add proper SWAP support to them, in which case this can be remove.

config ARCH_NO_SWAP bool

config ZPOOL bool

menuconfig SWAP bool "Support for paging of anonymous memory (swap)" depends on MMU && BLOCK && !ARCH_NO_SWAP default y help This option allows you to choose whether you want to have support for so called swap devices or swap files in your kernel that are used to provide more virtual memory than the actual RAM present in your computer. If unsure say Y.

config ZSWAP bool "Compressed cache for swap pages" depends on SWAP select CRYPTO select ZPOOL help A lightweight compressed cache for swap pages. It takes pages that are in the process of being swapped out and attempts to compress them into a dynamically allocated RAM-based memory pool. This can result in a significant I/O reduction on swap device and, in the case where decompressing from RAM is faster than swap device reads, can also improve workload performance.

config ZSWAP_DEFAULT_ON bool "Enable the compressed cache for swap pages by default" depends on ZSWAP help If selected, the compressed cache for swap pages will be enabled at boot, otherwise it will be disabled.

  The selection made here can be overridden by using the kernel
  command line 'zswap.enabled=' option.

config ZSWAP_SHRINKER_DEFAULT_ON bool "Shrink the zswap pool on memory pressure" depends on ZSWAP default n help If selected, the zswap shrinker will be enabled, and the pages stored in the zswap pool will become available for reclaim (i.e written back to the backing swap device) on memory pressure.

  This means that zswap writeback could happen even if the pool is
  not yet full, or the cgroup zswap limit has not been reached,
  reducing the chance that cold pages will reside in the zswap pool
  and consume memory indefinitely.

config ZBUD tristate "2:1 compression allocator (zbud)" depends on ZSWAP help A special purpose allocator for storing compressed pages. It is designed to store up to two compressed pages per physical page. While this design limits storage density, it has simple and deterministic reclaim properties that make it preferable to a higher density approach when reclaim will be used.

config Z3FOLD tristate "3:1 compression allocator (z3fold)" depends on ZSWAP help A special purpose allocator for storing compressed pages. It is designed to store up to three compressed pages per physical page. It is a ZBUD derivative so the simplicity and determinism are still there.

config ZSMALLOC tristate prompt "N:1 compression allocator (zsmalloc)" if ZSWAP depends on MMU help zsmalloc is a slab-based memory allocator designed to store pages of various compression levels efficiently. It achieves the highest storage density with the least amount of fragmentation.

config ZSMALLOC_STAT bool "Export zsmalloc statistics" depends on ZSMALLOC select DEBUG_FS help This option enables code in the zsmalloc to collect various statistics about what's happening in zsmalloc and exports that information to userspace via debugfs. If unsure, say N.

config ZSMALLOC_CHAIN_SIZE int "Maximum number of physical pages per-zspage" default 8 range 4 16 depends on ZSMALLOC help This option sets the upper limit on the number of physical pages that a zmalloc page (zspage) can consist of. The optimal zspage chain size is calculated for each size class during the initialization of the pool.

  Changing this option can alter the characteristics of size classes,
  such as the number of pages per zspage and the number of objects
  per zspage. This can also result in different configurations of
  the pool, as zsmalloc merges size classes with similar
  characteristics.

  For more information, see zsmalloc documentation.

menu "Slab allocator options"

config SLUB def_bool y

config SLUB_TINY bool "Configure for minimal memory footprint" depends on EXPERT select SLAB_MERGE_DEFAULT help Configures the slab allocator in a way to achieve minimal memory footprint, sacrificing scalability, debugging and other features. This is intended only for the smallest system that had used the SLOB allocator and is not recommended for systems with more than 16MB RAM.

