| help | |
| Rely on Clang's allocation tokens to choose a slab cache, where token | |
| IDs are derived from the allocated type. | |
| Unlike KMALLOC_PARTITION_RANDOM, cache assignment is deterministic based | |
| on type, which guarantees that objects of certain types are not | |
| placed in the same cache. This effectively mitigates certain classes | |
| of exploits that probabilistic defenses like KMALLOC_PARTITION_RANDOM | |
| only make harder but not impossible. However, this also means the | |
| cache assignment is predictable. | |
| Clang's default token ID calculation returns a bounded hash with | |
| disjoint ranges for pointer-containing and pointerless objects: when | |
| used as the slab cache index, this prevents buffer overflows on | |
| primitive buffers from directly corrupting pointer-containing | |
| objects. | |
| The current effectiveness of Clang's type inference can be judged by | |
| -Rpass=alloc-token, which provides diagnostics where (after dead-code | |
| elimination) type inference failed. | |

| This is the portion of low virtual memory which should be protected | |

| 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 | |

| This feature allows locking each virtual memory area separately when | |
| handling page faults instead of taking mmap_lock. | |

| Enable this option to check that the lazy MMU mode interface behaves | |
| as expected. Only tests for the generic interface are included (not | |
| architecture-specific behaviours). | |
| If unsure, say N. | |
