The commit 2d4f567103ff ("KVM: PPC: Introduce kvm_tmp framework") adds
kvm_tmp[] into the .bss section and then free the rest of unused spaces
back to the page allocator.
kernel_init
kvm_guest_init
kvm_free_tmp
free_reserved_area
free_unref_page
free_unref_page_prepare
With DEBUG_PAGEALLOC=y, it will unmap those pages from kernel. As the
result, kmemleak scan will trigger a panic below when it scans the .bss
section with unmapped pages.
Since this is done way before the first kmemleak_scan(), just go
lockless to make the implementation simple and skip those pages when
scanning the .bss section. Later, those pages could be tracked by
kmemleak again once allocated by the page allocator. Overall, this is
such a special case, so no need to make it a generic to let kmemleak
gain an ability to skip blocks in scan_large_block() for now.
