  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.
  
  	  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 random data"
  	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
  	bool
  
  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.
