Enabling both DEBUG_WX=y and KASAN=y options significantly increases
boot time (dozens of seconds at least).
KASAN fills kernel page tables with repeated values to map several
TBs of the virtual memory to the single kasan_zero_page:
kasan_zero_pud ->
kasan_zero_pmd->
kasan_zero_pte->
kasan_zero_page
So, the page table walker used to find W+X mapping check the same
kasan_zero_p?d page table entries a lot more than once.
With patch pud walker will skip the pud if it has the same value as
the previous one . Skipping done iff we search for W+X mappings,
so this optimization won't affect the page table dump via debugfs.
This dropped time spend in W+X check from ~30 sec to reasonable 0.1 sec:
Before:
[ 4.579991] Freeing unused kernel memory: 1000K
[ 35.257523] x86/mm: Checked W+X mappings: passed, no W+X pages found.
After:
[ 5.138756] Freeing unused kernel memory: 1000K
[ 5.266496] x86/mm: Checked W+X mappings: passed, no W+X pages found.
