218 depends on COMPACTION && MEMORY_BALLOON
220 Memory fragmentation introduced by ballooning might reduce
221 significantly the number of 2MB contiguous memory blocks that can be
222 used within a guest, thus imposing performance penalties associated
223 with the reduced number of transparent huge pages that could be used
224 by the guest workload. Allowing the compaction & migration for memory
225 pages enlisted as being part of memory balloon devices avoids the
226 scenario aforementioned and helps improving memory defragmentation.
229 # support for memory compaction
231 bool "Allow for memory compaction"
236 Compaction is the only memory management component to form
237 high order (larger physically contiguous) memory blocks
238 reliably. The page allocator relies on compaction heavily and
239 the lack of the feature can lead to unexpected OOM killer

264 Allows the migration of the physical location of pages of processes
265 while the virtual addresses are not changed. This is useful in
266 two situations. The first is on NUMA systems to put pages nearer
267 to the processors accessing. The second is when allocating huge
268 pages as migration can relocate pages to satisfy a huge page
269 allocation instead of reclaiming.

290 by default when ZONE_DMA or HIGHMEM is selected, but you
291 may say n to override this.
296 An architecture should select this if it implements the
297 deprecated interface virt_to_bus(). All new architectures
298 should probably not select this.
307 bool "Enable KSM for page merging"
311 Enable Kernel Samepage Merging: KSM periodically scans those areas
312 of an application's address space that an app has advised may be
313 mergeable. When it finds pages of identical content, it replaces
314 the many instances by a single page with that content, so
315 saving memory until one or another app needs to modify the content.
316 Recommended for use with KVM, or with other duplicative applications.
317 See Documentation/vm/ksm.rst for more information: KSM is inactive
318 until a program has madvised that an area is MADV_MERGEABLE, and
319 root has set /sys/kernel/mm/ksm/run to 1 (if CONFIG_SYSFS is set).
322 bool "Enable lightweight KSM"
326 LKSM is intended to mitigate energy cost of KSM. LKSM sleeps and
327 waits for incoming events, such as freeze of tasks and user-level
330 Then, LKSM performs one of two memory deduplication strategies, such as
331 partial deduplication and full deduplication.
332 As names of them implying, partial deduplication only scans a subset of
333 processes, thus it provides a lightweight way. Full deduplication scans
334 whole processes joined in the KSM scanning list, thus it is same to
335 original KSM. Due to the level of the incurred event, LKSM performs
336 a proper deduplication strategy.
339 bool "Enable LKSM filtering feature"
342 LKSM_FILTER is intended to reduce necessary scans. LKSM records merged
343 addresses and then used it to filter out unmergeable pages.
344 It improves energy-efficiency at the expense of somewhat sharing chances.
346 config DEFAULT_MMAP_MIN_ADDR
347 int "Low address space to protect from user allocation"
351 This is the portion of low virtual memory which should be protected
352 from userspace allocation. Keeping a user from writing to low pages
353 can help reduce the impact of kernel NULL pointer bugs.
355 For most ia64, ppc64 and x86 users with lots of address space
356 a value of 65536 is reasonable and should cause no problems.
357 On arm and other archs it should not be higher than 32768.
358 Programs which use vm86 functionality or have some need to map
359 this low address space will need CAP_SYS_RAWIO or disable this
360 protection by setting the value to 0.

372 select MEMORY_ISOLATION
375 Enables code to recover from some memory failures on systems
376 with MCA recovery. This allows a system to continue running
377 even when some of its memory has uncorrected errors. This requires
378 special hardware support and typically ECC memory.

