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

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.

Joonsoo Kim95813b82016-03-17 14:19:29 -0700104 This is a feature to add tracepoint for tracking down page reference
105 manipulation. This tracking is useful to diagnose functional failure
106 due to migration failures caused by page reference mismatches. Be
107 careful when enabling this feature because it adds about 30 KB to the
108 kernel code. However the runtime performance overhead is virtually
109 nil until the tracepoints are actually enabled.

126 Generate a warning if any W+X mappings are found at boot.
127
128 This is useful for discovering cases where the kernel is leaving W+X
129 mappings after applying NX, as such mappings are a security risk.
130
131 Look for a message in dmesg output like this:
132
133 <arch>/mm: Checked W+X mappings: passed, no W+X pages found.
134
135 or like this, if the check failed:
136
137 <arch>/mm: Checked W+X mappings: failed, <N> W+X pages found.
138
139 Note that even if the check fails, your kernel is possibly
140 still fine, as W+X mappings are not a security hole in
141 themselves, what they do is that they make the exploitation
142 of other unfixed kernel bugs easier.
143
144 There is no runtime or memory usage effect of this option
145 once the kernel has booted up - it's a one time check.
