This option enables tracing of dynamically allocated kernel memory
|
|
|
|
|
to see if memory is used before it has been given an initial value.
|
|
|
|
|
Be aware that this requires half of your memory for bookkeeping and
|
|
|
|
|
will insert extra code at *every* read and write to tracked memory
|
|
|
|
|
thus slow down the kernel code (but user code is unaffected).
|
|
|

|
|
|

The kernel may be started with kmemcheck=0 or kmemcheck=1 to disable
|
|
|
|
|
or enable kmemcheck at boot-time. If the kernel is started with
|
|
|
|
|
kmemcheck=0, the large memory and CPU overhead is not incurred.

errors can occur virtually anywhere and in any context, we need a
