    kmemcheck: add the kmemcheck core · dfec072e
    Vegard Nossum authored Apr 04, 2008
    
    
    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.
