2015-07-22linux_compat: handle __GFP_ZERO in kmalloc()Masahiro Yamada
Currently, kzalloc() returns zero-filled memory, while kmalloc() simply ignores the second argument and never fills the memory area with zeros. I want kmalloc(size, __GFP_ZERO) to behave as kzalloc() does, which will make it easier to add more memory allocator variants. With the introduction of __GFP_ZERO flag, going forward, kzmalloc() variants can fall back to kmalloc() enabling the __GFP_ZERO flag.

2015-07-22linux_compat: move vzalloc() to header file as an inline functionMasahiro Yamada
The vzalloc(size) is equivalent to kzalloc(size, 0). Move it to include/linux/compat.h as an inline function in order to avoid the function call overhead. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <[email protected]> Reviewed-by: Heiko Schocher <[email protected]> Acked-by: Simon Glass <[email protected]>
