| default KASAN_GENERIC |
| help |
| KASAN has two modes: generic KASAN (similar to userspace ASan, |
| x86_64/arm64/xtensa, enabled with CONFIG_KASAN_GENERIC) and |
| software tag-based KASAN (a version based on software memory |
| tagging, arm64 only, similar to userspace HWASan, enabled with |
| CONFIG_KASAN_SW_TAGS). |
| Both generic and tag-based KASAN are strictly debugging features. |

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

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

| includes the address-use-after-scope check that can lead to |
| excessive kernel stack usage, frame size warnings and longer |
| compile time. |

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

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

| help |
| This is a test module doing various nasty things like |
| out of bounds accesses, use after free. It is useful for testing |
| kernel debugging features like KASAN. |
