  	  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.

  	help
  	  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
  	  once the kernel has booted up - it's a one time check.
  
  	  If in doubt, say "Y".
