The initially proposed KASAN command line parameters are redundant. This change drops the complex "kasan.mode=off/prod/full" parameter and adds a simpler kill switch "kasan=off/on" instead. The new parameter together with the already existing ones provides a cleaner way to express the same set of features.
The full set of parameters with this change: kasan=off/on - whether KASAN is enabled kasan.fault=report/panic - whether to only print a report or also panic kasan.stacktrace=off/on - whether to collect alloc/free stack traces Default values: kasan=on kasan.fault=report kasan.stacktrace=on (if CONFIG_DEBUG_KERNEL=y) kasan.stacktrace=off (otherwise) Link: https://linux-review.googlesource.com/id/Ib3694ed90b1e8ccac6cf77dfd301847af4aba7b8 Signed-off-by: Andrey Konovalov <andreyk...@google.com> --- Documentation/dev-tools/kasan.rst | 27 +++-------- mm/kasan/hw_tags.c | 77 +++++++++++++------------------ 2 files changed, 38 insertions(+), 66 deletions(-) diff --git a/Documentation/dev-tools/kasan.rst b/Documentation/dev-tools/kasan.rst index 0fc3fb1860c4..1651d961f06a 100644 --- a/Documentation/dev-tools/kasan.rst +++ b/Documentation/dev-tools/kasan.rst @@ -160,29 +160,14 @@ intended for use in production as a security mitigation.
