| 17 | This option enables tracing of dynamically allocated kernel memory |
| 18 | to see if memory is used before it has been given an initial value. |
| 19 | Be aware that this requires half of your memory for bookkeeping and |
| 20 | will insert extra code at *every* read and write to tracked memory |
| 21 | thus slow down the kernel code (but user code is unaffected). |
| 22 | |
| 23 | The kernel may be started with kmemcheck=0 or kmemcheck=1 to disable |
| 24 | or enable kmemcheck at boot-time. If the kernel is started with |
| 25 | kmemcheck=0, the large memory and CPU overhead is not incurred. |
