4 Extend memmap on extra space for more information on page. This
5 could be used for debugging features that need to insert extra
6 field for every page. This extension enables us to save memory
7 by not allocating this extra memory according to boottime
8 configuration.

18 Unmap pages from the kernel linear mapping after free_pages().
Christian Borntraegerea6eabb2016-03-15 14:55:30 -070019 Depending on runtime enablement, this results in a small or large
20 slowdown, but helps to find certain types of memory corruption.

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.
