mm: Kconfig: reorganize misplaced mm options
After commits 7b42f1041c98 ("mm: Kconfig: move swap and slab config options to the MM section") and 519bcb797907 ("mm: Kconfig: group swap, slab, hotplug and thp options into submenus") we now have nicely organized mm related config options. I have noticed some that were still misplaced, so this moves them from various places into the new structure: VM_EVENT_COUNTERS, COMPAT_BRK, MMAP_ALLOW_UNINITIALIZED to mm/Kconfig and general MM section. SLUB_STATS to mm/Kconfig and the slab submenu. DEBUG_SLAB, SLUB_DEBUG, SLUB_DEBUG_ON to mm/Kconfig.debug and the Kernel hacking / Memory Debugging submenu.

-config VM_EVENT_COUNTERS
- default y
- bool "Enable VM event counters for /proc/vmstat" if EXPERT
- help
- VM event counters are needed for event counts to be shown.
- This option allows the disabling of the VM event counters
- on EXPERT systems. /proc/vmstat will only show page counts
- if VM event counters are disabled.
-
-config SLUB_DEBUG
- default y
- bool "Enable SLUB debugging support" if EXPERT
- depends on SLUB && SYSFS
- help
- SLUB has extensive debug support features. Disabling these can
- result in significant savings in code size. This also disables
- SLUB sysfs support. /sys/slab will not exist and there will be
- no support for cache validation etc.
-
-config COMPAT_BRK
- bool "Disable heap randomization"
- default y
- help
- Randomizing heap placement makes heap exploits harder, but it
- also breaks ancient binaries (including anything libc5 based).
- This option changes the bootup default to heap randomization
- disabled, and can be overridden at runtime by setting
- /proc/sys/kernel/randomize_va_space to 2.
-
- On non-ancient distros (post-2000 ones) N is usually a safe choice.
-
-config MMAP_ALLOW_UNINITIALIZED
- bool "Allow mmapped anonymous memory to be uninitialized"
- depends on EXPERT && !MMU
- default n
- help
- Normally, and according to the Linux spec, anonymous memory obtained
- from mmap() has its contents cleared before it is passed to
- userspace. Enabling this config option allows you to request that
- mmap() skip that if it is given an MAP_UNINITIALIZED flag, thus
- providing a huge performance boost. If this option is not enabled,
- then the flag will be ignored.
-
- This is taken advantage of by uClibc's malloc(), and also by
- ELF-FDPIC binfmt's brk and stack allocator.
-
- Because of the obvious security issues, this option should only be
- enabled on embedded devices where you control what is run in
- userspace. Since that isn't generally a problem on no-MMU systems,
- it is normally safe to say Y here.
-
- See Documentation/admin-guide/mm/nommu-mmap.rst for more information.
