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

21 Also, the state of page tracking structures is checked more often as
22 pages are being allocated and freed, as unexpected state changes
23 often happen for same reasons as memory corruption (e.g. double free,

24 use-after-free). The error reports for these checks can be augmented
25 with stack traces of last allocation and freeing of the page, when
26 PAGE_OWNER is also selected and enabled on boot.

28 For architectures which don't enable ARCH_SUPPORTS_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC,
29 fill the pages with poison patterns after free_pages() and verify
4462b32c

30 the patterns before alloc_pages(). Additionally, this option cannot
31 be enabled in combination with hibernation as that would result in
32 incorrect warnings of memory corruption after a resume because free
33 pages are not saved to the suspend image.

35 By default this option will have a small overhead, e.g. by not
36 allowing the kernel mapping to be backed by large pages on some
37 architectures. Even bigger overhead comes when the debugging is
38 enabled by DEBUG_PAGEALLOC_ENABLE_DEFAULT or the debug_pagealloc
39 command line parameter.

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

86 poisoning feature.

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

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

130 Generate a warning if any W+X mappings are found at boot.
131
132 This is useful for discovering cases where the kernel is leaving W+X
133 mappings after applying NX, as such mappings are a security risk.
134
135 Look for a message in dmesg output like this:
136
137 <arch>/mm: Checked W+X mappings: passed, no W+X pages found.
138
139 or like this, if the check failed:
140
141 <arch>/mm: Checked W+X mappings: failed, <N> W+X pages found.
142
143 Note that even if the check fails, your kernel is possibly
144 still fine, as W+X mappings are not a security hole in
145 themselves, what they do is that they make the exploitation
146 of other unfixed kernel bugs easier.
147
148 There is no runtime or memory usage effect of this option
149 once the kernel has booted up - it's a one time check.
