30	  The Kernel Concurrency Sanitizer (KCSAN) is a dynamic
31	  data-race detector that relies on compile-time instrumentation.
32	  KCSAN uses a watchpoint-based sampling approach to detect races.
33
34	  While KCSAN's primary purpose is to detect data races, it
35	  also provides assertions to check data access constraints.
36	  These assertions can expose bugs that do not manifest as
37	  data races.
38
39	  See <file:Documentation/dev-tools/kcsan.rst> for more details.

52	  If enabled, reports show more information about the system state that
53	  may help better analyze and debug races. This includes held locks and
54	  IRQ trace events.
55
56	  While this option should generally be benign, we call into more
57	  external functions on report generation; if a race report is
58	  generated from any one of them, system stability may suffer due to
59	  deadlocks or recursion.  If in doubt, say N.

78	  various race scenarios, and verifies the reports generated to
79	  console. Makes use of KUnit for test organization, and the Torture
80	  framework for test thread control.
81
82	  Each test case may run at least up to KCSAN_REPORT_ONCE_IN_MS
83	  milliseconds. Test run duration may be optimized by building the
84	  kernel and KCSAN test with KCSAN_REPORT_ONCE_IN_MS set to a lower
85	  than default value.
86
87	  Say Y here if you want the test to be built into the kernel and run

98config KCSAN_NUM_WATCHPOINTS
99	int "Number of available watchpoints"
100	default 64
101	help
102	  Total number of available watchpoints. An address range maps into a
103	  specific watchpoint slot as specified in kernel/kcsan/encoding.h.
104	  Although larger number of watchpoints may not be usable due to
105	  limited number of CPUs, a larger value helps to improve performance
106	  due to reducing cache-line contention. The chosen default is a
107	  conservative value; we should almost never observe "no_capacity"
108	  events (see /sys/kernel/debug/kcsan).
109
110config KCSAN_UDELAY_TASK

117	int "Delay in microseconds (for interrupts)"
118	default 20
119	help
120	  For interrupts, the microsecond delay after setting up a watchpoint.
121	  Interrupts have tighter latency requirements, and their delay should
122	  be lower than for tasks.
123
124config KCSAN_DELAY_RANDOMIZE
125	bool "Randomize above delays"
126	default y
127	help
128	  If delays should be randomized, where the maximum is KCSAN_UDELAY_*.
129	  If false, the chosen delays are always the KCSAN_UDELAY_* values
130	  as defined above.

132config KCSAN_SKIP_WATCH
133	int "Skip instructions before setting up watchpoint"
134	default 4000
135	help
136	  The number of per-CPU memory operations to skip, before another
137	  watchpoint is set up, i.e. one in KCSAN_WATCH_SKIP per-CPU
138	  memory operations are used to set up a watchpoint. A smaller value
139	  results in more aggressive race detection, whereas a larger value
140	  improves system performance at the cost of missing some races.
141
142config KCSAN_SKIP_WATCH_RANDOMIZE
143	bool "Randomize watchpoint instruction skip count"
144	default y
145	help
146	  If instruction skip count should be randomized, where the maximum is

148	  KCSAN_WATCH_SKIP.
149
150config KCSAN_INTERRUPT_WATCHER
151	bool "Interruptible watchers"
152	help
153	  If enabled, a task that set up a watchpoint may be interrupted while
154	  delayed. This option will allow KCSAN to detect races between
155	  interrupted tasks and other threads of execution on the same CPU.
156
157	  Currently disabled by default, because not all safe per-CPU access
158	  primitives and patterns may be accounted for, and therefore could
159	  result in false positives.
160
161config KCSAN_REPORT_ONCE_IN_MS
162	int "Duration in milliseconds, in which any given race is only reported once"
163	default 3000
164	help
165	  Any given race is only reported once in the defined time window.
166	  Different races may still generate reports within a duration that is
167	  smaller than the duration defined here. This allows rate limiting
168	  reporting to avoid flooding the console with reports.  Setting this
169	  to 0 disables rate limiting.
170
171# The main purpose of the below options is to control reported data races (e.g.
172# in fuzzer configs), and are not expected to be switched frequently by other
173# users. We could turn some of them into boot parameters, but given they should
174# not be switched normally, let's keep them here to simplify configuration.

178
179config KCSAN_REPORT_RACE_UNKNOWN_ORIGIN
180	bool "Report races of unknown origin"
181	default y
182	help
183	  If KCSAN should report races where only one access is known, and the
184	  conflicting access is of unknown origin. This type of race is
185	  reported if it was only possible to infer a race due to a data value
186	  change while an access is being delayed on a watchpoint.
187
188config KCSAN_REPORT_VALUE_CHANGE_ONLY
189	bool "Only report races where watcher observed a data value change"
190	default y
191	help
192	  If enabled and a conflicting write is observed via a watchpoint, but
193	  the data value of the memory location was observed to remain
194	  unchanged, do not report the data race.
195
196config KCSAN_ASSUME_PLAIN_WRITES_ATOMIC
197	bool "Assume that plain aligned writes up to word size are atomic"
198	default y
199	help
200	  Assume that plain aligned writes up to word size are atomic by
201	  default, and also not subject to other unsafe compiler optimizations
202	  resulting in data races. This will cause KCSAN to not report data
203	  races due to conflicts where the only plain accesses are aligned
204	  writes up to word size: conflicts between marked reads and plain
205	  aligned writes up to word size will not be reported as data races;
206	  notice that data races between two conflicting plain aligned writes
207	  will also not be reported.
208
209config KCSAN_IGNORE_ATOMICS
210	bool "Do not instrument marked atomic accesses"
211	help
212	  Never instrument marked atomic accesses. This option can be used for
213	  additional filtering. Conflicting marked atomic reads and plain
214	  writes will never be reported as a data race, however, will cause
215	  plain reads and marked writes to result in "unknown origin" reports.
216	  If combined with CONFIG_KCSAN_REPORT_RACE_UNKNOWN_ORIGIN=n, data
217	  races where at least one access is marked atomic will never be
218	  reported.
219
220	  Similar to KCSAN_ASSUME_PLAIN_WRITES_ATOMIC, but including unaligned
221	  accesses, conflicting marked atomic reads and plain writes will not
222	  be reported as data races; however, unlike that option, data races
223	  due to two conflicting plain writes will be reported (aligned and
224	  unaligned, if CONFIG_KCSAN_ASSUME_PLAIN_WRITES_ATOMIC=n).
