28	help
29	  KASAN has two modes: generic KASAN (similar to userspace ASan,
30	  x86_64/arm64/xtensa, enabled with CONFIG_KASAN_GENERIC) and
31	  software tag-based KASAN (a version based on software memory
32	  tagging, arm64 only, similar to userspace HWASan, enabled with
33	  CONFIG_KASAN_SW_TAGS).
34	  Both generic and tag-based KASAN are strictly debugging features.

43	help
44	  Enables generic KASAN mode.
45	  Supported in both GCC and Clang. With GCC it requires version 4.9.2
46	  or later for basic support and version 5.0 or later for detection of
47	  out-of-bounds accesses for stack and global variables and for inline
48	  instrumentation mode (CONFIG_KASAN_INLINE). With Clang it requires
49	  version 3.7.0 or later and it doesn't support detection of
50	  out-of-bounds accesses for global variables yet.
51	  This mode consumes about 1/8th of available memory at kernel start
52	  and introduces an overhead of ~x1.5 for the rest of the allocations.
53	  The performance slowdown is ~x3.
54	  For better error detection enable CONFIG_STACKTRACE.
55	  Currently CONFIG_KASAN_GENERIC doesn't work with CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB
56	  (the resulting kernel does not boot).

64	select STACKDEPOT
65	help
66	  Enables software tag-based KASAN mode.
67	  This mode requires Top Byte Ignore support by the CPU and therefore
68	  is only supported for arm64.
69	  This mode requires Clang version 7.0.0 or later.
70	  This mode consumes about 1/16th of available memory at kernel start
71	  and introduces an overhead of ~20% for the rest of the allocations.
72	  This mode may potentially introduce problems relating to pointer
73	  casting and comparison, as it embeds tags into the top byte of each
74	  pointer.
75	  For better error detection enable CONFIG_STACKTRACE.
76	  Currently CONFIG_KASAN_SW_TAGS doesn't work with CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB
77	  (the resulting kernel does not boot).

86config KASAN_OUTLINE
87	bool "Outline instrumentation"
88	help
89	  Before every memory access compiler insert function call
90	  __asan_load*/__asan_store*. These functions performs check
91	  of shadow memory. This is slower than inline instrumentation,
92	  however it doesn't bloat size of kernel's .text section so
93	  much as inline does.
94
95config KASAN_INLINE
96	bool "Inline instrumentation"
97	help
98	  Compiler directly inserts code checking shadow memory before
99	  memory accesses. This is faster than outline (in some workloads
100	  it gives about x2 boost over outline instrumentation), but
101	  make kernel's .text size much bigger.
102	  For CONFIG_KASAN_GENERIC this requires GCC 5.0 or later.

110	help
111	  The LLVM stack address sanitizer has a know problem that
112	  causes excessive stack usage in a lot of functions, see
113	  https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=38809
114	  Disabling asan-stack makes it safe to run kernels build
115	  with clang-8 with KASAN enabled, though it loses some of
116	  the functionality.
117	  This feature is always disabled when compile-testing with clang-8
118	  or earlier to avoid cluttering the output in stack overflow
119	  warnings, but clang-8 users can still enable it for builds without
120	  CONFIG_COMPILE_TEST.  On gcc and later clang versions it is
121	  assumed to always be safe to use and enabled by default.

131	help
132	  Compiling the kernel with KASan disables automatic 3-level vs
133	  4-level paging selection. 3-level paging is used by default (up
134	  to 3TB of RAM with KASan enabled). This options allows to force
135	  4-level paging instead.

140	help
141	  This is a test module doing various nasty things like
142	  out of bounds accesses, use after free. It is useful for testing
143	  kernel debugging features like KASAN.
