+The Kernel Address Sanitizer (KASAN)
+====================================
+
+Overview
+--------
+
+KernelAddressSANitizer (KASAN) is a dynamic memory error detector. It provides
+a fast and comprehensive solution for finding use-after-free and out-of-bounds
+bugs.
+
+KASAN uses compile-time instrumentation for checking every memory access,
+therefore you will need a GCC version 4.9.2 or later. GCC 5.0 or later is
+required for detection of out-of-bounds accesses to stack or global variables.
+
+Currently KASAN is supported only for x86_64 architecture.
+
+Usage
+-----
+
+To enable KASAN configure kernel with::
+
+ CONFIG_KASAN = y
+
+and choose between CONFIG_KASAN_OUTLINE and CONFIG_KASAN_INLINE. Outline and
+inline are compiler instrumentation types. The former produces smaller binary
+the latter is 1.1 - 2 times faster. Inline instrumentation requires a GCC
+version 5.0 or later.
+
+KASAN works with both SLUB and SLAB memory allocators.
+For better bug detection and nicer reporting, enable CONFIG_STACKTRACE.
+
+To disable instrumentation for specific files or directories, add a line
+similar to the following to the respective kernel Makefile:
+
+- For a single file (e.g. main.o)::
+
+ KASAN_SANITIZE_main.o := n
+
+- For all files in one directory::
+
+ KASAN_SANITIZE := n
+

+We use the following encoding for each shadow byte: 0 means that all 8 bytes
+of the corresponding memory region are accessible; number N (1 <= N <= 7) means
+that the first N bytes are accessible, and other (8 - N) bytes are not;
+any negative value indicates that the entire 8-byte word is inaccessible.
+We use different negative values to distinguish between different kinds of

+
+Implementation details
+----------------------
+
+From a high level, our approach to memory error detection is similar to that
+of kmemcheck: use shadow memory to record whether each byte of memory is safe
+to access, and use compile-time instrumentation to check shadow memory on each
+memory access.
+
+AddressSanitizer dedicates 1/8 of kernel memory to its shadow memory
+(e.g. 16TB to cover 128TB on x86_64) and uses direct mapping with a scale and
+offset to translate a memory address to its corresponding shadow address.
+
+Here is the function which translates an address to its corresponding shadow
+address::
+
+ static inline void *kasan_mem_to_shadow(const void *addr)
+ {
+ return ((unsigned long)addr >> KASAN_SHADOW_SCALE_SHIFT)
+ + KASAN_SHADOW_OFFSET;
+ }
+
+where ``KASAN_SHADOW_SCALE_SHIFT = 3``.
+
+Compile-time instrumentation used for checking memory accesses. Compiler inserts
+function calls (__asan_load*(addr), __asan_store*(addr)) before each memory
+access of size 1, 2, 4, 8 or 16. These functions check whether memory access is
+valid or not by checking corresponding shadow memory.
+
+GCC 5.0 has possibility to perform inline instrumentation. Instead of making
+function calls GCC directly inserts the code to check the shadow memory.
+This option significantly enlarges kernel but it gives x1.1-x2 performance
+boost over outline instrumented kernel.
