no_debug_objects
[KNL] Disable object debugging
+ debug_guardpage_minorder=
+ [KNL] When CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC is set, this

+ be intentionally kept free (and hence protected) by the
+ buddy allocator. Bigger value increase the probability
+ of catching random memory corruption, but reduce the
+ amount of memory for normal system use. The maximum
+ possible value is MAX_ORDER/2. Setting this parameter
+ to 1 or 2 should be enough to identify most random
+ memory corruption problems caused by bugs in kernel or
+ driver code when a CPU writes to (or reads from) a
+ random memory location. Note that there exists a class
+ of memory corruptions problems caused by buggy H/W or
+ F/W or by drivers badly programing DMA (basically when
+ memory is written at bus level and the CPU MMU is
+ bypassed) which are not detectable by
+ CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC, hence this option will not help
+ tracking down these problems.
