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

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

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

84	help
85	  This enables further checks in generic KASAN, for now it only
86	  includes the address-use-after-scope check that can lead to
87	  excessive kernel stack usage, frame size warnings and longer
88	  compile time.

96config KASAN_OUTLINE
97	bool "Outline instrumentation"
98	help
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
103	  much as inline does.
104
105config KASAN_INLINE
106	bool "Inline instrumentation"
107	help
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.
112	  For CONFIG_KASAN_GENERIC this requires GCC 5.0 or later.

117	bool "KASan: use 4-level paging"
118	depends on KASAN && S390
119	help
120	  Compiling the kernel with KASan disables automatic 3-level vs
121	  4-level paging selection. 3-level paging is used by default (up
122	  to 3TB of RAM with KASan enabled). This options allows to force
123	  4-level paging instead.

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