1087 Normally, and according to the Linux spec, anonymous memory obtained
1088 from mmap() has it's contents cleared before it is passed to
1089 userspace. Enabling this config option allows you to request that
1090 mmap() skip that if it is given an MAP_UNINITIALIZED flag, thus
1091 providing a huge performance boost. If this option is not enabled,
1092 then the flag will be ignored.
1093
1094 This is taken advantage of by uClibc's malloc(), and also by
1095 ELF-FDPIC binfmt's brk and stack allocator.
1096
1097 Because of the obvious security issues, this option should only be
1098 enabled on embedded devices where you control what is run in
1099 userspace. Since that isn't generally a problem on no-MMU systems,
1100 it is normally safe to say Y here.
