[PATCH v8 0/5] 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 scalability of kretprobed routines.

v8:
  1) objpool: refcount added for objpool lifecycle management

v7:
  1) objpool: implementation simplified as Masami advised
  2) rethook_alloc: error codes returning supported (ERR_PTR)
  3) MAINTAINERS: support added for objpool files
  4) synced to latest 6.1 with x86_64/x86/aarch64 verified

wuqiang (5):
  lib: objpool added: ring-array based lockless MPMC queue
  lib: objpool test module added
  kprobes: kretprobe scalability improvement with objpool
  kprobes: freelist.h removed
  MAINTAINERS: objpool added
