28	help
29	  The Kernel Concurrency Sanitizer (KCSAN) is a dynamic
30	  data-race detector that relies on compile-time instrumentation.
31	  KCSAN uses a watchpoint-based sampling approach to detect races.
32
33	  While KCSAN's primary purpose is to detect data races, it
34	  also provides assertions to check data access constraints.
35	  These assertions can expose bugs that do not manifest as
36	  data races.
37
38	  See <file:Documentation/dev-tools/kcsan.rst> for more details.

43	bool "Show verbose reports with more information about system state"
44	depends on PROVE_LOCKING
45	help
46	  If enabled, reports show more information about the system state that
47	  may help better analyze and debug races. This includes held locks and
48	  IRQ trace events.
49
50	  While this option should generally be benign, we call into more
51	  external functions on report generation; if a race report is
52	  generated from any one of them, system stability may suffer due to
53	  deadlocks or recursion.  If in doubt, say N.

64config KCSAN_EARLY_ENABLE
65	bool "Early enable during boot"

71config KCSAN_NUM_WATCHPOINTS
72	int "Number of available watchpoints"
73	default 64
74	help
75	  Total number of available watchpoints. An address range maps into a
76	  specific watchpoint slot as specified in kernel/kcsan/encoding.h.
77	  Although larger number of watchpoints may not be usable due to
78	  limited number of CPUs, a larger value helps to improve performance
79	  due to reducing cache-line contention. The chosen default is a
80	  conservative value; we should almost never observe "no_capacity"
81	  events (see /sys/kernel/debug/kcsan).

83config KCSAN_UDELAY_TASK

91	default 20
92	help
93	  For interrupts, the microsecond delay after setting up a watchpoint.
94	  Interrupts have tighter latency requirements, and their delay should
95	  be lower than for tasks.
96
97config KCSAN_DELAY_RANDOMIZE
98	bool "Randomize above delays"
99	default y
100	help
101	  If delays should be randomized, where the maximum is KCSAN_UDELAY_*.
102	  If false, the chosen delays are always the KCSAN_UDELAY_* values
103	  as defined above.

105config KCSAN_SKIP_WATCH
106	int "Skip instructions before setting up watchpoint"
107	default 4000
108	help
109	  The number of per-CPU memory operations to skip, before another
110	  watchpoint is set up, i.e. one in KCSAN_WATCH_SKIP per-CPU
111	  memory operations are used to set up a watchpoint. A smaller value
112	  results in more aggressive race detection, whereas a larger value
113	  improves system performance at the cost of missing some races.
114
115config KCSAN_SKIP_WATCH_RANDOMIZE
116	bool "Randomize watchpoint instruction skip count"
117	default y
118	help
119	  If instruction skip count should be randomized, where the maximum is
120	  KCSAN_WATCH_SKIP. If false, the chosen value is always
121	  KCSAN_WATCH_SKIP.
122
123config KCSAN_INTERRUPT_WATCHER
124	bool "Interruptible watchers"
125	help
126	  If enabled, a task that set up a watchpoint may be interrupted while
127	  delayed. This option will allow KCSAN to detect races between
128	  interrupted tasks and other threads of execution on the same CPU.
129
130	  Currently disabled by default, because not all safe per-CPU access
131	  primitives and patterns may be accounted for, and therefore could
132	  result in false positives.
133
134config KCSAN_REPORT_ONCE_IN_MS
135	int "Duration in milliseconds, in which any given race is only reported once"
136	default 3000
137	help
138	  Any given race is only reported once in the defined time window.
139	  Different races may still generate reports within a duration that is
140	  smaller than the duration defined here. This allows rate limiting
141	  reporting to avoid flooding the console with reports.  Setting this
142	  to 0 disables rate limiting.
143
144# The main purpose of the below options is to control reported data races (e.g.
145# in fuzzer configs), and are not expected to be switched frequently by other
146# users. We could turn some of them into boot parameters, but given they should
147# not be switched normally, let's keep them here to simplify configuration.

149# The defaults below are chosen to be very conservative, and may miss certain
150# bugs.
151
152config KCSAN_REPORT_RACE_UNKNOWN_ORIGIN
153	bool "Report races of unknown origin"
154	default y
155	help
156	  If KCSAN should report races where only one access is known, and the
157	  conflicting access is of unknown origin. This type of race is
158	  reported if it was only possible to infer a race due to a data value
159	  change while an access is being delayed on a watchpoint.
160
161config KCSAN_REPORT_VALUE_CHANGE_ONLY
162	bool "Only report races where watcher observed a data value change"
163	default y
164	help
165	  If enabled and a conflicting write is observed via a watchpoint, but
166	  the data value of the memory location was observed to remain
167	  unchanged, do not report the data race.
168
169config KCSAN_ASSUME_PLAIN_WRITES_ATOMIC
170	bool "Assume that plain aligned writes up to word size are atomic"
171	default y
172	help
173	  Assume that plain aligned writes up to word size are atomic by
174	  default, and also not subject to other unsafe compiler optimizations
175	  resulting in data races. This will cause KCSAN to not report data
176	  races due to conflicts where the only plain accesses are aligned
177	  writes up to word size: conflicts between marked reads and plain
178	  aligned writes up to word size will not be reported as data races;
179	  notice that data races between two conflicting plain aligned writes
180	  will also not be reported.
181
182config KCSAN_IGNORE_ATOMICS
183	bool "Do not instrument marked atomic accesses"
184	help
185	  Never instrument marked atomic accesses. This option can be used for
186	  additional filtering. Conflicting marked atomic reads and plain
187	  writes will never be reported as a data race, however, will cause
188	  plain reads and marked writes to result in "unknown origin" reports.
189	  If combined with CONFIG_KCSAN_REPORT_RACE_UNKNOWN_ORIGIN=n, data
190	  races where at least one access is marked atomic will never be
191	  reported.
192
193	  Similar to KCSAN_ASSUME_PLAIN_WRITES_ATOMIC, but including unaligned
194	  accesses, conflicting marked atomic reads and plain writes will not
195	  be reported as data races; however, unlike that option, data races
196	  due to two conflicting plain writes will be reported (aligned and
197	  unaligned, if CONFIG_KCSAN_ASSUME_PLAIN_WRITES_ATOMIC=n).
