11	  Enables kernel address sanitizer - runtime memory debugger,
12	  designed to find out-of-bounds accesses and use-after-free bugs.
13	  This is strictly a debugging feature and it requires a gcc version
14	  of 4.9.2 or later. Detection of out of bounds accesses to stack or
15	  global variables requires gcc 5.0 or later.
16	  This feature consumes about 1/8 of available memory and brings about
17	  ~x3 performance slowdown.
18	  For better error detection enable CONFIG_STACKTRACE,
19	  and add slub_debug=U to boot cmdline.

31	bool "Outline instrumentation"
32	help
33	  Before every memory access compiler insert function call
34	  __asan_load*/__asan_store*. These functions performs check
35	  of shadow memory. This is slower than inline instrumentation,
36	  however it doesn't bloat size of kernel's .text section so
37	  much as inline does.

40	bool "Inline instrumentation"
41	help
42	  Compiler directly inserts code checking shadow memory before
43	  memory accesses. This is faster than outline (in some workloads
44	  it gives about x2 boost over outline instrumentation), but
45	  make kernel's .text size much bigger.
46	  This requires a gcc version of 5.0 or later.

55	  out of bounds accesses, use after free. It is useful for testing
56	  kernel debugging features like kernel address sanitizer.
