mm/page_poison.c: enable PAGE_POISONING as a separate option 



Page poisoning is currently set up as a feature if architectures don't
have architecture debug page_alloc to allow unmapping of pages.  It has
uses apart from that though.  Clearing of the pages on free provides an
increase in security as it helps to limit the risk of information leaks.
Allow page poisoning to be enabled as a separate option independent of
kernel_map pages since the two features do separate work.  Because of
how hiberanation is implemented, the checks on alloc cannot occur if
hibernation is enabled.  The runtime alloc checks can also be enabled
with an option when !HIBERNATION.

config PAGE_POISONING

	bool
 
	bool "Poison pages after freeing"

	select PAGE_EXTENSION

	select PAGE_POISONING_NO_SANITY if HIBERNATION

	---help---

	  Fill the pages with poison patterns after free_pages() and verify

	  the patterns before alloc_pages. The filling of the memory helps

	  reduce the risk of information leaks from freed data. This does

	  have a potential performance impact.



	  Note that "poison" here is not the same thing as the "HWPoison"

	  for CONFIG_MEMORY_FAILURE. This is software poisoning only.



	  If unsure, say N



config PAGE_POISONING_NO_SANITY

	depends on PAGE_POISONING

	bool "Only poison, don't sanity check"

	---help---

	   Skip the sanity checking on alloc, only fill the pages with

	   poison on free. This reduces some of the overhead of the

	   poisoning feature.



	   If you are only interested in sanitization, say Y. Otherwise

	   say N.
