	  KernelMemorySanitizer (KMSAN) is a dynamic detector of uses of
	  uninitialized values in the kernel. It is based on compiler
	  instrumentation provided by Clang and thus requires Clang to build.

	  An important note is that KMSAN is not intended for production use,
	  because it drastically increases kernel memory footprint and slows
	  the whole system down.

	  See <file:Documentation/dev-tools/kmsan.rst> for more details.

	help
	  If the compiler supports -fsanitize-memory-param-retval, KMSAN will
	  eagerly check every function parameter passed by value and every
	  function return value.

	  Disabling KMSAN_CHECK_PARAM_RETVAL will result in tracking shadow for
	  function parameters and return values across function borders. This
	  is a more relaxed mode, but it generates more instrumentation code and
	  may potentially report errors in corner cases when non-instrumented
	  functions call instrumented ones.

	  Say Y here if you want the test to be built into the kernel and run
	  during boot; say M if you want the test to build as a module; say N
	  if you are unsure.
