[PATCH 0/3] optimize handling of memory debugging parameters

[Vlastimil Babka <vbabka@suse.cz>]

We currently have several kernel parameters that affect page allocator wrt
debugging and hardening, some also with config options: init_on_alloc,
init_on_free, page_poison, debug_pagealloc.

These options generally have their own static keys, but sometimes a decision
for e.g. clearing a page depends on multiple options, and the handling is not
as efficient as it could be. This series addresses that by centralizing the
decisions into a new init_mem_debugging() function that enables individual
static keys, and most paths now rely on a single static key check. Subtle
dependency on the order of parameters is also eliminated (Patch 1). The result
is more efficient and hopefully also more readable code.

Vlastimil Babka (3):
  mm, page_alloc: do not rely on the order of page_poison and
    init_on_alloc/free parameters
  mm, page_poison: use static key more efficiently
  mm, page_alloc: reduce static keys in prep_new_page()
