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.

21 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,

24 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.

35 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

145 This is a feature to add tracepoint for tracking down page reference
146 manipulation. This tracking is useful to diagnose functional failure
147 due to migration failures caused by page reference mismatches. Be
148 careful when enabling this feature because it adds about 30 KB to the
149 kernel code. However the runtime performance overhead is virtually
150 nil until the tracepoints are actually enabled.

167 Generate a warning if any W+X mappings are found at boot.
168
169 This is useful for discovering cases where the kernel is leaving W+X
170 mappings after applying NX, as such mappings are a security risk.
171
172 Look for a message in dmesg output like this:
173
174 <arch>/mm: Checked W+X mappings: passed, no W+X pages found.
175
176 or like this, if the check failed:
177
178 <arch>/mm: Checked W+X mappings: failed, <N> W+X pages found.
179
180 Note that even if the check fails, your kernel is possibly
181 still fine, as W+X mappings are not a security hole in
182 themselves, what they do is that they make the exploitation
183 of other unfixed kernel bugs easier.

224 Say Y here if you want to enable the memory leak
225 detector. The memory allocation/freeing is traced in a way
226 similar to the Boehm's conservative garbage collector, the
227 difference being that the orphan objects are not freed but
228 only shown in /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak. Enabling this
229 feature will introduce an overhead to memory
230 allocations. See Documentation/dev-tools/kmemleak.rst for more
231 details.
232
233 Enabling DEBUG_SLAB or SLUB_DEBUG may increase the chances
234 of finding leaks due to the slab objects poisoning.
