wuqiang.matt b4edb8d2d4 lib: objpool added: ring-array based lockless MPMC
objpool is a scalable implementation of high performance queue for
object allocation and reclamation, such as kretprobe instances.

With leveraging percpu ring-array to mitigate hot spots of memory
contention, it delivers near-linear scalability for high parallel
scenarios. The objpool is best suited for the following cases:
1) Memory allocation or reclamation are prohibited or too expensive
2) Consumers are of different priorities, such as irqs and threads

Limitations:
1) Maximum objects (capacity) is fixed after objpool creation
2) All pre-allocated objects are managed in percpu ring array,
   which consumes more memory than linked lists

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
