14 | help | ||
15 | This option enables tracing of dynamically allocated kernel memory | ||
16 | to see if memory is used before it has been given an initial value. | ||
17 | Be aware that this requires half of your memory for bookkeeping and | ||
18 | will insert extra code at *every* read and write to tracked memory | ||
19 | thus slow down the kernel code (but user code is unaffected). | ||
20 | |||
21 | The kernel may be started with kmemcheck=0 or kmemcheck=1 to disable | ||
22 | or enable kmemcheck at boot-time. If the kernel is started with | ||
23 | kmemcheck=0, the large memory and CPU overhead is not incurred. | ||

55 | Select the maximum number of errors to store in the queue. Since | ||
56 | errors can occur virtually anywhere and in any context, we need a | ||
