617 This option enables code in the zsmalloc to collect various
618 statistics about whats happening in zsmalloc and exports that
619 information to userspace via debugfs.

632 This is the maximum stack size in Megabytes in the VM layout of 32-bit
633 user processes when the stack grows upwards (currently only on parisc
634 and metag arch). The stack will be located at the highest memory
635 address minus the given value, unless the RLIMIT_STACK hard limit is
636 changed to a smaller value in which case that is used.
637
638 A sane initial value is 80 MB.

650 help
651 Ordinarily all struct pages are initialised during early boot in a
652 single thread. On very large machines this can take a considerable
653 amount of time. If this option is set, large machines will bring up
654 a subset of memmap at boot and then initialise the rest in parallel
655 by starting one-off "pgdatinitX" kernel thread for each node X. This
656 has a potential performance impact on processes running early in the
657 lifetime of the system until these kthreads finish the
658 initialisation.

665 This feature allows to estimate the amount of user pages that have
666 not been touched during a given period of time. This information can
667 be useful to tune memory cgroup limits and/or for job placement
668 within a compute cluster.

684 Device memory hotplug support allows for establishing pmem,
