2011-10-31debug-pagealloc: add support for highmem pagesAkinobu Mita
This adds support for highmem pages poisoning and verification to the debug-pagealloc feature for no-architecture support.

2011-10-31mm/debug-pagealloc.c: use plain __ratelimit() instead of printk_ratelimit()Akinobu Mita
printk_ratelimit() should not be used, because it shares ratelimiting state with all other unrelated printk_ratelimit() callsites.

2009-04-01generic debug pageallocAkinobu Mita
CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC is now supported by x86, powerpc, sparc64, and s390. This patch implements it for the rest of the architectures by filling the pages with poison byte patterns after free_pages() and verifying the poison patterns before alloc_pages(). This generic one cannot detect invalid page accesses immediately but invalid read access may cause invalid dereference by poisoned memory and invalid write access can be detected after a long delay.
