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

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.

Randomizing heap placement makes heap exploits harder, but it

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

it is normally safe to say Y here.

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 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

excess pages there must be before trimming should occur, or zero if

no trimming is to occur.

CMA reserves a region of memory and allows only movable pages to
