+config PAGE_EXTENSION
+ bool "Extend memmap on extra space for more information on page"
+ ---help---
+ 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
+ by not allocating this extra memory according to boottime
+ configuration.
+
+config DEBUG_PAGEALLOC
+ bool "Debug page memory allocations"
+ depends on DEBUG_KERNEL
+ depends on !HIBERNATION || ARCH_SUPPORTS_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC && !PPC && !SPARC
+ select PAGE_EXTENSION
+ select PAGE_POISONING if !ARCH_SUPPORTS_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC
+ ---help---
+ 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.
+
+ 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
+ command line parameter.
+
+config DEBUG_PAGEALLOC_ENABLE_DEFAULT
+ bool "Enable debug page memory allocations by default?"
+ default n
+ depends on DEBUG_PAGEALLOC
+ ---help---
+ Enable debug page memory allocations by default? This value
+ can be overridden by debug_pagealloc=off|on.
+
+config PAGE_POISONING
+ bool "Poison pages after freeing"
+ select PAGE_POISONING_NO_SANITY if HIBERNATION
+ ---help---
+ Fill the pages with poison patterns after free_pages() and verify
+ the patterns before alloc_pages. The filling of the memory helps
+ reduce the risk of information leaks from freed data. This does
+ have a potential performance impact if enabled with the
+ "page_poison=1" kernel boot option.
+
+ Note that "poison" here is not the same thing as the "HWPoison"
+ for CONFIG_MEMORY_FAILURE. This is software poisoning only.
+
+ If unsure, say N
+
+config PAGE_POISONING_NO_SANITY
+ depends on PAGE_POISONING
+ bool "Only poison, don't sanity check"
+ ---help---
+ Skip the sanity checking on alloc, only fill the pages with
+ poison on free. This reduces some of the overhead of the
+ poisoning feature.
+
+ If you are only interested in sanitization, say Y. Otherwise
+ say N.
+
+config PAGE_POISONING_ZERO
+ bool "Use zero for poisoning instead of debugging value"
+ depends on PAGE_POISONING
+ ---help---
+ Instead of using the existing poison value, fill the pages with
+ zeros. This makes it harder to detect when errors are occurring
+ due to sanitization but the zeroing at free means that it is
+ no longer necessary to write zeros when GFP_ZERO is used on
+ allocation.
+
+ If unsure, say N
+
+config DEBUG_PAGE_REF
+ bool "Enable tracepoint to track down page reference manipulation"
+ depends on DEBUG_KERNEL
+ depends on TRACEPOINTS
+ ---help---
+ This is a feature to add tracepoint for tracking down page reference
+ manipulation. This tracking is useful to diagnose functional failure
+ due to migration failures caused by page reference mismatches. Be
+ careful when enabling this feature because it adds about 30 KB to the
+ kernel code. However the runtime performance overhead is virtually
+ nil until the tracepoints are actually enabled.
+
+config DEBUG_RODATA_TEST
+ bool "Testcase for the marking rodata read-only"
+ depends on STRICT_KERNEL_RWX
+ ---help---
+ This option enables a testcase for the setting rodata read-only.
