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

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

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

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

112	  The LLVM stack address sanitizer has a know problem that
113	  causes excessive stack usage in a lot of functions, see

115	  Disabling asan-stack makes it safe to run kernels build
116	  with clang-8 with KASAN enabled, though it loses some of
117	  the functionality.
118	  This feature is always disabled when compile-testing with clang-8
119	  or earlier to avoid cluttering the output in stack overflow
120	  warnings, but clang-8 users can still enable it for builds without
121	  CONFIG_COMPILE_TEST.  On gcc and later clang versions it is
122	  assumed to always be safe to use and enabled by default.

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

144	  kernel debugging features like KASAN.
