In kernel 4.17.0-rcX, kmemleak reports 9 leaks with tracebacks similar to
the following:
unreferenced object 0xffff880224a077e0 (size 72):
comm "swapper/0", pid 1, jiffies 4294892358 (age 1022.636s)
hex dump (first 32 bytes):

According to gdb, the offending code is
object =
acpi_ut_allocate_object_desc_dbg(module_name, line_number,
component_id);
As it is not possible to unload the ACPI code to test that this is a real
leak and not a false positive, and that only these 9 appear no matter how
long the system is up, a kmemleak_not_leak(object) call is inserted.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
