c73602ad31 ksm: more on default values
Adjust the max_kernel_pages default to a quarter of totalram_pages,
instead of nr_free_buffer_pages() / 4: the KSM pages themselves come from
highmem, and even on a 16GB PAE machine, 4GB of KSM pages would only be
pinning 32MB of lowmem with their rmap_items, so no need for the more
obscure calculation (nor for its own special init function).

There is no way for the user to switch KSM on if CONFIG_SYSFS is not
enabled, so in that case default run to KSM_RUN_MERGE.

Update KSM Documentation and Kconfig to reflect the new defaults.

be listed:

	# ./tools/vm/page-types -lp $$ | head -3
	voffset offset  len     flags
	400     11bebe  1       __RU_lA____M______________________
	402     11bebc  1       __RU_lA____M______________________

Note that voffset/offset/len are now showed as hex numbers.

fa5ec8a1f6 slub: add option to disable higher order debugging slabs
When debugging is enabled, slub requires that additional metadata be
stored in slabs for certain options: SLAB_RED_ZONE, SLAB_POISON, and
SLAB_STORE_USER.

Consequently, it may require that the minimum possible slab order needed
to allocate a single object be greater when using these options.  The
most notable example is for objects that are PAGE_SIZE bytes in size.

Higher minimum slab orders may cause page allocation failures when oom or
under heavy fragmentation.

This patch adds a new slub_debug option, which disables debugging by
default for caches that would have resulted in higher minimum orders:

	slub_debug=O

When this option is used on systems with 4K pages, kmalloc-4096, for
example, will not have debugging enabled by default even if
CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG_ON is defined because it would have resulted in a
order-1 minimum slab order.
