Description:
Hello, can you please add CONFIG_MEMTEST=y to config for Archlinux kernels?
It does not change default behaviour, but enables user to add memtest=3 option to kernel command line in order to do brief RAM test during boot. It is done directly by kernel without need for external tool like memtest86+, results can then be found in dmesg.


Additional info:
* package version(s)

perhaps also for linux-hardened

Debian already has this enabled.

This has come up before  FS#11328   FS#40143 . Rather than close this immediately as another dupe, maybe it's worth re-evaluating in 2022?
