11 KFENCE is a low-overhead sampling-based detector of heap out-of-bounds
12 access, use-after-free, and invalid-free errors. KFENCE is designed
13 to have negligible cost to permit enabling it in production
14 environments.

18 Note that, KFENCE is not a substitute for explicit testing with tools
19 such as KASAN. KFENCE can detect a subset of bugs that KASAN can
20 detect, albeit at very different performance profiles. If you can
21 afford to use KASAN, continue using KASAN, for example in test
22 environments. If your kernel targets production use, and cannot
23 enable KASAN due to its cost, consider using KFENCE.

31 help
32 Use static keys (static branches) to set up KFENCE allocations. Using
33 static keys is normally recommended, because it avoids a dynamic
34 branch in the allocator's fast path. However, with very low sample
35 intervals, or on systems that do not support jump labels, a dynamic
36 branch may still be an acceptable performance trade-off.

42 The KFENCE sample interval determines the frequency with which heap
43 allocations will be guarded by KFENCE. May be overridden via boot
44 parameter "kfence.sample_interval".
45
46 Set this to 0 to disable KFENCE by default, in which case only
47 setting "kfence.sample_interval" to a non-zero value enables KFENCE.

54 The number of guarded objects available. For each KFENCE object, 2
55 pages are required; with one containing the object and two adjacent
56 ones used as guard pages.

62 The inverse probability with which to randomly protect KFENCE object
63 pages, resulting in spurious use-after-frees. The main purpose of
64 this option is to stress test KFENCE with concurrent error reports
65 and allocations/frees. A value of 0 disables stress testing logic.

67 Only for KFENCE testing; set to 0 if you are not a KFENCE developer.

79 during boot; say M if you want the test to build as a module; say N
80 if you are unsure.
