This is a new version (0.4) of the kernel memory leak detector. See
the Documentation/kmemleak.txt file for a more detailed
description. The patches are downloadable from (the bundled patch or
the full series):

http://homepage.ntlworld.com/cmarinas/kmemleak/patches-kmemleak-0.4.tar.bz2

What's new in this version:

- full kernel modules support
- kmemleak now depends on DEBUG_SLAB. The detection is improved by the
  objects poisoning caused by this configuration option
- freeing orphan pointers is no longer reported since these can be
  false positives
- replaced some _rcu list traversal loops with their normal or _safe
  form

To do:

- better testing
- test Ingo's suggestion on task stacks scanning
- NUMA support
- (support for ioremap)
