32 A lightweight compressed cache for swap pages. It takes
33 pages that are in the process of being swapped out and attempts to
34 compress them into a dynamically allocated RAM-based memory pool.

39 This is marked experimental because it is a new feature (as of
40 v3.11) that interacts heavily with memory reclaim. While these

246 This carries a risk of kernel heap overflows being able to
247 overwrite objects from merged caches (and more easily control
248 cache layout), which makes such heap attacks easier to exploit
249 by attackers. By keeping caches unmerged, these kinds of exploits

303 Randomization of the page allocator improves the average
304 utilization of a direct-mapped memory-side-cache. See section
305 5.2.27 Heterogeneous Memory Attribute Table (HMAT) in the ACPI
306 6.2a specification for an example of how a platform advertises
307 the presence of a memory-side-cache. There are also incidental
308 security benefits as it reduces the predictability of page
309 allocations to compliment SLAB_FREELIST_RANDOM, but the
310 default granularity of shuffling on the "MAX_ORDER - 1" i.e,
311 10th order of pages is selected based on cache utilization
312 benefits on x86.
313
314 While the randomization improves cache utilization it may
315 negatively impact workloads on platforms without a cache. For
316 this reason, by default, the randomization is enabled only
317 after runtime detection of a direct-mapped memory-side-cache.
318 Otherwise, the randomization may be force enabled with the

340 Normally, and according to the Linux spec, anonymous memory obtained
341 from mmap() has its contents cleared before it is passed to

343 mmap() skip that if it is given an MAP_UNINITIALIZED flag, thus
344 providing a huge performance boost. If this option is not enabled,
345 then the flag will be ignored.
346
347 This is taken advantage of by uClibc's malloc(), and also by
348 ELF-FDPIC binfmt's brk and stack allocator.
349
350 Because of the obvious security issues, this option should only be
351 enabled on embedded devices where you control what is run in

557 Memory fragmentation introduced by ballooning might reduce
558 significantly the number of 2MB contiguous memory blocks that can be
559 used within a guest, thus imposing performance penalties associated
560 with the reduced number of transparent huge pages that could be used
561 by the guest workload. Allowing the compaction & migration for memory
562 pages enlisted as being part of memory balloon devices avoids the

706 The NOMMU mmap() frequently needs to allocate large contiguous chunks
707 of memory on which to store mappings, but it can only ask the system
708 allocator for chunks in 2^N*PAGE_SIZE amounts - which is frequently
709 more than it requires. To deal with this, mmap() is able to trim off
710 the excess and return it to the allocator.
711
712 If trimming is enabled, the excess is trimmed off and returned to the
713 system allocator, which can cause extra fragmentation, particularly
714 if there are a lot of transient processes.
715
716 If trimming is disabled, the excess is kept, but not used, which for
717 long-term mappings means that the space is wasted.
718
719 Trimming can be dynamically controlled through a sysctl option
720 (/proc/sys/vm/nr_trim_pages) which specifies the minimum number of
721 excess pages there must be before trimming should occur, or zero if
722 no trimming is to occur.
723
724 This option specifies the initial value of this option. The default
725 of 1 says that all excess pages should be trimmed.

1021 information includes global and per chunk statistics, which can
1022 be used to help understand percpu memory usage.

1028 Provides /sys/kernel/debug/gup_test, which in turn provides a way
1029 to make ioctl calls that can launch kernel-based unit tests for
1030 the get_user_pages*() and pin_user_pages*() family of API calls.

1032 These tests include benchmark testing of the _fast variants of
1033 get_user_pages*() and pin_user_pages*(), as well as smoke tests of
1034 the non-_fast variants.

1036 There is also a sub-test that allows running dump_page() on any
1037 of up to eight pages (selected by command line args) within the
1038 range of user-space addresses. These pages are either pinned via
1039 pin_user_pages*(), or pinned via get_user_pages*(), as specified
1040 by other command line arguments.

1084 Allow naming anonymous virtual memory areas.
1085
1086 This feature allows assigning names to virtual memory areas. Assigned
1087 names can be later retrieved from /proc/pid/maps and /proc/pid/smaps
1088 and help identifying individual anonymous memory areas.
1089 Assigning a name to anonymous virtual memory area might prevent that
1090 area from being merged with adjacent virtual memory areas due to the
1091 difference in their name.