   If unsure, say N.

config SLAB_MERGE_DEFAULT bool "Allow slab caches to be merged" default y help For reduced kernel memory fragmentation, slab caches can be merged when they share the same size and other characteristics. This carries a risk of kernel heap overflows being able to overwrite objects from merged caches (and more easily control cache layout), which makes such heap attacks easier to exploit by attackers. By keeping caches unmerged, these kinds of exploits can usually only damage objects in the same cache. To disable merging at runtime, "slab_nomerge" can be passed on the kernel command line.

config SLAB_FREELIST_RANDOM bool "Randomize slab freelist" depends on !SLUB_TINY help Randomizes the freelist order used on creating new pages. This security feature reduces the predictability of the kernel slab allocator against heap overflows.

config SLAB_FREELIST_HARDENED bool "Harden slab freelist metadata" depends on !SLUB_TINY help Many kernel heap attacks try to target slab cache metadata and other infrastructure. This options makes minor performance sacrifices to harden the kernel slab allocator against common freelist exploit methods.

config SLUB_STATS default n bool "Enable performance statistics" depends on SYSFS && !SLUB_TINY help The statistics are useful to debug slab allocation behavior in order find ways to optimize the allocator. This should never be enabled for production use since keeping statistics slows down the allocator by a few percentage points. The slabinfo command supports the determination of the most active slabs to figure out which slabs are relevant to a particular load. Try running: slabinfo -DA

config SLUB_CPU_PARTIAL default y depends on SMP && !SLUB_TINY bool "Enable per cpu partial caches" help Per cpu partial caches accelerate objects allocation and freeing that is local to a processor at the price of more indeterminism in the latency of the free. On overflow these caches will be cleared which requires the taking of locks that may cause latency spikes. Typically one would choose no for a realtime system.

config RANDOM_KMALLOC_CACHES default n depends on !SLUB_TINY bool "Randomize slab caches for normal kmalloc" help A hardening feature that creates multiple copies of slab caches for normal kmalloc allocation and makes kmalloc randomly pick one based on code address, which makes the attackers more difficult to spray vulnerable memory objects on the heap for the purpose of exploiting memory vulnerabilities.

  Currently the number of copies is set to 16, a reasonably large value
  that effectively diverges the memory objects allocated for different
  subsystems or modules into different caches, at the expense of a
  limited degree of memory and CPU overhead that relates to hardware and
  system workload.

endmenu # Slab allocator options

config SHUFFLE_PAGE_ALLOCATOR bool "Page allocator randomization" default SLAB_FREELIST_RANDOM && ACPI_NUMA help Randomization of the page allocator improves the average utilization of a direct-mapped memory-side-cache. See section 5.2.27 Heterogeneous Memory Attribute Table (HMAT) in the ACPI 6.2a specification for an example of how a platform advertises the presence of a memory-side-cache. There are also incidental security benefits as it reduces the predictability of page allocations to compliment SLAB_FREELIST_RANDOM, but the default granularity of shuffling on the MAX_PAGE_ORDER i.e, 10th order of pages is selected based on cache utilization benefits on x86.

  While the randomization improves cache utilization it may
  negatively impact workloads on platforms without a cache. For
  this reason, by default, the randomization is not enabled even
  if SHUFFLE_PAGE_ALLOCATOR=y. The randomization may be force enabled
  with the 'page_alloc.shuffle' kernel command line parameter.

  Say Y if unsure.

config COMPAT_BRK bool "Disable heap randomization" default y help Randomizing heap placement makes heap exploits harder, but it also breaks ancient binaries (including anything libc5 based). This option changes the bootup default to heap randomization disabled, and can be overridden at runtime by setting /proc/sys/kernel/randomize_va_space to 2.

  On non-ancient distros (post-2000 ones) N is usually a safe choice.

config MMAP_ALLOW_UNINITIALIZED bool "Allow mmapped anonymous memory to be uninitialized" depends on EXPERT && !MMU default n help Normally, and according to the Linux spec, anonymous memory obtained from mmap() has its contents cleared before it is passed to userspace. Enabling this config option allows you to request that mmap() skip that if it is given an MAP_UNINITIALIZED flag, thus providing a huge performance boost. If this option is not enabled, then the flag will be ignored.

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

  Because of the obvious security issues, this option should only be
  enabled on embedded devices where you control what is run in
  userspace.  Since that isn't generally a problem on no-MMU systems,
  it is normally safe to say Y here.

