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

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

73	  various race scenarios, and verifies the reports generated to
74	  console. Makes use of KUnit for test organization, and the Torture
75	  framework for test thread control.
76
77	  Each test case may run at least up to KCSAN_REPORT_ONCE_IN_MS
78	  milliseconds. Test run duration may be optimized by building the
79	  kernel and KCSAN test with KCSAN_REPORT_ONCE_IN_MS set to a lower
80	  than default value.
81
82	  Say Y here if you want the test to be built into the kernel and run

93config KCSAN_NUM_WATCHPOINTS
94	int "Number of available watchpoints"
95	default 64
96	help
97	  Total number of available watchpoints. An address range maps into a
98	  specific watchpoint slot as specified in kernel/kcsan/encoding.h.
99	  Although larger number of watchpoints may not be usable due to
100	  limited number of CPUs, a larger value helps to improve performance
101	  due to reducing cache-line contention. The chosen default is a
102	  conservative value; we should almost never observe "no_capacity"
103	  events (see /sys/kernel/debug/kcsan).
104
105config KCSAN_UDELAY_TASK

113	default 20
114	help
115	  For interrupts, the microsecond delay after setting up a watchpoint.
116	  Interrupts have tighter latency requirements, and their delay should
117	  be lower than for tasks.
118
119config KCSAN_DELAY_RANDOMIZE
120	bool "Randomize above delays"
121	default y
122	help
123	  If delays should be randomized, where the maximum is KCSAN_UDELAY_*.

131	  The number of per-CPU memory operations to skip, before another
132	  watchpoint is set up, i.e. one in KCSAN_WATCH_SKIP per-CPU
133	  memory operations are used to set up a watchpoint. A smaller value
134	  results in more aggressive race detection, whereas a larger value
135	  improves system performance at the cost of missing some races.
136
137config KCSAN_SKIP_WATCH_RANDOMIZE
138	bool "Randomize watchpoint instruction skip count"
139	default y
140	help
141	  If instruction skip count should be randomized, where the maximum is

145config KCSAN_INTERRUPT_WATCHER
146	bool "Interruptible watchers"
147	help
148	  If enabled, a task that set up a watchpoint may be interrupted while
149	  delayed. This option will allow KCSAN to detect races between
150	  interrupted tasks and other threads of execution on the same CPU.
151
152	  Currently disabled by default, because not all safe per-CPU access
153	  primitives and patterns may be accounted for, and therefore could
154	  result in false positives.
155
156config KCSAN_REPORT_ONCE_IN_MS
157	int "Duration in milliseconds, in which any given race is only reported once"
158	default 3000
159	help
160	  Any given race is only reported once in the defined time window.
161	  Different races may still generate reports within a duration that is
162	  smaller than the duration defined here. This allows rate limiting
163	  reporting to avoid flooding the console with reports.  Setting this
164	  to 0 disables rate limiting.
165
166# The main purpose of the below options is to control reported data races (e.g.
167# in fuzzer configs), and are not expected to be switched frequently by other
168# users. We could turn some of them into boot parameters, but given they should
169# not be switched normally, let's keep them here to simplify configuration.

173
174config KCSAN_REPORT_RACE_UNKNOWN_ORIGIN
175	bool "Report races of unknown origin"
176	default y
177	help
178	  If KCSAN should report races where only one access is known, and the
179	  conflicting access is of unknown origin. This type of race is
180	  reported if it was only possible to infer a race due to a data value
181	  change while an access is being delayed on a watchpoint.
182
183config KCSAN_REPORT_VALUE_CHANGE_ONLY
184	bool "Only report races where watcher observed a data value change"
185	default y
186	help
187	  If enabled and a conflicting write is observed via a watchpoint, but
188	  the data value of the memory location was observed to remain
189	  unchanged, do not report the data race.
190
191config KCSAN_ASSUME_PLAIN_WRITES_ATOMIC
192	bool "Assume that plain aligned writes up to word size are atomic"
193	default y
194	help
195	  Assume that plain aligned writes up to word size are atomic by
196	  default, and also not subject to other unsafe compiler optimizations
197	  resulting in data races. This will cause KCSAN to not report data
198	  races due to conflicts where the only plain accesses are aligned
199	  writes up to word size: conflicts between marked reads and plain
200	  aligned writes up to word size will not be reported as data races;
201	  notice that data races between two conflicting plain aligned writes
202	  will also not be reported.
203
204config KCSAN_IGNORE_ATOMICS
205	bool "Do not instrument marked atomic accesses"
206	help
207	  Never instrument marked atomic accesses. This option can be used for
208	  additional filtering. Conflicting marked atomic reads and plain
209	  writes will never be reported as a data race, however, will cause
210	  plain reads and marked writes to result in "unknown origin" reports.
211	  If combined with CONFIG_KCSAN_REPORT_RACE_UNKNOWN_ORIGIN=n, data
212	  races where at least one access is marked atomic will never be
213	  reported.
214
215	  Similar to KCSAN_ASSUME_PLAIN_WRITES_ATOMIC, but including unaligned
216	  accesses, conflicting marked atomic reads and plain writes will not
217	  be reported as data races; however, unlike that option, data races
218	  due to two conflicting plain writes will be reported (aligned and
219	  unaligned, if CONFIG_KCSAN_ASSUME_PLAIN_WRITES_ATOMIC=n).
