When running the kernel with init_on_alloc=1, calling the default implementation of __alloc_zeroed_user_highpage() from include/linux/highmem.h leads to double-initialization of the allocated page (first by the page allocator, then by clear_user_page(). Calling alloc_page_vma() with __GFP_ZERO, similarly to e.g. x86, seems to be enough to ensure the user page is zeroed only once.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