  See Documentation/admin-guide/mm/nommu-mmap.rst for more information.

config SELECT_MEMORY_MODEL def_bool y depends on ARCH_SELECT_MEMORY_MODEL

choice prompt "Memory model" depends on SELECT_MEMORY_MODEL default SPARSEMEM_MANUAL if ARCH_SPARSEMEM_DEFAULT default FLATMEM_MANUAL help This option allows you to change some of the ways that Linux manages its memory internally. Most users will only have one option here selected by the architecture configuration. This is normal.

config FLATMEM_MANUAL bool "Flat Memory" depends on !ARCH_SPARSEMEM_ENABLE || ARCH_FLATMEM_ENABLE help This option is best suited for non-NUMA systems with flat address space. The FLATMEM is the most efficient system in terms of performance and resource consumption and it is the best option for smaller systems.

  For systems that have holes in their physical address
  spaces and for features like NUMA and memory hotplug,
  choose "Sparse Memory".

  If unsure, choose this option (Flat Memory) over any other.

config SPARSEMEM_MANUAL bool "Sparse Memory" depends on ARCH_SPARSEMEM_ENABLE help This will be the only option for some systems, including memory hot-plug systems. This is normal.

  This option provides efficient support for systems with
  holes is their physical address space and allows memory
  hot-plug and hot-remove.

  If unsure, choose "Flat Memory" over this option.

SPARSEMEM_EXTREME (which is the default) does some bootmem

allocations when sparse_init() is called. If this cannot

be done on your architecture, select this option. However,

statically allocating the mem_section[] array can potentially

consume vast quantities of .bss, so be careful.

This option will also potentially produce smaller runtime code

with gcc 3.4 and later.

config SPARSEMEM_STATIC bool

Architecture platforms which require a two level mem_section in SPARSEMEM

must select this option. This is usually for architecture platforms with

an extremely sparse physical address space.

config SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP_ENABLE bool

config SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP bool "Sparse Memory virtual memmap" depends on SPARSEMEM && SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP_ENABLE default y help SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP uses a virtually mapped memmap to optimise pfn_to_page and page_to_pfn operations. This is the most efficient option when sufficient kernel resources are available.

Select this config option from the architecture Kconfig, if it is preferred

config MEMORY_HOTPLUG_DEFAULT_ONLINE bool "Online the newly added memory blocks by default" depends on MEMORY_HOTPLUG help This option sets the default policy setting for memory hotplug onlining policy (/sys/devices/system/memory/auto_online_blocks) which determines what happens to newly added memory regions. Policy setting can always be changed at runtime. See Documentation/admin-guide/mm/memory-hotplug.rst for more information.

  Say Y here if you want all hot-plugged memory blocks to appear in

Heavily threaded applications may benefit from splitting the mm-wide

page_table_lock, so that faults on different parts of the user address

space can be handled with less contention: split it at this NR_CPUS.

Default to 4 for wider testing, though 8 might be more appropriate.

ARM's adjust_pte (unused if VIPT) depends on mm-wide page_table_lock.

PA-RISC 7xxx's spinlock_t would enlarge struct page from 32 to 44 bytes.

SPARC32 allocates multiple pte tables within a single page, and therefore

a per-page lock leads to problems when multiple tables need to be locked

at the same time (e.g. copy_page_range()).

DEBUG_SPINLOCK and DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC spinlock_t also enlarge struct page.

config SPLIT_PTLOCK_CPUS int default "999999" if !MMU default "999999" if ARM && !CPU_CACHE_VIPT default "999999" if PARISC && !PA20 default "999999" if SPARC32 default "4"

support for memory balloon

config MEMORY_BALLOON bool

support for memory balloon compaction

config BALLOON_COMPACTION bool "Allow for balloon memory compaction/migration" default y depends on COMPACTION && MEMORY_BALLOON help Memory fragmentation introduced by ballooning might reduce significantly the number of 2MB contiguous memory blocks that can be used within a guest, thus imposing performance penalties associated with the reduced number of transparent huge pages that could be used by the guest workload. Allowing the compaction & migration for memory pages enlisted as being part of memory balloon devices avoids the scenario aforementioned and helps improving memory defragmentation.

support for memory compaction

config COMPACTION bool "Allow for memory compaction" default y select MIGRATION depends on MMU help Compaction is the only memory management component to form high order (larger physically contiguous) memory blocks reliably. The page allocator relies on compaction heavily and the lack of the feature can lead to unexpected OOM killer invocations for high order memory requests. You shouldn't disable this option unless there really is a strong reason for it and then we would be really interested to hear about that at linux-mm@kvack.org.

