The documentation shows a need for gcc > 4.9.2, but it's really >=. The Kconfig entries don't show require versions so add them. Correct a latter/later typo too. Also mention that gcc 5 required to catch out of bounds accesses to global and stack variables.

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,
|
|
and add slub_debug=U to boot cmdline.

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.

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.

This is a test module doing various nasty things like

out of bounds accesses, use after free. It is useful for testing

kernel debugging features like kernel address sanitizer.
