Merge branch 'akpm' (patches from Andrew)
Merge updates from Andrew Morton: "Am experimenting with splitting MM up into identifiable subsystems perhaps with a view to gitifying it in complex ways. Also with more verbose "incoming" emails. Most of MM is here and a few other trees. Subsystems affected by this patch series: - hotfixes - iommu - scripts - arch/sh - ocfs2 - mm:slab-generic - mm:slub - mm:kmemleak - mm:kasan - mm:cleanups - mm:debug - mm:pagecache - mm:swap -

+ Similar to "init_on_alloc", when "init_on_free" is enabled,
+ all page allocator and slab allocator memory will be zeroed
+ when freed, eliminating many kinds of "uninitialized heap memory"
+ flaws, especially heap content exposures. The primary difference
+ with "init_on_free" is that data lifetime in memory is reduced,
+ as anything freed is wiped immediately, making live forensics or
+ cold boot memory attacks unable to recover freed memory contents.
+ The performance impact varies by workload, but is more expensive
+ than "init_on_alloc" due to the negative cache effects of
+ touching "cold" memory areas. Most cases see 3-5% impact. Some
+ synthetic workloads have measured as high as 8%.
