KASAN mode
└─>Generic mode
In linux kernel since version 4.14.326 (release Date: 2023-09-23)  
Enables generic KASAN mode.

This mode is supported in both GCC and Clang. With GCC it requires
version 8.3.0 or later. With Clang it requires version 7.0.0 or
later, but detection of out-of-bounds accesses for global variables
is supported only since Clang 11.

This mode consumes about 1/8th of available memory at kernel start
and introduces an overhead of ~x1.5 for the rest of the allocations.
The performance slowdown is ~x3.

For better error detection enable CONFIG_STACKTRACE.

Currently CONFIG_KASAN_GENERIC doesn't work with CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB
(the resulting kernel does not boot).
