Dear kernel maintainers,

the CONFIG_RANDOM_KMALLOC_CACHES configuration option is not enabled in Debian kernels:

$ grep CONFIG_RANDOM_KMALLOC_CACHES /boot/config-7.1.3+deb14-amd64
# CONFIG_RANDOM_KMALLOC_CACHES is not set

This option is recommended by the KSPP project:

   https://kspp.github.io/Recommended_Settings.html

and is enabled in Ubuntu and Fedora.

How about enabling it in Debian ?

Thanks,

-- 
Laurent.