config COMPACT_UNEVICTABLE_DEFAULT int depends on COMPACTION default 0 if PREEMPT_RT default 1

support for free page reporting

config PAGE_REPORTING bool "Free page reporting" help Free page reporting allows for the incremental acquisition of free pages from the buddy allocator for the purpose of reporting those pages to another entity, such as a hypervisor, so that the memory can be freed within the host for other uses.

support for page migration

config MIGRATION bool "Page migration" default y depends on (NUMA || ARCH_ENABLE_MEMORY_HOTREMOVE || COMPACTION || CMA) && MMU help Allows the migration of the physical location of pages of processes while the virtual addresses are not changed. This is useful in two situations. The first is on NUMA systems to put pages nearer to the processors accessing. The second is when allocating huge pages as migration can relocate pages to satisfy a huge page allocation instead of reclaiming.

config DEVICE_MIGRATION def_bool MIGRATION && ZONE_DEVICE

config ARCH_ENABLE_HUGEPAGE_MIGRATION bool

config ARCH_ENABLE_THP_MIGRATION bool

config HUGETLB_PAGE_SIZE_VARIABLE def_bool n help Allows the pageblock_order value to be dynamic instead of just standard HUGETLB_PAGE_ORDER when there are multiple HugeTLB page sizes available on a platform.

  Note that the pageblock_order cannot exceed MAX_PAGE_ORDER and will be
  clamped down to MAX_PAGE_ORDER.

config CONTIG_ALLOC def_bool (MEMORY_ISOLATION && COMPACTION) || CMA

config PCP_BATCH_SCALE_MAX int "Maximum scale factor of PCP (Per-CPU pageset) batch allocate/free" default 5 range 0 6 help In page allocator, PCP (Per-CPU pageset) is refilled and drained in batches. The batch number is scaled automatically to improve page allocation/free throughput. But too large scale factor may hurt latency. This option sets the upper limit of scale factor to limit the maximum latency.

config PHYS_ADDR_T_64BIT def_bool 64BIT

config BOUNCE bool "Enable bounce buffers" default y depends on BLOCK && MMU && HIGHMEM help Enable bounce buffers for devices that cannot access the full range of memory available to the CPU. Enabled by default when HIGHMEM is selected, but you may say n to override this.

config MMU_NOTIFIER bool select INTERVAL_TREE

config KSM bool "Enable KSM for page merging" depends on MMU select XXHASH help Enable Kernel Samepage Merging: KSM periodically scans those areas of an application's address space that an app has advised may be mergeable. When it finds pages of identical content, it replaces the many instances by a single page with that content, so saving memory until one or another app needs to modify the content. Recommended for use with KVM, or with other duplicative applications. See Documentation/mm/ksm.rst for more information: KSM is inactive until a program has madvised that an area is MADV_MERGEABLE, and root has set /sys/kernel/mm/ksm/run to 1 (if CONFIG_SYSFS is set).

config DEFAULT_MMAP_MIN_ADDR int "Low address space to protect from user allocation" depends on MMU default 4096 help This is the portion of low virtual memory which should be protected from userspace allocation. Keeping a user from writing to low pages can help reduce the impact of kernel NULL pointer bugs.

  For most ppc64 and x86 users with lots of address space
  a value of 65536 is reasonable and should cause no problems.
  On arm and other archs it should not be higher than 32768.
  Programs which use vm86 functionality or have some need to map
  this low address space will need CAP_SYS_RAWIO or disable this
  protection by setting the value to 0.

