Extend memmap on extra space for more information on page. This
|

|
could be used for debugging features that need to insert extra
|

field for every page. This extension enables us to save memory

Unmap pages from the kernel linear mapping after free_pages().
|
||
|
Depending on runtime enablement, this results in a small or large
|
||
|
slowdown, but helps to find certain types of memory corruption.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Also, the state of page tracking structures is checked more often as
|
||
|
pages are being allocated and freed, as unexpected state changes
|
||
|
often happen for same reasons as memory corruption (e.g. double free,
|
||
|
use-after-free). The error reports for these checks can be augmented
|
||
|
with stack traces of last allocation and freeing of the page, when
|
||
|
PAGE_OWNER is also selected and enabled on boot.
|
||
|
|
||
|
For architectures which don't enable ARCH_SUPPORTS_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC,
|
||
|
fill the pages with poison patterns after free_pages() and verify
|
||
|
the patterns before alloc_pages(). Additionally, this option cannot
|
||
|
be enabled in combination with hibernation as that would result in
|
||
|
incorrect warnings of memory corruption after a resume because free
|
||
|
pages are not saved to the suspend image.
|
||
|
|
||
|
By default this option will have a small overhead, e.g. by not
|
||
|
allowing the kernel mapping to be backed by large pages on some
|
||
|
architectures. Even bigger overhead comes when the debugging is
|

enabled by DEBUG_PAGEALLOC_ENABLE_DEFAULT or the debug_pagealloc

Fill the pages with poison patterns after free_pages() and verify

reduce the risk of information leaks from freed data. This does

If you are only interested in sanitization of freed pages without

checking the poison pattern on alloc, you can boot the kernel with

Generate a warning if any W+X mappings are found at boot.

This is useful for discovering cases where the kernel is leaving W+X
|

|
mappings after applying NX, as such mappings are a security risk.
|

|
|
||
|
Look for a message in dmesg output like this:

||
|
|
||
|
<arch>/mm: Checked W+X mappings: passed, no W+X pages found.
|
||
|
|
||

or like this, if the check failed:
|
||
|
|
||
|
<arch>/mm: Checked W+X mappings: failed, <N> W+X pages found.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Note that even if the check fails, your kernel is possibly
|
||
|
still fine, as W+X mappings are not a security hole in
|
||
|
themselves, what they do is that they make the exploitation
|
||
|
of other unfixed kernel bugs easier.

There is no runtime or memory usage effect of this option
