Use after scope bugs detector seems to be almost entirely useless for the linux kernel. It exists over two years, but I've seen only one valid bug so far [1]. And the bug was fixed before it has been reported. There were some other use-after-scope reports, but they were false-positives due to different reasons like incompatibility with structleak plugin. This feature significantly increases stack usage, especially with GCC < 9 version, and causes a 32K stack overflow. It probably adds performance penalty too. Given all that, let's remove use-after-scope detector entirely. While preparing this patch I've noticed that we mistakenly enable use-after-scope detection for clang compiler regardless of CONFIG_KASAN_EXTRA setting. This is also fixed now.

KASAN has two modes: generic KASAN (similar to userspace ASan,
|
|
x86_64/arm64/xtensa, enabled with CONFIG_KASAN_GENERIC) and
|
|
software tag-based KASAN (a version based on software memory
|
|
tagging, arm64 only, similar to userspace HWASan, enabled with
|
|
CONFIG_KASAN_SW_TAGS).
|
|
Both generic and tag-based KASAN are strictly debugging features.

Enables generic KASAN mode.
|
|
Supported in both GCC and Clang. With GCC it requires version 4.9.2
|
|
or later for basic support and version 5.0 or later for detection of
|
|
out-of-bounds accesses for stack and global variables and for inline
|
|
instrumentation mode (CONFIG_KASAN_INLINE). With Clang it requires
|
|
version 3.7.0 or later and it doesn't support detection of
|
|
out-of-bounds accesses for global variables yet.
|
|
This mode consumes about 1/8th of available memory at kernel start
|
|
and introduces an overhead of ~x1.5 for the rest of the allocations.
|
|
The performance slowdown is ~x3.
|
|
For better error detection enable CONFIG_STACKTRACE.

Enables software tag-based KASAN mode.
|
|
This mode requires Top Byte Ignore support by the CPU and therefore
|
|
is only supported for arm64.
|
|
This mode requires Clang version 7.0.0 or later.
|
|
This mode consumes about 1/16th of available memory at kernel start
|
|
and introduces an overhead of ~20% for the rest of the allocations.
|
|
This mode may potentially introduce problems relating to pointer
|
|
casting and comparison, as it embeds tags into the top byte of each
|
|
pointer.
|
|
For better error detection enable CONFIG_STACKTRACE.
|
|
Currently CONFIG_KASAN_SW_TAGS doesn't work with CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB

Before every memory access compiler insert function call

__asan_load*/__asan_store*. These functions performs check

The LLVM stack address sanitizer has a know problem that
|
|
causes excessive stack usage in a lot of functions, see
|
|
https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=38809
|
|
Disabling asan-stack makes it safe to run kernels build
|
|
with clang-8 with KASAN enabled, though it loses some of
|
|
the functionality.
|
|
This feature is always disabled when compile-testing with clang-8
|
|
or earlier to avoid cluttering the output in stack overflow
|
|
warnings, but clang-8 users can still enable it for builds without
|
|
CONFIG_COMPILE_TEST. On gcc and later clang versions it is
|
|
assumed to always be safe to use and enabled by default.

Compiling the kernel with KASan disables automatic 3-level vs

4-level paging instead.