  This value can be changed after boot using the
  /proc/sys/vm/mmap_min_addr tunable.

config ARCH_SUPPORTS_MEMORY_FAILURE bool

config MEMORY_FAILURE depends on MMU depends on ARCH_SUPPORTS_MEMORY_FAILURE bool "Enable recovery from hardware memory errors" select MEMORY_ISOLATION select RAS help Enables code to recover from some memory failures on systems with MCA recovery. This allows a system to continue running even when some of its memory has uncorrected errors. This requires special hardware support and typically ECC memory.

config HWPOISON_INJECT tristate "HWPoison pages injector" depends on MEMORY_FAILURE && DEBUG_KERNEL && PROC_FS select PROC_PAGE_MONITOR

config NOMMU_INITIAL_TRIM_EXCESS int "Turn on mmap() excess space trimming before booting" depends on !MMU default 1 help The NOMMU mmap() frequently needs to allocate large contiguous chunks of memory on which to store mappings, but it can only ask the system allocator for chunks in 2^N*PAGE_SIZE amounts - which is frequently more than it requires. To deal with this, mmap() is able to trim off the excess and return it to the allocator.

  If trimming is enabled, the excess is trimmed off and returned to the
  system allocator, which can cause extra fragmentation, particularly
  if there are a lot of transient processes.

  If trimming is disabled, the excess is kept, but not used, which for
  long-term mappings means that the space is wasted.

  Trimming can be dynamically controlled through a sysctl option
  (/proc/sys/vm/nr_trim_pages) which specifies the minimum number of
  excess pages there must be before trimming should occur, or zero if
  no trimming is to occur.

  This option specifies the initial value of this option.  The default
  of 1 says that all excess pages should be trimmed.

config DEVICE_PRIVATE bool "Unaddressable device memory (GPU memory, ...)" depends on ZONE_DEVICE select GET_FREE_REGION

help
  Allows creation of struct pages to represent unaddressable device
  memory; i.e., memory that is only accessible from the device (or
  group of devices). You likely also want to select HMM_MIRROR.

config VMAP_PFN bool

config ARCH_USES_HIGH_VMA_FLAGS bool config ARCH_HAS_PKEYS bool

config ARCH_USES_PG_ARCH_X bool help Enable the definition of PG_arch_x page flags with x > 1. Only suitable for 64-bit architectures with CONFIG_FLATMEM or CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP enabled, otherwise there may not be enough room for additional bits in page->flags.

config VM_EVENT_COUNTERS default y bool "Enable VM event counters for /proc/vmstat" if EXPERT help VM event counters are needed for event counts to be shown. This option allows the disabling of the VM event counters on EXPERT systems. /proc/vmstat will only show page counts if VM event counters are disabled.

config PERCPU_STATS bool "Collect percpu memory statistics" help This feature collects and exposes statistics via debugfs. The information includes global and per chunk statistics, which can be used to help understand percpu memory usage.

config GUP_TEST bool "Enable infrastructure for get_user_pages()-related unit tests" depends on DEBUG_FS help Provides /sys/kernel/debug/gup_test, which in turn provides a way to make ioctl calls that can launch kernel-based unit tests for the get_user_pages*() and pin_user_pages*() family of API calls.

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

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

config DMAPOOL_TEST tristate "Enable a module to run time tests on dma_pool" depends on HAS_DMA help Provides a test module that will allocate and free many blocks of various sizes and report how long it takes. This is intended to provide a consistent way to measure how changes to the dma_pool_alloc/free routines affect performance.

config ARCH_HAS_PTE_SPECIAL bool

Some architectures require a special hugepage directory format that is

required to support multiple hugepage sizes. For example a4fe3ce76

"powerpc/mm: Allow more flexible layouts for hugepage pagetables"

introduced it on powerpc. This allows for a more flexible hugepage

pagetable layouts.

config SECRETMEM default y bool "Enable memfd_secret() system call" if EXPERT depends on ARCH_HAS_SET_DIRECT_MAP help Enable the memfd_secret() system call with the ability to create memory areas visible only in the context of the owning process and not mapped to other processes and other kernel page tables.

config ANON_VMA_NAME bool "Anonymous VMA name support" depends on PROC_FS && ADVISE_SYSCALLS && MMU

help
  Allow naming anonymous virtual memory areas.

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

config HAVE_ARCH_USERFAULTFD_WP bool help Arch has userfaultfd write protection support

config HAVE_ARCH_USERFAULTFD_MINOR bool help Arch has userfaultfd minor fault support

help
  Allows to create marker PTEs for userfaultfd write protection
  purposes.  It is required to enable userfaultfd write protection on
  file-backed memory types like shmem and hugetlbfs.
