3 ---help---
4 Extend memmap on extra space for more information on page. This
5 could be used for debugging features that need to insert extra
6 field for every page. This extension enables us to save memory
7 by not allocating this extra memory according to boottime
8 configuration.

Christian Borntraegerea6eabb2016-03-15 14:55:30 -070018 Depending on runtime enablement, this results in a small or large
19 slowdown, but helps to find certain types of memory corruption.

Akinobu Mita7bc32f62011-03-22 16:32:46 -070021 For architectures which don't enable ARCH_SUPPORTS_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC,
22 fill the pages with poison patterns after free_pages() and verify
23 the patterns before alloc_pages(). Additionally,
24 this option cannot be enabled in combination with hibernation as
25 that would result in incorrect warnings of memory corruption after
26 a resume because free pages are not saved to the suspend image.

Christian Borntraegerea6eabb2016-03-15 14:55:30 -070028 By default this option will have a small overhead, e.g. by not
29 allowing the kernel mapping to be backed by large pages on some
30 architectures. Even bigger overhead comes when the debugging is
31 enabled by DEBUG_PAGEALLOC_ENABLE_DEFAULT or the debug_pagealloc
32 command line parameter.

72 Instead of using the existing poison value, fill the pages with
73 zeros. This makes it harder to detect when errors are occurring
74 due to sanitization but the zeroing at free means that it is
75 no longer necessary to write zeros when GFP_ZERO is used on
76 allocation.

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