57
58	  1. Generic KASAN (supported by many architectures, enabled with
59	     CONFIG_KASAN_GENERIC, similar to userspace ASan),
60	  2. Software Tag-Based KASAN (arm64 only, based on software memory
61	     tagging, enabled with CONFIG_KASAN_SW_TAGS, similar to userspace
62	     HWASan), and
63	  3. Hardware Tag-Based KASAN (arm64 only, based on hardware memory
64	     tagging, enabled with CONFIG_KASAN_HW_TAGS).

152	help
153	  Disables stack instrumentation and thus KASAN's ability to detect
154	  out-of-bounds bugs in stack variables.
155
156	  With Clang, stack instrumentation has a problem that causes excessive
157	  stack usage, see https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=38809. Thus,
158	  with Clang, this option is deemed unsafe.
159
160	  This option is always disabled when compile-testing with Clang to
161	  avoid cluttering the log with stack overflow warnings.
162
163	  With GCC, enabling stack instrumentation is assumed to be safe.
164
165	  If the architecture disables inline instrumentation via
166	  ARCH_DISABLE_KASAN_INLINE, stack instrumentation gets disabled
167	  as well, as it adds inline-style instrumentation that is run
168	  unconditionally.

182	  Makes KASAN check the validity of accesses to vmalloc allocations.
183
184	  With software KASAN modes, all types vmalloc allocations are
185	  checked. Enabling this option leads to higher memory usage.
186
187	  With Hardware Tag-Based KASAN, only non-executable VM_ALLOC mappings
188	  are checked. There is no additional memory usage.
