    kernel - Add options SLAB_DEBUG to help debug memory corruption
    
    * Adding options SLAB_DEBUG to your kernel config will reconfigure
      kmalloc(), krealloc(), and kstrdup() to record all allocation
      sources on a zone-by-zone basis, file and line number.
    
      A full kernel recompile is needed when you add or drop this option
      from your kernel config.
    
    * Limited to 32 slots per slab.  Since slabs offer a narrow range of
      chunk sizes this will normally be sufficient.
    
    * When a memory corruption related panic occurs kgdb can be used
      to determine who allocated out of the slab in question.
