19	  KernelMemorySanitizer (KMSAN) is a dynamic detector of uses of
20	  uninitialized values in the kernel. It is based on compiler
21	  instrumentation provided by Clang and thus requires Clang to build.
22
23	  An important note is that KMSAN is not intended for production use,
24	  because it drastically increases kernel memory footprint and slows
25	  the whole system down.
26
27	  See <file:Documentation/dev-tools/kmsan.rst> for more details.

41	  If the compiler supports -fsanitize-memory-param-retval, KMSAN will
42	  eagerly check every function parameter passed by value and every
43	  function return value.
44
45	  Disabling KMSAN_CHECK_PARAM_RETVAL will result in tracking shadow for
46	  function parameters and return values across function borders. This
47	  is a more relaxed mode, but it generates more instrumentation code and
48	  may potentially report errors in corner cases when non-instrumented
49	  functions call instrumented ones.
