238 For reduced kernel memory fragmentation, slab caches can be
239 merged when they share the same size and other characteristics.
240 This carries a risk of kernel heap overflows being able to
241 overwrite objects from merged caches (and more easily control
242 cache layout), which makes such heap attacks easier to exploit
243 by attackers. By keeping caches unmerged, these kinds of exploits

297 Randomization of the page allocator improves the average

299 5.2.27 Heterogeneous Memory Attribute Table (HMAT) in the ACPI
300 6.2a specification for an example of how a platform advertises
301 the presence of a memory-side-cache. There are also incidental
302 security benefits as it reduces the predictability of page
303 allocations to compliment SLAB_FREELIST_RANDOM, but the
304 default granularity of shuffling on the "MAX_ORDER - 1" i.e,
305 10th order of pages is selected based on cache utilization
306 benefits on x86.
307
308 While the randomization improves cache utilization it may
309 negatively impact workloads on platforms without a cache. For
310 this reason, by default, the randomization is enabled only
311 after runtime detection of a direct-mapped memory-side-cache.

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

341 This is taken advantage of by uClibc's malloc(), and also by
342 ELF-FDPIC binfmt's brk and stack allocator.

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
