config PAGE_EXTENSION
bool "Extend memmap on extra space for more information on page"
help
Extend memmap on extra space for more information on page. This
could be used for debugging features that need to insert extra
field for every page. This extension enables us to save memory
by not allocating this extra memory according to boottime
configuration.
config DEBUG_PAGEALLOC
bool "Debug page memory allocations"
depends on DEBUG_KERNEL
depends on !HIBERNATION || ARCH_SUPPORTS_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC && !PPC && !SPARC
select PAGE_POISONING if !ARCH_SUPPORTS_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC
help
Unmap pages from the kernel linear mapping after free_pages().
Depending on runtime enablement, this results in a small or large
slowdown, but helps to find certain types of memory corruption.
Also, the state of page tracking structures is checked more often as
pages are being allocated and freed, as unexpected state changes
often happen for same reasons as memory corruption (e.g. double free,
use-after-free). The error reports for these checks can be augmented
with stack traces of last allocation and freeing of the page, when
PAGE_OWNER is also selected and enabled on boot.
For architectures which don't enable ARCH_SUPPORTS_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC,
fill the pages with poison patterns after free_pages() and verify
the patterns before alloc_pages(). Additionally, this option cannot
be enabled in combination with hibernation as that would result in
incorrect warnings of memory corruption after a resume because free
pages are not saved to the suspend image.
By default this option will have a small overhead, e.g. by not
allowing the kernel mapping to be backed by large pages on some
architectures. Even bigger overhead comes when the debugging is
enabled by DEBUG_PAGEALLOC_ENABLE_DEFAULT or the debug_pagealloc
command line parameter.
config DEBUG_PAGEALLOC_ENABLE_DEFAULT
bool "Enable debug page memory allocations by default?"
depends on DEBUG_PAGEALLOC
help
Enable debug page memory allocations by default? This value
can be overridden by debug_pagealloc=off|on.
config PAGE_POISONING
bool "Poison pages after freeing"
help
Fill the pages with poison patterns after free_pages() and verify
the patterns before alloc_pages. The filling of the memory helps
reduce the risk of information leaks from freed data. This does
have a potential performance impact if enabled with the
"page_poison=1" kernel boot option.
Note that "poison" here is not the same thing as the "HWPoison"
for CONFIG_MEMORY_FAILURE. This is software poisoning only.
If you are only interested in sanitization of freed pages without
checking the poison pattern on alloc, you can boot the kernel with
"init_on_free=1" instead of enabling this.
If unsure, say N
config DEBUG_PAGE_REF
bool "Enable tracepoint to track down page reference manipulation"
depends on DEBUG_KERNEL
depends on TRACEPOINTS
help
This is a feature to add tracepoint for tracking down page reference
manipulation. This tracking is useful to diagnose functional failure
due to migration failures caused by page reference mismatches. Be
careful when enabling this feature because it adds about 30 KB to the
kernel code. However the runtime performance overhead is virtually
nil until the tracepoints are actually enabled.
config DEBUG_RODATA_TEST
bool "Testcase for the marking rodata read-only"
depends on STRICT_KERNEL_RWX
help
This option enables a testcase for the setting rodata read-only.
