PAGE_POISONING_ZERO disables zeroing new pages on alloc, they are poisoned (zeroed) as they become available. In the hibernate use case, free pages will appear in the system without being cleared, left there by the loading kernel. This patch will make sure free pages are cleared on resume when PAGE_POISONING_ZERO is enabled. We free the pages just after resume because we can't do it later: going through any device resume code might allocate some memory and invalidate the free pages bitmap. Thus we don't need to disable hibernation when PAGE_POISONING_ZERO is enabled.

|
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.

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.

Skip the sanity checking on alloc, only fill the pages with

poisoning feature.

|

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.

---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.
