-config SLAB_MERGE_DEFAULT
- bool "Allow slab caches to be merged"
- default y
- depends on SLAB || SLUB
- help
- For reduced kernel memory fragmentation, slab caches can be
- merged when they share the same size and other characteristics.
- 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
- by attackers. By keeping caches unmerged, these kinds of exploits
- can usually only damage objects in the same cache. To disable
- merging at runtime, "slab_nomerge" can be passed on the kernel
- command line.

- Many kernel heap attacks try to target slab cache metadata and
- other infrastructure. This options makes minor performance
- sacrifices to harden the kernel slab allocator against common
- freelist exploit methods. Some slab implementations have more
- sanity-checking than others. This option is most effective with
- CONFIG_SLUB.

-config SHUFFLE_PAGE_ALLOCATOR
- bool "Page allocator randomization"
- default SLAB_FREELIST_RANDOM && ACPI_NUMA
- help
- Randomization of the page allocator improves the average
- utilization of a direct-mapped memory-side-cache. See section
- 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.
- Otherwise, the randomization may be force enabled with the
- 'page_alloc.shuffle' kernel command line parameter.

- bool "SLUB per cpu partial cache"
- help
- Per cpu partial caches accelerate objects allocation and freeing
- that is local to a processor at the price of more indeterminism
- in the latency of the free. On overflow these caches will be cleared
- which requires the taking of locks that may cause latency spikes.
- Typically one would choose no for a realtime system.
