vmalloc: add __get_vm_area_caller()
We have get_vm_area_caller() and __get_vm_area() but not __get_vm_area_caller() On powerpc, I use __get_vm_area() to separate the ranges of addresses given to vmalloc vs. ioremap (various good reasons for that) so in order to be able to implement the new caller tracking in /proc/vmallocinfo, I need a "_caller" variant of it. (akpm: needed for ongoing powerpc development, so merge it early) [akpm@linux-foundation.org: coding-style fixes] Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Reviewed-by: KOSAKI Motohiro <kosaki.motohiro@jp.fujitsu.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
