mm: remove redundant 'default n' from Kconfig-s

2019-05-14T16:47:50+00:00

'default n' is the default value for any bool or tristate Kconfig
setting so there is no need to write it explicitly.

Also since commit f467c5640c29 ("kconfig: only write '# CONFIG_FOO
is not set' for visible symbols") the Kconfig behavior is the same
regardless of 'default n' being present or not:

    ...
    One side effect of (and the main motivation for) this change is making
    the following two definitions behave exactly the same:

        config FOO
                bool

        config FOO
                bool
                default n

    With this change, neither of these will generate a
    '# CONFIG_FOO is not set' line (assuming FOO isn't selected/implied).
    That might make it clearer to people that a bare 'default n' is
    redundant.

mm: clarify CONFIG_PAGE_POISONING and usage

2018-08-22T17:52:44+00:00

The Kconfig text for CONFIG_PAGE_POISONING doesn't mention that it has to
be enabled explicitly.  This updates the documentation for that and adds a
note about CONFIG_PAGE_POISONING to the "page_poison" command line docs.
While here, change description of CONFIG_PAGE_POISONING_ZERO too, as it's
not "random" data, but rather the fixed debugging value that would be used
when not zeroing.  Additionally removes a stray "bool" in the Kconfig.

mm: enable page poisoning early at boot

2017-05-03T22:52:10+00:00

On SPARSEMEM systems page poisoning is enabled after buddy is up,
because of the dependency on page extension init.  This causes the pages
released by free_all_bootmem not to be poisoned.  This either delays or
misses the identification of some issues because the pages have to
undergo another cycle of alloc-free-alloc for any corruption to be
detected.

Enable page poisoning early by getting rid of the PAGE_EXT_DEBUG_POISON
flag.  Since all the free pages will now be poisoned, the flag need not
be verified before checking the poison during an alloc.

mm: add arch-independent testcases for RODATA

2017-02-28T02:43:48+00:00

This patch makes arch-independent testcases for RODATA.  Both x86 and
x86_64 already have testcases for RODATA, But they are arch-specific
because using inline assembly directly.

And cacheflush.h is not a suitable location for rodata-test related
things.  Since they were in cacheflush.h, If someone change the state of
CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA_TEST, It cause overhead of kernel build.

To solve the above issues, write arch-independent testcases and move it
to shared location.

PM / Hibernate: allow hibernation with PAGE_POISONING_ZERO

2016-09-13T00:35:27+00:00

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.

mm/page_ref: add tracepoint to track down page reference manipulation

2016-03-17T22:09:34+00:00

CMA allocation should be guaranteed to succeed by definition, but,
unfortunately, it would be failed sometimes.  It is hard to track down
the problem, because it is related to page reference manipulation and we
don't have any facility to analyze it.

This patch adds tracepoints to track down page reference manipulation.
With it, we can find exact reason of failure and can fix the problem.
Following is an example of tracepoint output.  (note: this example is
stale version that printing flags as the number.  Recent version will
print it as human readable string.)

<...>-9018  [004]    92.678375: page_ref_set:         pfn=0x17ac9 flags=0x0 count=1 mapcount=0 mapping=(nil) mt=4 val=1

This output shows that problem comes from exit path.  In exit path, to
improve performance, pages are not freed immediately.  They are gathered
and processed by batch.  During this process, migration cannot be
possible and CMA allocation is failed.  This problem is hard to find
without this page reference tracepoint facility.

Enabling this feature bloat kernel text 30 KB in my configuration.

   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename

12157208        2258880 1507328 15923416         f2f8d8 vmlinux_enabled

Note that, due to header file dependency problem between mm.h and
tracepoint.h, this feature has to open code the static key functions for
tracepoints.  Proposed by Steven Rostedt in following link.

mm/page_poisoning.c: allow for zero poisoning

2016-03-15T23:55:16+00:00

By default, page poisoning uses a poison value (0xaa) on free.  If this
is changed to 0, the page is not only sanitized but zeroing on alloc
with __GFP_ZERO can be skipped as well.  The tradeoff is that detecting
corruption from the poisoning is harder to detect.  This feature also
cannot be used with hibernation since pages are not guaranteed to be
zeroed after hibernation.
