Kernel config is at http://I-love.SAKURA.ne.jp/tmp/config-3.10-rc1-kmemcheck
Full dmesg is at http://I-love.SAKURA.ne.jp/tmp/dmesg-3.10-rc1-kmemcheck.txt
By applying below patch, "uninitialized memory" warnings are gone. But it seems
that memory corruption bug is remaining. Thus, 'some field of "struct anon_vma"
and "struct anon_vma_chain" are not initialized' might be caused by SLUB's
problem. (Full dmesg after applying below patch is at
http://I-love.SAKURA.ne.jp/tmp/dmesg-3.10-rc1-kmemcheck2.txt )
Regards.

Subject: [PATCH] mm: Fix kmemcheck warning.
Some field of "struct anon_vma" and "struct anon_vma_chain" are not
initialized, resulting kmemcheck warning.
(NOTE: This will likely be a wrong fix. Don't apply blindly.)
