	help
	  KASAN has three modes:
	  1. generic KASAN (similar to userspace ASan,
	     x86_64/arm64/xtensa, enabled with CONFIG_KASAN_GENERIC),
	  2. software tag-based KASAN (arm64 only, based on software
	     memory tagging (similar to userspace HWASan), enabled with
	     CONFIG_KASAN_SW_TAGS), and
	  3. hardware tag-based KASAN (arm64 only, based on hardware
	     memory tagging, enabled with CONFIG_KASAN_HW_TAGS).

	  All KASAN modes are strictly debugging features.

	  For better error reports enable CONFIG_STACKTRACE.

config KASAN_GENERIC
	bool "Generic mode"
	depends on HAVE_ARCH_KASAN && CC_HAS_KASAN_GENERIC
	select SLUB_DEBUG if SLUB
	select CONSTRUCTORS
	help
	  Enables generic KASAN mode.

	  This mode is supported in both GCC and Clang. With GCC it requires
	  version 8.3.0 or later. Any supported Clang version is compatible,
	  but detection of out-of-bounds accesses for global variables is
	  supported only since Clang 11.

	  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.

	  Currently CONFIG_KASAN_GENERIC doesn't work with CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB
	  (the resulting kernel does not boot).

config KASAN_SW_TAGS
	bool "Software tag-based mode"
	depends on HAVE_ARCH_KASAN_SW_TAGS && CC_HAS_KASAN_SW_TAGS
	select SLUB_DEBUG if SLUB
	select CONSTRUCTORS
	help
	  Enables software tag-based KASAN mode.

	  This mode require software memory tagging support in the form of
	  HWASan-like compiler instrumentation.

	  Currently this mode is only implemented for arm64 CPUs and relies on
	  Top Byte Ignore. This mode requires Clang.

	  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.

	  Currently CONFIG_KASAN_SW_TAGS doesn't work with CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB
	  (the resulting kernel does not boot).

config KASAN_HW_TAGS
	bool "Hardware tag-based mode"
	depends on HAVE_ARCH_KASAN_HW_TAGS
	depends on SLUB
	help
	  Enables hardware tag-based KASAN mode.

	  This mode requires hardware memory tagging support, and can be used
	  by any architecture that provides it.

	  Currently this mode is only implemented for arm64 CPUs starting from
	  ARMv8.5 and relies on Memory Tagging Extension and Top Byte Ignore.

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.

config KASAN_STACK_ENABLE
	bool "Enable stack instrumentation (unsafe)" if CC_IS_CLANG && !COMPILE_TEST
	depends on KASAN_GENERIC || KASAN_SW_TAGS
	help
	  The LLVM stack address sanitizer has a know problem that
	  causes excessive stack usage in a lot of functions, see
	  https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=38809
	  Disabling asan-stack makes it safe to run kernels build
	  with clang-8 with KASAN enabled, though it loses some of
	  the functionality.
	  This feature is always disabled when compile-testing with clang
	  to avoid cluttering the output in stack overflow warnings,
	  but clang users can still enable it for builds without
	  CONFIG_COMPILE_TEST.	On gcc it is assumed to always be safe
	  to use and enabled by default.

config KASAN_STACK

config KASAN_SW_TAGS_IDENTIFY
	bool "Enable memory corruption identification"
	depends on KASAN_SW_TAGS
	help
	  This option enables best-effort identification of bug type
	  (use-after-free or out-of-bounds) at the cost of increased
	  memory consumption.

config KASAN_VMALLOC
	bool "Back mappings in vmalloc space with real shadow memory"
	depends on KASAN_GENERIC && HAVE_ARCH_KASAN_VMALLOC
	help
	  By default, the shadow region for vmalloc space is the read-only
	  zero page. This means that KASAN cannot detect errors involving
	  vmalloc space.

	  Enabling this option will hook in to vmap/vmalloc and back those
	  mappings with real shadow memory allocated on demand. This allows
	  for KASAN to detect more sorts of errors (and to support vmapped
	  stacks), but at the cost of higher memory usage.

	  This is a KUnit test suite doing various nasty things like
	  out of bounds and use after free accesses. It is useful for testing
	  kernel debugging features like KASAN.

	  to the KUnit documentation in Documentation/dev-tools/kunit

	  This is a part of the KASAN test suite that is incompatible with
	  KUnit. Currently includes tests that do bad copy_from/to_user
	  accesses.
