[PATCH v5 0/4] lib,kprobes: kretprobe scalability improvement

[wuqiang]

This patch series introduces a scalable and lockless ring-array based
object pool and replaces the original freelist (a LIFO queue based on
singly linked list) to improve the scalability of kretprobed routines.

Changes from v4:
  1) compiling failure with [-Werror=designated-init]
  2) compiling failure for sparc: prefetch() not defined
  3) comments & codes of objpool routines refined

v4 and more:
