Merge tag 'kmemleak-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/cmarinas/linux-aarch64
Pull kmemleak patches from Catalin Marinas: "Kmemleak now scans all the writable and non-executable module sections to avoid false positives (previously it was only scanning specific sections and missing .ref.data)." * tag 'kmemleak-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/cmarinas/linux-aarch64: kmemleak: No need for scanning specific module sections kmemleak: Scan all allocated, writeable and not executable module sections
