programs. We also have the ability to find use-after-free
errors and leaks of uninitialized data to userspace, both with a false-
positive rate of zero.

kmemcheck is self-contained in the sense that when CONFIG_KMEMCHECK=n, it has
no effect on the compiled kernel whatsoever. Our code has lived in the -tip
tree and been in -next for over a year, and has the acks of x86 and slab
maintainers (Ingo and Pekka). Inclusion in mainline would lower the threshold
for building and running kmemcheck-enabled kernels, which would also
hopefully increase testing coverage of the rest of the kernel code.

Vegard
