65	  KASAN has three modes:
66
67	  1. Generic KASAN (supported by many architectures, enabled with
68	     CONFIG_KASAN_GENERIC, similar to userspace ASan),
69	  2. Software Tag-Based KASAN (arm64 only, based on software memory
70	     tagging, enabled with CONFIG_KASAN_SW_TAGS, similar to userspace
71	     HWASan), and
72	  3. Hardware Tag-Based KASAN (arm64 only, based on hardware memory
73	     tagging, enabled with CONFIG_KASAN_HW_TAGS).

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

179
180	  With software KASAN modes, all types vmalloc allocations are
181	  checked. Enabling this option leads to higher memory usage.
182

216
217	  In Generic KASAN, each kmalloc-8 and kmalloc-16 object will add
218	  16 bytes of additional memory consumption, and each kmalloc-32
219	  object will add 8 bytes of additional memory consumption, not
220	  affecting other larger objects.
221
222	  In SW_TAGS KASAN and HW_TAGS KASAN, depending on the stack_ring_size
223	  boot parameter, it will add 8 * stack_ring_size bytes of additional
224	  memory consumption.
