4 ---help---
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.

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.

56 This keeps track of what call chain is the owner of a page, may

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.
