Since commit 84af7a6194 ("checkpatch: kconfig: prefer 'help' over
'---help---'"), the number of '---help---' has been gradually
decreasing, but there are still more than 2400 instances.
This commit finishes the conversion. While I touched the lines,
I also fixed the indentation.
There are a variety of indentation styles found.
a) 4 spaces + '---help---'
b) 7 spaces + '---help---'
c) 8 spaces + '---help---'
d) 1 space + 1 tab + '---help---'
e) 1 tab + '---help---' (correct indentation)
f) 1 tab + 1 space + '---help---'
g) 1 tab + 2 spaces + '---help---'
In order to convert all of them to 1 tab + 'help', I ran the
following commend:
$ find . -name 'Kconfig*' | xargs sed -i 's/^[[:space:]]*---help---/\thelp/'

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.
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
command line parameter.

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.

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

poison on free. This reduces some of the overhead of the

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.

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.

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".
