This option allows you to choose whether you want to have support
for so called swap devices or swap files in your kernel that are
used to provide more virtual memory than the actual RAM present
in your computer. If unsure say Y.
config ZSWAP
bool "Compressed cache for swap pages"
depends on SWAP
select FRONTSWAP

select ZPOOL
help
A lightweight compressed cache for swap pages. 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 than swap device
reads, can also improve workload performance.
config ZSWAP_DEFAULT_ON
bool "Enable the compressed cache for swap pages by default"

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.

For an overview what kind of performance can be expected from
a particular compression algorithm please refer to the benchmarks
available at the following LWN page:

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

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.

pages of various compression levels efficiently. It achieves
the highest storage density with the least amount of fragmentation.

well in all environments. It organizes cache hot objects in
per cpu and per node queues.
config SLUB

select HAVE_HARDENED_USERCOPY_ALLOCATOR
help
SLUB is a slab allocator that minimizes cache line usage
instead of managing queues of cached objects (SLAB approach).
Per cpu caching is realized using slabs of objects instead
of queues of objects. SLUB can use memory efficiently
and has enhanced diagnostics. SLUB is the default choice for
a slab allocator.

SLOB replaces the stock allocator with a drastically simpler
allocator. SLOB is generally more space efficient but
does not perform as well on large systems.

config SLAB_MERGE_DEFAULT
bool "Allow slab caches to be merged"
default y
depends on SLAB || SLUB
help
For reduced kernel memory fragmentation, slab caches can be
merged when they share the same size and other characteristics.
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
by attackers. By keeping caches unmerged, these kinds of exploits
can usually only damage objects in the same cache. To disable
merging at runtime, "slab_nomerge" can be passed on the kernel
command line.
config SLAB_FREELIST_RANDOM
bool "Randomize slab freelist"
depends on SLAB || SLUB
help
Randomizes the freelist order used on creating new pages. This
security feature reduces the predictability of the kernel slab
allocator against heap overflows.
config SLAB_FREELIST_HARDENED
bool "Harden slab freelist metadata"
depends on SLAB || SLUB
help
Many kernel heap attacks try to target slab cache metadata and
other infrastructure. This options makes minor performance
sacrifices to harden the kernel slab allocator against common
freelist exploit methods. Some slab implementations have more
sanity-checking than others. This option is most effective with
CONFIG_SLUB.

SLUB statistics are useful to debug SLUBs allocation behavior in

Per cpu partial caches accelerate objects allocation and freeing

in the latency of the free. On overflow these caches will be cleared
which requires the taking of locks that may cause latency spikes.

config SHUFFLE_PAGE_ALLOCATOR
bool "Page allocator randomization"
default SLAB_FREELIST_RANDOM && ACPI_NUMA
help
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_ORDER - 1" 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 enabled only
after runtime detection of a direct-mapped memory-side-cache.
Otherwise, the randomization may be force enabled with the
'page_alloc.shuffle' kernel command line parameter.
Say Y if unsure.

Randomizing heap placement makes heap exploits harder, but it
also breaks ancient binaries (including anything libc5 based).
This option changes the bootup default to heap randomization
disabled, and can be overridden at runtime by setting
/proc/sys/kernel/randomize_va_space to 2.
On non-ancient distros (post-2000 ones) N is usually a safe choice.
config MMAP_ALLOW_UNINITIALIZED

help
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
userspace. Since that isn't generally a problem on no-MMU systems,
it is normally safe to say Y here.

The NOMMU mmap() frequently needs to allocate large contiguous chunks

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
of 1 says that all excess pages should be trimmed.
