Subject: [RFC][PATCH v3 1/2] mm/page_poison.c: Enable PAGE_POISONING as a separate option
From: Laura Abbott <labbott@...oraproject.org>
Page poisoning is currently setup as a feature if architectures don't
have architecture debug page_alloc to allow unmapping of pages. It has
uses apart from that though. Clearing of the pages on free provides
an increase in security as it helps to limit the risk of information
leaks. Allow page poisoning to be enabled as a separate option
independent of any other debug feature. Because of how hiberanation
is implemented, the checks on alloc cannot occur if hibernation is
enabled. This option can also be set on !HIBERNATION as well.
