for Movable pages. "nn[KMGTPE]", "nn%", and "mirror"
are exclusive, so you cannot specify multiple forms.
kfence.burst= [MM,KFENCE] The number of additional successive
allocations to be attempted through KFENCE for each
sample interval.
Format: <unsigned integer>
Default: 0
kfence.check_on_panic=
[MM,KFENCE] Whether to check all KFENCE-managed objects'
canaries on panic.
Format: <bool>
Default: false
kfence.deferrable=
[MM,KFENCE] Whether to use a deferrable timer to trigger
allocations. This avoids forcing CPU wake-ups if the
system is idle, at the risk of a less predictable
sample interval.
Format: <bool>
Default: CONFIG_KFENCE_DEFERRABLE
kfence.sample_interval=
[MM,KFENCE] KFENCE's sample interval in milliseconds.
Format: <unsigned integer>
0 - Disable KFENCE.
>0 - Enabled KFENCE with given sample interval.
Default: CONFIG_KFENCE_SAMPLE_INTERVAL
kfence.skip_covered_thresh=
[MM,KFENCE] If pool utilization reaches this threshold
(pool usage%), KFENCE limits currently covered
allocations of the same source from further filling
up the pool.
Format: <unsigned integer>
Default: 75
kgdbdbgp= [KGDB,HW,EARLY] kgdb over EHCI usb debug port.
Format: <Controller#>[,poll interval]
The controller # is the number of the ehci usb debug
