From: Pekka Enberg Fix kzalloc() and kstrdup() caller report for CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB. We must pass the caller to __cache_alloc() instead of directly doing __builtin_return_address(0) there; otherwise kzalloc() and kstrdup() are reported as the allocation site instead of the real one. Thanks to Valdis Kletnieks for reporting the problem and Steven Rostedt for the original idea.
