Extend memmap on extra space for more information on page. This
|
||
|
|
could be used for debugging features that need to insert extra
|
||
|
|
field for every page. This extension enables us to save memory
|
||
|
|
by not allocating this extra memory according to boottime
|
||
|
|
configuration.

Unmap pages from the kernel linear mapping after free_pages().
|
||
|
|
Depending on runtime enablement, this results in a small or large
|
||
|
|
slowdown, but helps to find certain types of memory corruption.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For architectures which don't enable ARCH_SUPPORTS_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC,
|
||
|
|
fill the pages with poison patterns after free_pages() and verify
|
||
|
|
the patterns before alloc_pages(). Additionally,
|
||
|
|
this option cannot be enabled in combination with hibernation as
|
||
|
|
that would result in incorrect warnings of memory corruption after
|
||
|
|
a resume because free pages are not saved to the suspend image.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
By default this option will have a small overhead, e.g. by not
|
||
|
|
allowing the kernel mapping to be backed by large pages on some
|
||
|
|
architectures. Even bigger overhead comes when the debugging is
|
||
|
|
enabled by DEBUG_PAGEALLOC_ENABLE_DEFAULT or the debug_pagealloc
|
||
|
|
command line parameter.

Fill the pages with poison patterns after free_pages() and verify
|
||
|
|
the patterns before alloc_pages. The filling of the memory helps
|
||
|
|
reduce the risk of information leaks from freed data. This does
|
||
|
|
have a potential performance impact.
|
||
|
|
|

Note that "poison" here is not the same thing as the "HWPoison"
|

|

for CONFIG_MEMORY_FAILURE. This is software poisoning only.

---help---
|

Skip the sanity checking on alloc, only fill the pages with

poison on free. This reduces some of the overhead of the
|
||
|
|
poisoning feature.
|

If you are only interested in sanitization, say Y. Otherwise

say N.

---help---
|

|
|
Instead of using the existing poison value, fill the pages with
|
||
|
|
zeros. This makes it harder to detect when errors are occurring
|
||
|
|
due to sanitization but the zeroing at free means that it is
|
||

no longer necessary to write zeros when GFP_ZERO is used on

allocation.

|

---help---
|
||
|
|
This is a feature to add tracepoint for tracking down page reference
|
||
|
|
manipulation. This tracking is useful to diagnose functional failure
|
||
|
|
due to migration failures caused by page reference mismatches. Be
|
||
|
|
careful when enabling this feature because it adds about 30 KB to the
|
||
|
|
kernel code. However the runtime performance overhead is virtually
|
||
|
|
nil until the tracepoints are actually enabled.