386 int "Turn on mmap() excess space trimming before booting"
390 The NOMMU mmap() frequently needs to allocate large contiguous chunks
391 of memory on which to store mappings, but it can only ask the system
392 allocator for chunks in 2^N*PAGE_SIZE amounts - which is frequently
393 more than it requires. To deal with this, mmap() is able to trim off
394 the excess and return it to the allocator.
396 If trimming is enabled, the excess is trimmed off and returned to the
397 system allocator, which can cause extra fragmentation, particularly
398 if there are a lot of transient processes.
400 If trimming is disabled, the excess is kept, but not used, which for
401 long-term mappings means that the space is wasted.
403 Trimming can be dynamically controlled through a sysctl option
404 (/proc/sys/vm/nr_trim_pages) which specifies the minimum number of
405 excess pages there must be before trimming should occur, or zero if
406 no trimming is to occur.
408 This option specifies the initial value of this option. The default
409 of 1 says that all excess pages should be trimmed.

419 Transparent Hugepages allows the kernel to use huge pages and
420 huge tlb transparently to the applications whenever possible.
421 This feature can improve computing performance to certain
422 applications by speeding up page faults during memory
423 allocation, by reducing the number of tlb misses and by speeding
424 up the pagetable walking.

474 bool "Enable cleancache driver to cache clean pages if tmem is present"
476 Cleancache can be thought of as a page-granularity victim cache
477 for clean pages that the kernel's pageframe replacement algorithm
478 (PFRA) would like to keep around, but can't since there isn't enough
479 memory. So when the PFRA "evicts" a page, it first attempts to use
480 cleancache code to put the data contained in that page into
481 "transcendent memory", memory that is not directly accessible or
482 addressable by the kernel and is of unknown and possibly
483 time-varying size. And when a cleancache-enabled
484 filesystem wishes to access a page in a file on disk, it first
485 checks cleancache to see if it already contains it; if it does,
486 the page is copied into the kernel and a disk access is avoided.
487 When a transcendent memory driver is available (such as zcache or
488 Xen transcendent memory), a significant I/O reduction
489 may be achieved. When none is available, all cleancache calls
490 are reduced to a single pointer-compare-against-NULL resulting
491 in a negligible performance hit.
493 If unsure, say Y to enable cleancache
496 bool "Enable frontswap to cache swap pages if tmem is present"
499 Frontswap is so named because it can be thought of as the opposite
500 of a "backing" store for a swap device. The data is stored into
501 "transcendent memory", memory that is not directly accessible or
502 addressable by the kernel and is of unknown and possibly
503 time-varying size. When space in transcendent memory is available,
504 a significant swap I/O reduction may be achieved. When none is
505 available, all frontswap calls are reduced to a single pointer-
506 compare-against-NULL resulting in a negligible performance hit
507 and swap data is stored as normal on the matching swap device.

517 This enables the Contiguous Memory Allocator which allows other
518 subsystems to allocate big physically-contiguous blocks of memory.
519 CMA reserves a region of memory and allows only movable pages to
520 be allocated from it. This way, the kernel can use the memory for
521 pagecache and when a subsystem requests for contiguous area, the
522 allocated pages are migrated away to serve the contiguous request.

577 A lightweight compressed cache for swap pages. It takes
578 pages that are in the process of being swapped out and attempts to

580 This can result in a significant I/O reduction on swap device and,
581 in the case where decompressing from RAM is faster that swap device
582 reads, can also improve workload performance.
584 This is marked experimental because it is a new feature (as of
585 v3.11) that interacts heavily with memory reclaim. While these

830 depends on ZONE_DEVICE
831 select DEV_PAGEMAP_OPS
834 Allows creation of struct pages to represent unaddressable device
835 memory; i.e., memory that is only accessible from the device (or
836 group of devices). You likely also want to select HMM_MIRROR.

850 bool "Collect percpu memory statistics"
852 This feature collects and exposes statistics via debugfs. The
853 information includes global and per chunk statistics, which can
854 be used to help understand percpu memory usage.
857 bool "Enable infrastructure for get_user_pages() and related calls benchmarking"
859 Provides /sys/kernel/debug/gup_benchmark that helps with testing
860 performance of get_user_pages() and related calls.

869 depends on TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE && SHMEM
872 Allow khugepaged to put read-only file-backed pages in THP.
874 This is marked experimental because it is a new feature. Write
875 support of file THPs will be developed in the next few release
