With this option set to N, offending programs will just segfault, citing addresses of the form 0xffffffffff600?00. This option is required by many programs built before 2013, and care should be used even with newer programs if set to N.

To avoid this, Sanitizer instrumentation can just issue a trap. This reduces the kernel size overhead but turns all warnings (including potentially harmless conditions) into full exceptions that abort the running kernel code (regardless of context, locks held, etc), which may destabilize the system.

This means that KASAN cannot detect errors involving vmalloc space. Enabling this option will hook in to vmap/vmalloc and back those mappings with real shadow memory allocated on demand. This allows for KASAN to detect more sorts of errors (and to support vmapped stacks), but at the cost of higher memory usage.

In POSIX message queues every message has a priority which decides about succession of receiving it by a process. If you want to compile and run programs written e.g. for Solaris with use of its POSIX message queues (functions mq_*) say Y here. POSIX message queues are visible as a filesystem called 'mqueue' and can be mounted somewhere if you want to do filesystem operations on message queues. config KERNEL_SECCOMP_FILTER bool default y if !SMALL_FLASH config KERNEL_SECCOMP bool "Enable seccomp support" depends on !(TARGET_uml) select KERNEL_SECCOMP_FILTER default y if !SMALL_FLASH help Build kernel with support for seccomp. # # IPv4 configuration # config KERNEL_IP_MROUTE bool "Enable IPv4 multicast routing" default y help Multicast routing requires a multicast routing daemon in addition to kernel support. if KERNEL_IP_MROUTE config KERNEL_IP_MROUTE_MULTIPLE_TABLES def_bool y config KERNEL_IP_PIMSM_V1 def_bool y config KERNEL_IP_PIMSM_V2 def_bool y endif # # IPv6 configuration # config KERNEL_IPV6 def_bool IPV6 if KERNEL_IPV6 config KERNEL_IPV6_MULTIPLE_TABLES def_bool y config KERNEL_IPV6_SUBTREES def_bool y config KERNEL_IPV6_MROUTE bool "Enable IPv6 multicast routing" default y help Multicast routing requires a multicast routing daemon in addition to kernel support. if KERNEL_IPV6_MROUTE config KERNEL_IPV6_MROUTE_MULTIPLE_TABLES def_bool y config KERNEL_IPV6_PIMSM_V2 def_bool y endif config KERNEL_IPV6_SEG6_LWTUNNEL bool "Enable support for lightweight tunnels" default y if !SMALL_FLASH help Using lwtunnel (needed for IPv6 segment routing) requires ip-full package. config KERNEL_LWTUNNEL_BPF def_bool n endif # # Miscellaneous network configuration # config KERNEL_NET_L3_MASTER_DEV bool "L3 Master device support" default y if !SMALL_FLASH help This module provides glue between core networking code and device drivers to support L3 master devices like VRF.
