- 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).
+ KASAN has three modes:
+ 1. generic KASAN (similar to userspace ASan,
+ x86_64/arm64/xtensa, enabled with CONFIG_KASAN_GENERIC),
+ 2. software tag-based KASAN (arm64 only, based on software
+ memory tagging (similar to userspace HWASan), enabled with
+ CONFIG_KASAN_SW_TAGS), and
+ 3. hardware tag-based KASAN (arm64 only, based on hardware
+ memory tagging, enabled with CONFIG_KASAN_HW_TAGS).
+
+ All KASAN modes are strictly debugging features.
