Page poisoning is currently set up as a feature if architectures don't have architecture debug page_alloc to allow unmapping of pages. It has uses apart from that though. Clearing of the pages on free provides an increase in security as it helps to limit the risk of information leaks. Allow page poisoning to be enabled as a separate option independent of kernel_map pages since the two features do separate work. Because of how hiberanation is implemented, the checks on alloc cannot occur if hibernation is enabled. The runtime alloc checks can also be enabled with an option when !HIBERNATION.

|
|
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.

---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

|
|
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.
