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

+ help
+ The compiler instruments plain compound read-write operations
+ differently (++, --, +=, -=, |=, &=, etc.), which allows KCSAN to
+ distinguish them from other plain accesses. This is currently
+ supported by Clang 12 or later.
+
+config KCSAN_VERBOSE
+ bool "Show verbose reports with more information about system state"
+ depends on PROVE_LOCKING
+ help
+ If enabled, reports show more information about the system state that
+ may help better analyze and debug races. This includes held locks and
+ IRQ trace events.
+
+ While this option should generally be benign, we call into more
+ external functions on report generation; if a race report is
+ generated from any one of them, system stability may suffer due to
+ deadlocks or recursion. If in doubt, say N.
+
+config KCSAN_SELFTEST
+ bool "Perform short selftests on boot"
+ default y
+ help
+ Run KCSAN selftests on boot. On test failure, causes the kernel to
+ panic. Recommended to be enabled, ensuring critical functionality
+ works as intended.

+ select TORTURE_TEST
+ help
+ KCSAN test focusing on behaviour of the integrated runtime. Tests
+ various race scenarios, and verifies the reports generated to
+ console. Makes use of KUnit for test organization, and the Torture
+ framework for test thread control.
+
+ Each test case may run at least up to KCSAN_REPORT_ONCE_IN_MS
+ milliseconds. Test run duration may be optimized by building the
+ kernel and KCSAN test with KCSAN_REPORT_ONCE_IN_MS set to a lower
+ than default value.
+
+ Say Y here if you want the test to be built into the kernel and run
+ during boot; say M if you want the test to build as a module; say N
+ if you are unsure.
+
+config KCSAN_EARLY_ENABLE
+ bool "Early enable during boot"
+ default y
+ help
+ If KCSAN should be enabled globally as soon as possible. KCSAN can
+ later be enabled/disabled via debugfs.
+
+config KCSAN_NUM_WATCHPOINTS
+ int "Number of available watchpoints"
+ default 64
+ help
+ Total number of available watchpoints. An address range maps into a
+ specific watchpoint slot as specified in kernel/kcsan/encoding.h.
+ Although larger number of watchpoints may not be usable due to
+ limited number of CPUs, a larger value helps to improve performance
+ due to reducing cache-line contention. The chosen default is a
+ conservative value; we should almost never observe "no_capacity"
+ events (see /sys/kernel/debug/kcsan).
+
+config KCSAN_UDELAY_TASK
+ int "Delay in microseconds (for tasks)"
+ default 80
+ help
+ For tasks, the microsecond delay after setting up a watchpoint.
+
+config KCSAN_UDELAY_INTERRUPT
+ int "Delay in microseconds (for interrupts)"
+ default 20
+ help
+ For interrupts, the microsecond delay after setting up a watchpoint.
+ Interrupts have tighter latency requirements, and their delay should
+ be lower than for tasks.
+
+config KCSAN_DELAY_RANDOMIZE
+ bool "Randomize above delays"
+ default y
+ help
+ If delays should be randomized, where the maximum is KCSAN_UDELAY_*.
+ If false, the chosen delays are always the KCSAN_UDELAY_* values
+ as defined above.
+
+config KCSAN_SKIP_WATCH
+ int "Skip instructions before setting up watchpoint"
+ default 4000
+ help
+ The number of per-CPU memory operations to skip, before another
+ watchpoint is set up, i.e. one in KCSAN_WATCH_SKIP per-CPU
+ memory operations are used to set up a watchpoint. A smaller value
+ results in more aggressive race detection, whereas a larger value
+ improves system performance at the cost of missing some races.
+
+config KCSAN_SKIP_WATCH_RANDOMIZE
+ bool "Randomize watchpoint instruction skip count"
+ default y
+ help
+ If instruction skip count should be randomized, where the maximum is
+ KCSAN_WATCH_SKIP. If false, the chosen value is always
+ KCSAN_WATCH_SKIP.
+
+config KCSAN_INTERRUPT_WATCHER
+ bool "Interruptible watchers" if !KCSAN_STRICT
+ default KCSAN_STRICT
+ help
+ If enabled, a task that set up a watchpoint may be interrupted while
+ delayed. This option will allow KCSAN to detect races between
+ interrupted tasks and other threads of execution on the same CPU.
+
+ Currently disabled by default, because not all safe per-CPU access
+ primitives and patterns may be accounted for, and therefore could
+ result in false positives.
+
+config KCSAN_REPORT_ONCE_IN_MS
+ int "Duration in milliseconds, in which any given race is only reported once"
+ default 3000
+ help
+ Any given race is only reported once in the defined time window.
+ Different races may still generate reports within a duration that is
+ smaller than the duration defined here. This allows rate limiting
+ reporting to avoid flooding the console with reports. Setting this
+ to 0 disables rate limiting.
+
+# The main purpose of the below options is to control reported data races, and
+# are not expected to be switched frequently by non-testers or at runtime.
+# The defaults are chosen to be conservative, and can miss certain bugs.
+
+config KCSAN_REPORT_RACE_UNKNOWN_ORIGIN
+ bool "Report races of unknown origin"
+ default y
+ help
+ If KCSAN should report races where only one access is known, and the
+ conflicting access is of unknown origin. This type of race is
+ reported if it was only possible to infer a race due to a data value
+ change while an access is being delayed on a watchpoint.
+
+config KCSAN_STRICT
+ bool "Strict data-race checking"
+ help
+ KCSAN will report data races with the strictest possible rules, which
+ closely aligns with the rules defined by the Linux-kernel memory
+ consistency model (LKMM).
+
+config KCSAN_WEAK_MEMORY
+ bool "Enable weak memory modeling to detect missing memory barriers"
+ default y
+ depends on KCSAN_STRICT
+ # We can either let objtool nop __tsan_func_{entry,exit}() and builtin
+ # atomics instrumentation in .noinstr.text, or use a compiler that can
+ # implement __no_kcsan to really remove all instrumentation.
+ depends on !ARCH_WANTS_NO_INSTR || HAVE_NOINSTR_HACK || \

