Recommended for use with KVM, or with other duplicative applications. See Documentation/vm/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 ia64, 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.

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.

So when the PFRA "evicts" a page, it first attempts to use cleancache code to put the data contained in that page into "transcendent memory", memory that is not directly accessible or addressable by the kernel and is of unknown and possibly time-varying size. And when a cleancache-enabled filesystem wishes to access a page in a file on disk, it first checks cleancache to see if it already contains it; if it does, the page is copied into the kernel and a disk access is avoided. When a transcendent memory driver is available (such as zcache or Xen transcendent memory), a significant I/O reduction may be achieved. When none is available, all cleancache calls are reduced to a single pointer-compare-against-NULL resulting in a negligible performance hit. If unsure, say Y to enable cleancache config FRONTSWAP bool "Enable frontswap to cache swap pages if tmem is present" depends on SWAP help Frontswap is so named because it can be thought of as the opposite of a "backing" store for a swap device. The data is stored into "transcendent memory", memory that is not directly accessible or addressable by the kernel and is of unknown and possibly time-varying size. When space in transcendent memory is available, a significant swap I/O reduction may be achieved. When none is available, all frontswap calls are reduced to a single pointer- compare-against-NULL resulting in a negligible performance hit and swap data is stored as normal on the matching swap device. If unsure, say Y to enable frontswap. config CMA bool "Contiguous Memory Allocator" depends on MMU select MIGRATION select MEMORY_ISOLATION help This enables the Contiguous Memory Allocator which allows other subsystems to allocate big physically-contiguous blocks of memory. CMA reserves a region of memory and allows only movable pages to be allocated from it. This way, the kernel can use the memory for pagecache and when a subsystem requests for contiguous area, the allocated pages are migrated away to serve the contiguous request. If unsure, say "n". config CMA_DEBUG bool "CMA debug messages (DEVELOPMENT)" depends on DEBUG_KERNEL && CMA help Turns on debug messages in CMA.

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 that swap device reads, can also improve workload performance. This is marked experimental because it is a new feature (as of v3.11) that interacts heavily with memory reclaim. While these interactions don't cause any known issues on simple memory setups, they have not be fully explored on the large set of potential configurations and workloads that exist. choice prompt "Compressed cache for swap pages default compressor" depends on ZSWAP default ZSWAP_COMPRESSOR_DEFAULT_LZO help Selects the default compression algorithm for the compressed cache for swap pages.

