With this option you will be able to detect common bugs in device
drivers like double-freeing of DMA mappings or freeing mappings that
were never allocated.
- This option causes a performance degredation. Use only if you want
- to debug device drivers. If unsure, say N.

+ This also attempts to catch cases where a page owned by DMA is
+ accessed by the cpu in a way that could cause data corruption. For
+ example, this enables cow_user_page() to check that the source page is

+ This builds the "test_module" module that emits "Hello, world"
+ on printk when loaded. It is designed to be used for basic
+ evaluation of the module loading subsystem (for example when

+ a regression has been detected in the user/kernel memory boundary
+ protections.
