30 Enables KASAN (KernelAddressSANitizer) - runtime memory debugger,
31 designed to find out-of-bounds accesses and use-after-free bugs.
32 See Documentation/dev-tools/kasan.rst for details.
40 KASAN has two modes: generic KASAN (similar to userspace ASan,
41 x86_64/arm64/xtensa, enabled with CONFIG_KASAN_GENERIC) and
42 software tag-based KASAN (a version based on software memory
43 tagging, arm64 only, similar to userspace HWASan, enabled with
44 CONFIG_KASAN_SW_TAGS).
46 Both generic and tag-based KASAN are strictly debugging features.

51 select SLUB_DEBUG if SLUB
53 Enables generic KASAN mode.
55 This mode is supported in both GCC and Clang. With GCC it requires
56 version 8.3.0 or later. Any supported Clang version is compatible,
57 but detection of out-of-bounds accesses for global variables is
58 supported only since Clang 11.
60 This mode consumes about 1/8th of available memory at kernel start
61 and introduces an overhead of ~x1.5 for the rest of the allocations.
62 The performance slowdown is ~x3.
64 For better error detection enable CONFIG_STACKTRACE.
66 Currently CONFIG_KASAN_GENERIC doesn't work with CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB
67 (the resulting kernel does not boot).

79 This mode consumes about 1/16th of available memory at kernel start
80 and introduces an overhead of ~20% for the rest of the allocations.
81 This mode may potentially introduce problems relating to pointer
82 casting and comparison, as it embeds tags into the top byte of each

93 prompt "Instrumentation type"
97 bool "Outline instrumentation"
99 Before every memory access compiler insert function call
100 __asan_load*/__asan_store*. These functions performs check
101 of shadow memory. This is slower than inline instrumentation,
102 however it doesn't bloat size of kernel's .text section so
106 bool "Inline instrumentation"
108 Compiler directly inserts code checking shadow memory before
109 memory accesses. This is faster than outline (in some workloads
110 it gives about x2 boost over outline instrumentation), but
111 make kernel's .text size much bigger.

118 The LLVM stack address sanitizer has a know problem that
119 causes excessive stack usage in a lot of functions, see

121 Disabling asan-stack makes it safe to run kernels build
122 with clang-8 with KASAN enabled, though it loses some of
124 This feature is always disabled when compile-testing with clang
125 to avoid cluttering the output in stack overflow warnings,
126 but clang users can still enable it for builds without

128 to use and enabled by default.

147 By default, the shadow region for vmalloc space is the read-only
148 zero page. This means that KASAN cannot detect errors involving
151 Enabling this option will hook in to vmap/vmalloc and back those
152 mappings with real shadow memory allocated on demand. This allows
153 for KASAN to detect more sorts of errors (and to support vmapped
154 stacks), but at the cost of higher memory usage.
