CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC is now supported by x86, powerpc, sparc64, and s390. This patch implements it for the rest of the architectures by filling the pages with poison byte patterns after free_pages() and verifying the poison patterns before alloc_pages(). This generic one cannot detect invalid page accesses immediately but invalid read access may cause invalid dereference by poisoned memory and invalid write access can be detected after a long delay.

Fill the pages with poison patterns after free_pages() and verify
|
|
the patterns before alloc_pages(). This results in a large slowdown,
|
|
but helps to find certain types of memory corruptions.
|
|
|
|
This option cannot enalbe with hibernation. Otherwise, it will get
|
|
wrong messages for memory corruption because the free pages are not
|
|
saved to the suspend image.
