	  KASAN has three modes:

	  1. Generic KASAN (supported by many architectures, enabled with
	     CONFIG_KASAN_GENERIC, similar to userspace ASan),
	  2. Software Tag-Based KASAN (arm64 only, based on software memory
	     tagging, enabled with CONFIG_KASAN_SW_TAGS, similar to userspace
	     HWASan), and
	  3. Hardware Tag-Based KASAN (arm64 only, based on hardware memory
	     tagging, enabled with CONFIG_KASAN_HW_TAGS).

	  See Documentation/dev-tools/kasan.rst for details about each mode.

	depends on CC_HAS_WORKING_NOSANITIZE_ADDRESS
	select SLUB_DEBUG if SLUB
	select CONSTRUCTORS
	help
	  Enables Generic KASAN.

	  Requires GCC 8.3.0+ or Clang.

	  Consumes about 1/8th of available memory at kernel start and adds an
	  overhead of ~50% for dynamic allocations.
	  The performance slowdown is ~x3.

	  (Incompatible with CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB: the kernel does not boot.)

	  Enables Software Tag-Based KASAN.

	  Requires GCC 11+ or Clang.

	  Supported only on arm64 CPUs and relies on Top Byte Ignore.

	  Consumes about 1/16th of available memory at kernel start and
	  add an overhead of ~20% for dynamic allocations.

	  May potentially introduce problems related to pointer casting and
	  comparison, as it embeds a tag into the top byte of each pointer.

	  Requires GCC 10+ or Clang 12+.

	  Supported only on arm64 CPUs starting from ARMv8.5 and relies on
	  Memory Tagging Extension and Top Byte Ignore.

	  Consumes about 1/32nd of available memory.

	  May potentially introduce problems related to pointer casting and
	  comparison, as it embeds a tag into the top byte of each pointer.

config KASAN_OUTLINE
	bool "Outline instrumentation"
	help
	  Makes the compiler insert function calls that check whether the memory
	  is accessible before each memory access. Slower than KASAN_INLINE, but
	  does not bloat the size of the kernel's .text section so much.

config KASAN_INLINE
	bool "Inline instrumentation"
	depends on !ARCH_DISABLE_KASAN_INLINE
	help
	  Makes the compiler directly insert memory accessibility checks before
	  each memory access. Faster than KASAN_OUTLINE (gives ~x2 boost for
	  some workloads), but makes the kernel's .text size much bigger.

config KASAN_STACK
	bool "Stack instrumentation (unsafe)" if CC_IS_CLANG && !COMPILE_TEST
	depends on KASAN_GENERIC || KASAN_SW_TAGS
	depends on !ARCH_DISABLE_KASAN_INLINE
	default y if CC_IS_GCC
	help
	  Disables stack instrumentation and thus KASAN's ability to detect
	  out-of-bounds bugs in stack variables.

	  With Clang, stack instrumentation has a problem that causes excessive
	  stack usage, see https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=38809. Thus,
	  with Clang, this option is deemed unsafe.

	  This option is always disabled when compile-testing with Clang to
	  avoid cluttering the log with stack overflow warnings.

	  With GCC, enabling stack instrumentation is assumed to be safe.

	  If the architecture disables inline instrumentation via
	  ARCH_DISABLE_KASAN_INLINE, stack instrumentation gets disabled
	  as well, as it adds inline-style instrumentation that is run
	  unconditionally.

config KASAN_VMALLOC
	bool "Check accesses to vmalloc allocations"
	depends on HAVE_ARCH_KASAN_VMALLOC
	help
	  Makes KASAN check the validity of accesses to vmalloc allocations.

	  With software KASAN modes, all types vmalloc allocations are
	  checked. Enabling this option leads to higher memory usage.

	  With Hardware Tag-Based KASAN, only non-executable VM_ALLOC mappings
	  are checked. There is no additional memory usage.

	  A KUnit-based KASAN test suite. Triggers different kinds of
	  out-of-bounds and use-after-free accesses. Useful for testing whether
	  KASAN can detect certain bug types.

	  For more information on KUnit and unit tests in general, please refer
