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.

Akinobu Mita7bc32f62011-03-22 16:32:46 -070022 For architectures which don't enable ARCH_SUPPORTS_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC,
23 fill the pages with poison patterns after free_pages() and verify
24 the patterns before alloc_pages(). Additionally,
25 this option cannot be enabled in combination with hibernation as
26 that would result in incorrect warnings of memory corruption after
27 a resume because free pages are not saved to the suspend image.

Christian Borntraegerea6eabb2016-03-15 14:55:30 -070029 By default this option will have a small overhead, e.g. by not
30 allowing the kernel mapping to be backed by large pages on some
31 architectures. Even bigger overhead comes when the debugging is
32 enabled by DEBUG_PAGEALLOC_ENABLE_DEFAULT or the debug_pagealloc
33 command line parameter.

93 allocation.

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