Revert "mm/slub: use stackdepot to save stack trace in objects"
This reverts commit 788691464c29455346dc613a3b43c2fb9e5757a4. It's not clear why, but it causes unexplained problems in entirely unrelated xfs code. The most likely explanation is some slab corruption, possibly triggered due to CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG_ON. See [1]. It ends up having a few other problems too, like build errors on arch/arc, and Geert reporting it using much more memory on m68k [3] (it probably does so elsewhere too, but it is probably just more noticeable on m68k). The architecture issues (both build and memory use) are likely just because this change effectively force-enabled STACKDEPOT (along with a very bad default value for the stackdepot hash size). But together with the xfs issue, this all smells like "this commit was not ready" to me.

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.
