Another problem, does there some way will initialize the shadow?
I only find the object has been initialized.

kmemcheck_slab_alloc()
...
/*
* Has already been memset(), which initializes the shadow for us
* as well.
*/
if (gfpflags & __GFP_ZERO)
return; ----> add kmemcheck_mark_initialized() ?
...

slab:
slab_alloc()
...
if (likely(objp))
kmemcheck_slab_alloc(cachep, flags, objp, cachep->object_size);

if (unlikely((flags & __GFP_ZERO) && objp))
memset(objp, 0, cachep->object_size);

return objp;

slub:
slab_alloc_node()
...
if (unlikely(gfpflags & __GFP_ZERO) && object)
memset(object, 0, s->object_size);

slab_post_alloc_hook(s, gfpflags, object);

return object;

The shadow memory which used for slab/slub is called from kmemcheck_alloc_shadow(),
and it will initialized *only* in kmemcheck_slab_alloc(), right?
