The trick is that we do the kernel linear mapping TLB miss starting with an instruction sequence like this: ba,pt %xcc, kvmap_load xor %g2, %g4, %g5 succeeded by an instruction sequence which performs a full page table walk starting at swapper_pg_dir. We first take over the trap table from the firmware. Then, using this constant PTE generation for the linear mapping area above, we build the kernel page tables for the linear mapping. After this is setup, we patch that branch above into a "nop", which will cause TLB misses to fall through to the full page table walk. With this, the page unmapping for CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC is trivial. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Enables the display of the minimum amount of free stack which each

task has ever had available in the sysrq-T and sysrq-P debug output.

This option will slow down process creation somewhat.

Kprobes allows you to trap at almost any kernel address and
|
|
execute a callback function. register_kprobe() establishes
|
|
a probepoint and specifies the callback. Kprobes is useful
|
|
for kernel debugging, non-intrusive instrumentation and testing.
|

If in doubt, say "N".

Unmap pages from the kernel linear mapping after free_pages().

This results in a large slowdown, but helps to find certain types
|

of memory corruptions.
