	  See Documentation/dev-tools/kasan.rst for details.

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

config KASAN_GENERIC
	bool "Generic mode"
	depends on HAVE_ARCH_KASAN && CC_HAS_KASAN_GENERIC
	depends on (SLUB && SYSFS) || (SLAB && !DEBUG_SLAB)
	select SLUB_DEBUG if SLUB
	select CONSTRUCTORS
	select STACKDEPOT
	help
	  Enables generic KASAN mode.
	  Supported in both GCC and Clang. With GCC it requires version 4.9.2
	  or later for basic support and version 5.0 or later for detection of
	  out-of-bounds accesses for stack and global variables and for inline
	  instrumentation mode (CONFIG_KASAN_INLINE). With Clang it requires
	  version 3.7.0 or later and it doesn't support detection of
	  out-of-bounds accesses for global variables yet.
	  This mode consumes about 1/8th of available memory at kernel start
	  and introduces an overhead of ~x1.5 for the rest of the allocations.
	  The performance slowdown is ~x3.
	  For better error detection enable CONFIG_STACKTRACE.
	  Currently CONFIG_KASAN_GENERIC doesn't work with CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB
	  (the resulting kernel does not boot).

config KASAN_SW_TAGS
	bool "Software tag-based mode"
	depends on HAVE_ARCH_KASAN_SW_TAGS && CC_HAS_KASAN_SW_TAGS
	depends on (SLUB && SYSFS) || (SLAB && !DEBUG_SLAB)
	select SLUB_DEBUG if SLUB
	select CONSTRUCTORS
	select STACKDEPOT
	help
	  Enables software tag-based KASAN mode.
	  This mode requires Top Byte Ignore support by the CPU and therefore
	  is only supported for arm64.
	  This mode requires Clang version 7.0.0 or later.
	  This mode consumes about 1/16th of available memory at kernel start
	  and introduces an overhead of ~20% for the rest of the allocations.
	  This mode may potentially introduce problems relating to pointer
	  casting and comparison, as it embeds tags into the top byte of each
	  pointer.
	  For better error detection enable CONFIG_STACKTRACE.
	  Currently CONFIG_KASAN_SW_TAGS doesn't work with CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB
	  (the resulting kernel does not boot).

config KASAN_EXTRA
	bool "KASAN: extra checks"
	depends on KASAN_GENERIC && DEBUG_KERNEL && !COMPILE_TEST
	help
	  This enables further checks in generic KASAN, for now it only
	  includes the address-use-after-scope check that can lead to
	  excessive kernel stack usage, frame size warnings and longer
	  compile time.
	  See https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=81715

choice
	prompt "Instrumentation type"
	depends on KASAN
	default KASAN_OUTLINE

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

config KASAN_INLINE
	bool "Inline instrumentation"
	help
	  Compiler directly inserts code checking shadow memory before
	  memory accesses. This is faster than outline (in some workloads
	  it gives about x2 boost over outline instrumentation), but
	  make kernel's .text size much bigger.
	  For CONFIG_KASAN_GENERIC this requires GCC 5.0 or later.

config KASAN_S390_4_LEVEL_PAGING
	bool "KASan: use 4-level paging"
	depends on KASAN && S390
	help
	  Compiling the kernel with KASan disables automatic 3-level vs
	  4-level paging selection. 3-level paging is used by default (up
	  to 3TB of RAM with KASan enabled). This options allows to force
	  4-level paging instead.

config TEST_KASAN
	tristate "Module for testing KASAN for bug detection"
	depends on m && KASAN
	help
	  This is a test module doing various nasty things like
	  out of bounds accesses, use after free. It is useful for testing
	  kernel debugging features like KASAN.
