Keeps unevictable pages off of the active and inactive pageout
lists, so kswapd will not waste CPU time or have its balancing
will use one page flag and increase the code size a little,
say Y unless you know what you are doing.

+ int "Low address space to protect from user allocation"

+ help
+ This is the portion of low virtual memory which should be protected
+ from userspace allocation. Keeping a user from writing to low pages
+ can help reduce the impact of kernel NULL pointer bugs.
+
+ For most ia64, ppc64 and x86 users with lots of address space
+ a value of 65536 is reasonable and should cause no problems.
+ On arm and other archs it should not be higher than 32768.
+ Programs which use vm86 functionality would either need additional
+ permissions from either the LSM or the capabilities module or have
+ this protection disabled.
+
+ This value can be changed after boot using the
+ /proc/sys/vm/mmap_min_addr tunable.

+config NOMMU_INITIAL_TRIM_EXCESS
+ int "Turn on mmap() excess space trimming before booting"
+ depends on !MMU
+ default 1
+ help
+ The NOMMU mmap() frequently needs to allocate large contiguous chunks
+ of memory on which to store mappings, but it can only ask the system
+ allocator for chunks in 2^N*PAGE_SIZE amounts - which is frequently
+ more than it requires. To deal with this, mmap() is able to trim off
+ the excess and return it to the allocator.
+
+ If trimming is enabled, the excess is trimmed off and returned to the
+ system allocator, which can cause extra fragmentation, particularly
+ if there are a lot of transient processes.
+
+ If trimming is disabled, the excess is kept, but not used, which for
+ long-term mappings means that the space is wasted.
+
+ Trimming can be dynamically controlled through a sysctl option
+ (/proc/sys/vm/nr_trim_pages) which specifies the minimum number of
+ excess pages there must be before trimming should occur, or zero if
+ no trimming is to occur.
+
+ This option specifies the initial value of this option. The default
+ of 1 says that all excess pages should be trimmed.
+
+ See Documentation/nommu-mmap.txt for more information.
