Before this patch, someone who wants to use VMAP_STACK when KASAN_GENERIC enabled must explicitly select KASAN_VMALLOC. >From Will's suggestion [1]: > I would _really_ like to move to VMAP stack unconditionally, and > that would effectively force KASAN_VMALLOC to be set if KASAN is in use Because VMAP_STACK now depends on either HW_TAGS or KASAN_VMALLOC if KASAN enabled, in order to make VMAP_STACK selected unconditionally, we bind KANSAN_GENERIC and KASAN_VMALLOC together. Note that SW_TAGS supports neither VMAP_STACK nor KASAN_VMALLOC now, so this is the first step to make VMAP_STACK selected unconditionally. Bind KANSAN_GENERIC and KASAN_VMALLOC together is supposed to cost more memory at runtime, thus the alternative is using SW_TAGS KASAN instead.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
