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.

18 Unmap pages from the kernel linear mapping after free_pages().
Christian Borntraegerea6eabb2016-03-15 14:55:30 -070019 Depending on runtime enablement, this results in a small or large
20 slowdown, but helps to find certain types of memory corruption.

Akinobu Mita7bc32f62011-03-22 16:32:46 -070022 For architectures which don't enable ARCH_SUPPORTS_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC,
23 fill the pages with poison patterns after free_pages() and verify
24 the patterns before alloc_pages(). Additionally,
25 this option cannot be enabled in combination with hibernation as
26 that would result in incorrect warnings of memory corruption after
27 a resume because free pages are not saved to the suspend image.
28
Christian Borntraegerea6eabb2016-03-15 14:55:30 -070029 By default this option will have a small overhead, e.g. by not
30 allowing the kernel mapping to be backed by large pages on some
31 architectures. Even bigger overhead comes when the debugging is
32 enabled by DEBUG_PAGEALLOC_ENABLE_DEFAULT or the debug_pagealloc
33 command line parameter.

39 SLUB has a resiliency feature enabled which restores bytes in
40 order for production environments to continue to operate. IN
41 debug options this may not be desirable as it prevents from
42 investigating the root cause which may be rooted within cache
43 or memory.

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

63 Note that "poison" here is not the same thing as the "HWPoison"
64 for CONFIG_MEMORY_FAILURE. This is software poisoning only.

92 ---help---
93 Instead of using the existing poison value, fill the pages with
94 zeros. This makes it harder to detect when errors are occurring
95 due to sanitization but the zeroing at free means that it is
96 no longer necessary to write zeros when GFP_ZERO is used on
97 allocation.

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