| 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 |
| If enabled, reports show more information about the system state that |

| 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 |

| |
| Each test case may run at least up to KCSAN_REPORT_ONCE_IN_MS |

| 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" |

| If enabled, a task that set up a watchpoint may be interrupted while |

| Any given race is only reported once in the defined time window. |

| default y |
| 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" |
| 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). |
