For reduced kernel memory fragmentation, slab caches can be

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

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.

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

Memory fragmentation introduced by ballooning might reduce
|
|
significantly the number of 2MB contiguous memory blocks that can be
|
|
used within a guest, thus imposing performance penalties associated
|
|
with the reduced number of transparent huge pages that could be used
|
|
by the guest workload. Allowing the compaction & migration for memory
|
|
pages enlisted as being part of memory balloon devices avoids the
|

scenario aforementioned and helps improving memory defragmentation.

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

of memory on which to store mappings, but it can only ask the system

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.
