Typos and grammar fixed: help This option provides a kernel module which can be used to test architecture page table helper functions on various platforms in verifying if they comply with expected generic MM semantics. This will help architecture code in making sure that any changes or new additions of these helpers still conform to expected semantics of the generic MM. Also, more fundamentally: isn't a kernel module too late for such a debug check, should something break due to a core MM change? Have these debug checks caught any bugs or inconsistencies before? Why not call this as some earlier MM debug check, after enabling paging but before executing user-space binaries or relying on complex MM ops within the kernel, called at a stage when those primitives are all expected to work fine? It seems to me that arch_pgtable_tests_init) won't even context-switch normally, right? Finally, instead of inventing yet another randomly named .config debug switch, please fit it into the regular MM debug options which go along the CONFIG_DEBUG_VM* naming scheme. Might even make sense to enable these new debug checks by default if CONFIG_DEBUG_VM=y, that way we'll get a *lot* more debug coverage than some random module somewhere that few people will know about, let alone run.
