Hi,

this series combines and revives patches from Oliver's last year
bachelor thesis (where I was the advisor) that make SLUB's debugfs
files alloc_traces and free_traces more useful.
The resubmission was blocked on stackdepot changes that are now merged,
as explained in patch 3.

Patch 1 makes it possible to use stack depot without bootstrap issues.

Patch 2 is a new preparatory cleanup.

Patch 3 originally submitted here [1], was merged to mainline but
reverted for stackdepot related issues as explained in the patch.

Patches 4-6 originally submitted as RFC here [2]. In this submission I
have omitted the new file 'all_objects' (patch 3/3 in [2]) as it might
be considered too intrusive so I will postpone it for later. The docs
patch is adjusted accordingly.

Also available in git, based on v5.18-rc1:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vbabka/linux.git/log/?h=slub-stackdepot-v3r2

I plan to add this to the slab (-next) tree for 5.19. lkp has been
testing this already from my git, which resolved some more corner cases
and recently only uncovered a pre-existing kfence bug [3]
