config KERNEL_BUILD_USER

by 'uname -a' on running systems.
If not set, uses system user at build time.
config KERNEL_BUILD_DOMAIN

help
debugfs is a virtual file system that kernel developers use to put
debugging files into. Enable this option to be able to read and
write to these files. Many common debugging facilities, such as
ftrace, require the existence of debugfs.
# remove KERNEL_MIPS_FPU_EMULATOR after kernel 4.14 and 4.14 are gone

config KERNEL_X86_VSYSCALL_EMULATION
bool "Enable vsyscall emulation"
default n
depends on x86_64
help
This enables emulation of the legacy vsyscall page. Disabling
it is roughly equivalent to booting with vsyscall=none, except
that it will also disable the helpful warning if a program
tries to use a vsyscall. With this option set to N, offending
programs will just segfault, citing addresses of the form
0xffffffffff600?00.
This option is required by many programs built before 2013, and
care should be used even with newer programs if set to N.
Disabling this option saves about 7K of kernel size and
possibly 4K of additional runtime pagetable memory.
config KERNEL_PERF_EVENTS

help
Enable the extended profiling support mechanisms used by profilers such
as OProfile.
config KERNEL_UBSAN
bool "Compile the kernel with undefined behaviour sanity checker"
help
This option enables undefined behaviour sanity checker
Compile-time instrumentation is used to detect various undefined
behaviours in runtime. Various types of checks may be enabled
via boot parameter ubsan_handle
(see: Documentation/dev-tools/ubsan.rst).
config KERNEL_UBSAN_SANITIZE_ALL
bool "Enable instrumentation for the entire kernel"
depends on KERNEL_UBSAN
default y
help
This option activates instrumentation for the entire kernel.
If you don't enable this option, you have to explicitly specify
UBSAN_SANITIZE := y for the files/directories you want to check for UB.
Enabling this option will get kernel image size increased
significantly.
config KERNEL_UBSAN_ALIGNMENT
bool "Enable checking of pointers alignment"
depends on KERNEL_UBSAN
help
This option enables detection of unaligned memory accesses.
Enabling this option on architectures that support unaligned
accesses may produce a lot of false positives.
config KERNEL_UBSAN_NULL
bool "Enable checking of null pointers"
depends on KERNEL_UBSAN
help
This option enables detection of memory accesses via a
null pointer.
config KERNEL_KASAN
bool "Compile the kernel with KASan: runtime memory debugger"
select KERNEL_SLUB_DEBUG
depends on (x86_64 || aarch64)
help
Enables kernel address sanitizer - runtime memory debugger,
designed to find out-of-bounds accesses and use-after-free bugs.
This is strictly a debugging feature and it requires a gcc version
of 4.9.2 or later. Detection of out of bounds accesses to stack or
global variables requires gcc 5.0 or later.
This feature consumes about 1/8 of available memory and brings about
~x3 performance slowdown.
For better error detection enable CONFIG_STACKTRACE.
Currently CONFIG_KASAN doesn't work with CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB
(the resulting kernel does not boot).
config KERNEL_KASAN_EXTRA
bool "KAsan: extra checks"
depends on KERNEL_KASAN && KERNEL_DEBUG_KERNEL
help
This enables further checks in the kernel address sanitizer, for now
it only includes the address-use-after-scope check that can lead
to excessive kernel stack usage, frame size warnings and longer
compile time.

default KERNEL_KASAN_OUTLINE
config KERNEL_KASAN_OUTLINE
bool "Outline instrumentation"
help
Before every memory access compiler insert function call
__asan_load*/__asan_store*. These functions performs check
of shadow memory. This is slower than inline instrumentation,
however it doesn't bloat size of kernel's .text section so
much as inline does.
config KERNEL_KASAN_INLINE
bool "Inline instrumentation"
help
Compiler directly inserts code checking shadow memory before
memory accesses. This is faster than outline (in some workloads
it gives about x2 boost over outline instrumentation), but
make kernel's .text size much bigger.
This requires a gcc version of 5.0 or later.

config KERNEL_KCOV
bool "Compile the kernel with code coverage for fuzzing"
select KERNEL_DEBUG_FS
help
KCOV exposes kernel code coverage information in a form suitable
for coverage-guided fuzzing (randomized testing).
If RANDOMIZE_BASE is enabled, PC values will not be stable across
different machines and across reboots. If you need stable PC values,
disable RANDOMIZE_BASE.
For more details, see Documentation/kcov.txt.
config KERNEL_KCOV_ENABLE_COMPARISONS
bool "Enable comparison operands collection by KCOV"
depends on KERNEL_KCOV
help
KCOV also exposes operands of every comparison in the instrumented
code along with operand sizes and PCs of the comparison instructions.
These operands can be used by fuzzing engines to improve the quality
of fuzzing coverage.
config KERNEL_KCOV_INSTRUMENT_ALL
bool "Instrument all code by default"
depends on KERNEL_KCOV
default y if KERNEL_KCOV
help
If you are doing generic system call fuzzing (like e.g. syzkaller),
then you will want to instrument the whole kernel and you should
say y here. If you are doing more targeted fuzzing (like e.g.
filesystem fuzzing with AFL) then you will want to enable coverage
for more specific subsets of files, and should say n here.
config KERNEL_TASKSTATS

help
Say Y here to enable the kernel to act as a watchdog to detect
hard and soft lockups.
Softlockups are bugs that cause the kernel to loop in kernel
mode for more than 20 seconds, without giving other tasks a
chance to run. The current stack trace is displayed upon
detection and the system will stay locked up.
Hardlockups are bugs that cause the CPU to loop in kernel mode
for more than 10 seconds, without letting other interrupts have a
chance to run. The current stack trace is displayed upon detection
and the system will stay locked up.
The overhead should be minimal. A periodic hrtimer runs to
generate interrupts and kick the watchdog task every 4 seconds.
An NMI is generated every 10 seconds or so to check for hardlockups.
The frequency of hrtimer and NMI events and the soft and hard lockup
thresholds can be controlled through the sysctl watchdog_thresh.

Provides a memory resource controller that manages both anonymous

Note that setting this option increases fixed memory overhead
associated with each page of memory in the system. By this,
20(40)bytes/PAGE_SIZE on 32(64)bit system will be occupied by memory
usage tracking struct at boot. Total amount of this is printed out
at boot.
Only enable when you're ok with these tradeoffs and really
sure you need the memory resource controller. Even when you enable
this, you can set "cgroup_disable=memory" at your boot option to
disable memory resource controller and you can avoid overheads
(but lose benefits of memory resource controller).
This config option also selects MM_OWNER config option, which
could in turn add some fork/exit overhead.

Add swap management feature to memory resource controller. When you

when you disable this, memory resource controller has no cares to
usage of swap...a process can exhaust all of the swap. This extension
is useful when you want to avoid exhaustion swap but this itself
adds more overheads and consumes memory for remembering information.
Especially if you use 32bit system or small memory system, please
be careful about enabling this. When memory resource controller
is disabled by boot option, this will be automatically disabled and
there will be no overhead from this. Even when you set this config=y,
if boot option "swapaccount=0" is set, swap will not be accounted.
Now, memory usage of swap_cgroup is 2 bytes per entry. If swap page
size is 4096bytes, 512k per 1Gbytes of swap.
