Joonsoo Kimeefa864b2014-12-12 16:55:46 -08005 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.

Christian Borntraegerea6eabb2016-03-15 14:55:30 -070018 Depending on runtime enablement, this results in a small or large
19 slowdown, but helps to find certain types of memory corruption.

Vlastimil Babka4462b322019-07-11 20:55:09 -070021 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,
Vlastimil Babka89745582019-09-23 15:34:42 -070024 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.

Akinobu Mita7bc32f62011-03-22 16:32:46 -070028 For architectures which don't enable ARCH_SUPPORTS_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC,
29 fill the pages with poison patterns after free_pages() and verify
Vlastimil Babka4462b322019-07-11 20:55:09 -070030 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.

Christian Borntraegerea6eabb2016-03-15 14:55:30 -070035 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.

Vlastimil Babka07f5a282020-12-14 19:13:41 -080077 If you are only interested in sanitization of freed pages without

79 "init_on_free=1" instead of enabling this.

89 due to sanitization but the zeroing at free means that it is
90 no longer necessary to write zeros when GFP_ZERO is used on

Joonsoo Kim95813b82016-03-17 14:19:29 -0700100 This is a feature to add tracepoint for tracking down page reference
101 manipulation. This tracking is useful to diagnose functional failure
102 due to migration failures caused by page reference mismatches. Be
103 careful when enabling this feature because it adds about 30 KB to the
104 kernel code. However the runtime performance overhead is virtually
105 nil until the tracepoints are actually enabled.

122 Generate a warning if any W+X mappings are found at boot.
123
124 This is useful for discovering cases where the kernel is leaving W+X
125 mappings after applying NX, as such mappings are a security risk.
126
127 Look for a message in dmesg output like this:
128
129 <arch>/mm: Checked W+X mappings: passed, no W+X pages found.
130
131 or like this, if the check failed:
132
133 <arch>/mm: Checked W+X mappings: failed, <N> W+X pages found.
134
135 Note that even if the check fails, your kernel is possibly
136 still fine, as W+X mappings are not a security hole in
137 themselves, what they do is that they make the exploitation
138 of other unfixed kernel bugs easier.
139
140 There is no runtime or memory usage effect of this option
141 once the kernel has booted up - it's a one time check.
