From dfec072ecd35ba6ecad2d51dde325253ac9a2936 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Vegard Nossum Date: Fri, 4 Apr 2008 00:51:41 +0200 Subject: kmemcheck: add the kmemcheck core General description: kmemcheck is a patch to the linux kernel that detects use of uninitialized memory. It does this by trapping every read and write to memory that was allocated dynamically (e.g. using kmalloc()). If a memory address is read that has not previously been written to, a message is printed to the kernel log. Thanks to Andi Kleen for the set_memory_4k() solution. Andrew Morton suggested documenting the shadow member of struct page.