The selection made here can be overridden by using the kernel command line 'zswap.compressor=' option. config ZSWAP_COMPRESSOR_DEFAULT_DEFLATE bool "Deflate" select CRYPTO_DEFLATE help Use the Deflate algorithm as the default compression algorithm. config ZSWAP_COMPRESSOR_DEFAULT_LZO bool "LZO" select CRYPTO_LZO help Use the LZO algorithm as the default compression algorithm. config ZSWAP_COMPRESSOR_DEFAULT_842 bool "842" select CRYPTO_842 help Use the 842 algorithm as the default compression algorithm. config ZSWAP_COMPRESSOR_DEFAULT_LZ4 bool "LZ4" select CRYPTO_LZ4 help Use the LZ4 algorithm as the default compression algorithm. config ZSWAP_COMPRESSOR_DEFAULT_LZ4HC bool "LZ4HC" select CRYPTO_LZ4HC help Use the LZ4HC algorithm as the default compression algorithm. config ZSWAP_COMPRESSOR_DEFAULT_ZSTD bool "zstd" select CRYPTO_ZSTD help Use the zstd algorithm as the default compression algorithm. endchoice config ZSWAP_COMPRESSOR_DEFAULT string depends on ZSWAP default "deflate" if ZSWAP_COMPRESSOR_DEFAULT_DEFLATE default "lzo" if ZSWAP_COMPRESSOR_DEFAULT_LZO default "842" if ZSWAP_COMPRESSOR_DEFAULT_842 default "lz4" if ZSWAP_COMPRESSOR_DEFAULT_LZ4 default "lz4hc" if ZSWAP_COMPRESSOR_DEFAULT_LZ4HC default "zstd" if ZSWAP_COMPRESSOR_DEFAULT_ZSTD default "" choice prompt "Compressed cache for swap pages default allocator" depends on ZSWAP default ZSWAP_ZPOOL_DEFAULT_ZBUD help Selects the default allocator for the compressed cache for swap pages. The default is 'zbud' for compatibility, however please do read the description of each of the allocators below before making a right choice. The selection made here can be overridden by using the kernel command line 'zswap.zpool=' option. config ZSWAP_ZPOOL_DEFAULT_ZBUD bool "zbud" select ZBUD help Use the zbud allocator as the default allocator. config ZSWAP_ZPOOL_DEFAULT_Z3FOLD bool "z3fold" select Z3FOLD help Use the z3fold allocator as the default allocator. config ZSWAP_ZPOOL_DEFAULT_ZSMALLOC bool "zsmalloc" select ZSMALLOC help Use the zsmalloc allocator as the default allocator. endchoice config ZSWAP_ZPOOL_DEFAULT string depends on ZSWAP default "zbud" if ZSWAP_ZPOOL_DEFAULT_ZBUD default "z3fold" if ZSWAP_ZPOOL_DEFAULT_Z3FOLD default "zsmalloc" if ZSWAP_ZPOOL_DEFAULT_ZSMALLOC default "" 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 ZPOOL tristate "Common API for compressed memory storage" help Compressed memory storage API. This allows using either zbud or zsmalloc. config ZBUD tristate "Low (Up to 2x) density storage for compressed pages" 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 "Up to 3x density storage for compressed pages" depends on ZPOOL 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 "Memory allocator for compressed pages" depends on MMU help zsmalloc is a slab-based memory allocator designed to store compressed RAM pages. zsmalloc uses virtual memory mapping in order to reduce fragmentation. However, this results in a non-standard allocator interface where a handle, not a pointer, is returned by an alloc(). This handle must be mapped in order to access the allocated space. 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 GENERIC_EARLY_IOREMAP bool config STACK_MAX_DEFAULT_SIZE_MB int "Default maximum user stack size for 32-bit processes (MB)" default 100 range 8 2048 depends on STACK_GROWSUP && (!64BIT || COMPAT) help This is the maximum stack size in Megabytes in the VM layout of 32-bit user processes when the stack grows upwards (currently only on parisc arch) when the RLIMIT_STACK hard limit is unlimited. A sane initial value is 100 MB. config DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT bool "Defer initialisation of struct pages to kthreads" depends on SPARSEMEM depends on !NEED_PER_CPU_KM depends on 64BIT select PADATA help Ordinarily all struct pages are initialised during early boot in a single thread. On very large machines this can take a considerable amount of time. If this option is set, large machines will bring up a subset of memmap at boot and then initialise the rest in parallel. This has a potential performance impact on tasks running early in the lifetime of the system until these kthreads finish the initialisation. config IDLE_PAGE_TRACKING bool "Enable idle page tracking" depends on SYSFS && MMU select PAGE_EXTENSION if !64BIT help This feature allows to estimate the amount of user pages that have not been touched during a given period of time. This information can be useful to tune memory cgroup limits and/or for job placement within a compute cluster. See Documentation/admin-guide/mm/idle_page_tracking.rst for more details. config ARCH_HAS_PTE_DEVMAP bool config ZONE_DEVICE bool "Device memory (pmem, HMM, etc...) hotplug support" depends on MEMORY_HOTPLUG depends on MEMORY_HOTREMOVE depends on SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP depends on ARCH_HAS_PTE_DEVMAP select XARRAY_MULTI help Device memory hotplug support allows for establishing pmem, or other device driver discovered memory regions, in the memmap. This allows pfn_to_page() lookups of otherwise "device-physical" addresses which is needed for using a DAX mapping in an O_DIRECT operation, among other things. If FS_DAX is enabled, then say Y. config DEV_PAGEMAP_OPS bool # # Helpers to mirror range of the CPU page tables of a process into device page # tables. # config HMM_MIRROR bool depends on MMU config DEVICE_PRIVATE bool "Unaddressable device memory (GPU memory, ...)" depends on ZONE_DEVICE select DEV_PAGEMAP_OPS 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 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.

This is marked experimental because it is a new feature. Write support of file THPs will be developed in the next few release cycles. config ARCH_HAS_PTE_SPECIAL bool # # Some architectures require a special hugepage directory format that is # required to support multiple hugepage sizes.
