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.
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.
27 See <file:Documentation/dev-tools/kmsan.rst> for more details.

39 depends on HAVE_KMSAN_PARAM_RETVAL
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.
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.
