David S. Miller 5642530651 [SPARC64]: Add CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC support.
The trick is that we do the kernel linear mapping TLB miss starting
with an instruction sequence like this:

	ba,pt		%xcc, kvmap_load
	 xor		%g2, %g4, %g5

succeeded by an instruction sequence which performs a full page table
walk starting at swapper_pg_dir.

We first take over the trap table from the firmware.  Then, using this
constant PTE generation for the linear mapping area above, we build
the kernel page tables for the linear mapping.

After this is setup, we patch that branch above into a "nop", which
will cause TLB misses to fall through to the full page table walk.

With this, the page unmapping for CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC is trivial.

help
Enables the display of the minimum amount of free stack which each
task has ever had available in the sysrq-T and sysrq-P debug output.
This option will slow down process creation somewhat.
config KPROBES
bool "Kprobes"
depends on DEBUG_KERNEL
help
Kprobes allows you to trap at almost any kernel address and
execute a callback function. register_kprobe() establishes
a probepoint and specifies the callback. Kprobes is useful
for kernel debugging, non-intrusive instrumentation and testing.
If in doubt, say "N".

help
Unmap pages from the kernel linear mapping after free_pages().
This results in a large slowdown, but helps to find certain types
of memory corruptions.
