  408. MEMORY_HOLE_CARVEOUT is needed to include the msm_mem_hole driver
  409. which is needed to enable/disable memblock-remove features for
  410. device tree nodes that set compatible="qcom,msm-mem-hole". The

  418. User-accessible timers allow the kernel to map kernel timer
  419. registers to a userspace accessible page, to allow faster
  420. access to time information. This flag will enable the

  422. architecture-specific code that will need to be enabled
  423. separately.

  437. A special purpose allocator for storing compressed pages.
  438. It is designed to store up to two compressed pages per physical
  439. page. While this design limits storage density, it has simple and
  440. deterministic reclaim properties that make it preferable to a higher
  441. density approach when reclaim will be used.

  449. A compressed cache for file pages.
  450. It takes active file pages that are in the process of being reclaimed
  451. and attempts to compress them into a dynamically allocated RAM-based
  452. memory pool.
  453. If this process is successful, when those file pages needed again, the
  454. I/O reading operation was avoided. This results in a significant performance
  455. gains under memory pressure for systems full with file pages.

  460. help
  461. zsmalloc is a slab-based memory allocator designed to store
  462. compressed RAM pages. zsmalloc uses virtual memory mapping
  463. in order to reduce fragmentation. However, this results in a
  464. non-standard allocator interface where a handle, not a pointer, is
  465. returned by an alloc(). This handle must be mapped in order to
  466. access the allocated space.