+ select OBJTOOL if HAVE_NOINSTR_HACK
+ help
+ Enable support for modeling a subset of weak memory, which allows
+ detecting a subset of data races due to missing memory barriers.
+
+ Depends on KCSAN_STRICT, because the options strenghtening certain
+ plain accesses by default (depending on !KCSAN_STRICT) reduce the
+ ability to detect any data races invoving reordered accesses, in
+ particular reordered writes.
+
+ Weak memory modeling relies on additional instrumentation and may
+ affect performance.
+
+config KCSAN_REPORT_VALUE_CHANGE_ONLY
+ bool "Only report races where watcher observed a data value change"
+ default y
+ depends on !KCSAN_STRICT
+ help
+ If enabled and a conflicting write is observed via a watchpoint, but
+ the data value of the memory location was observed to remain
+ unchanged, do not report the data race.
+
+config KCSAN_ASSUME_PLAIN_WRITES_ATOMIC
+ bool "Assume that plain aligned writes up to word size are atomic"
+ default y
+ depends on !KCSAN_STRICT
+ help
+ Assume that plain aligned writes up to word size are atomic by
+ default, and also not subject to other unsafe compiler optimizations
+ resulting in data races. This will cause KCSAN to not report data
+ races due to conflicts where the only plain accesses are aligned
+ writes up to word size: conflicts between marked reads and plain
+ aligned writes up to word size will not be reported as data races;
+ notice that data races between two conflicting plain aligned writes
+ will also not be reported.
+
+config KCSAN_IGNORE_ATOMICS
+ bool "Do not instrument marked atomic accesses"
+ depends on !KCSAN_STRICT
+ help
+ Never instrument marked atomic accesses. This option can be used for
+ additional filtering. Conflicting marked atomic reads and plain
+ writes will never be reported as a data race, however, will cause
+ plain reads and marked writes to result in "unknown origin" reports.
+ If combined with CONFIG_KCSAN_REPORT_RACE_UNKNOWN_ORIGIN=n, data
+ races where at least one access is marked atomic will never be
+ reported.
+
+ Similar to KCSAN_ASSUME_PLAIN_WRITES_ATOMIC, but including unaligned
+ accesses, conflicting marked atomic reads and plain writes will not
+ be reported as data races; however, unlike that option, data races
+ due to two conflicting plain writes will be reported (aligned and
+ unaligned, if CONFIG_KCSAN_ASSUME_PLAIN_WRITES_ATOMIC=n).
+
+config KCSAN_PERMISSIVE
+ bool "Enable all additional permissive rules"
+ depends on KCSAN_REPORT_VALUE_CHANGE_ONLY
+ help
+ Enable additional permissive rules to ignore certain classes of data
+ races (also see kernel/kcsan/permissive.h). None of the permissive
+ rules imply that such data races are generally safe, but can be used
+ to further reduce reported data races due to data-racy patterns
+ common across the kernel.
