Therefore it supports boot parameters that allow to disable KASAN competely or otherwise control particular KASAN features. -The things that can be controlled are: +- ``kasan=off`` or ``=on`` controls whether KASAN is enabled (default: ``on``). -1. Whether KASAN is enabled at all. -2. Whether KASAN collects and saves alloc/free stacks. -3. Whether KASAN panics on a detected bug or not. +- ``kasan.stacktrace=off`` or ``=on`` disables or enables alloc and free stack + traces collection (default: ``on`` for ``CONFIG_DEBUG_KERNEL=y``, otherwise + ``off``). -The ``kasan.mode`` boot parameter allows to choose one of three main modes: - -- ``kasan.mode=off`` - KASAN is disabled, no tag checks are performed -- ``kasan.mode=prod`` - only essential production features are enabled -- ``kasan.mode=full`` - all KASAN features are enabled - -The chosen mode provides default control values for the features mentioned -above. However it's also possible to override the default values by providing: - -- ``kasan.stacktrace=off`` or ``=on`` - enable alloc/free stack collection - (default: ``on`` for ``mode=full``, - otherwise ``off``) -- ``kasan.fault=report`` or ``=panic`` - only print KASAN report or also panic - (default: ``report``) - -If ``kasan.mode`` parameter is not provided, it defaults to ``full`` when -``CONFIG_DEBUG_KERNEL`` is enabled, and to ``prod`` otherwise. +- ``kasan.fault=report`` or ``=panic`` controls whether to only print a KASAN + report or also panic the kernel (default: ``report``).
