debugfs is a virtual file system that kernel developers use to put

help
This enables emulation of the legacy vsyscall page. Disabling
it is roughly equivalent to booting with vsyscall=none, except
that it will also disable the helpful warning if a program
tries to use a vsyscall. 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.
Disabling this option saves about 7K of kernel size and
possibly 4K of additional runtime pagetable memory.

This option enables detection of directly indexed out of bounds array

config KERNEL_UBSAN_TRAP
bool "On Sanitizer warnings, abort the running kernel code"
depends on KERNEL_UBSAN
help
Building kernels with Sanitizer features enabled tends to grow the
kernel size by around 5%, due to adding all the debugging text on
failure paths. 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. For some system
builders this is an acceptable trade-off.

help
Enables kernel address sanitizer - runtime memory debugger,
designed to find out-of-bounds accesses and use-after-free bugs.
This is strictly a debugging feature and it requires a gcc version
of 4.9.2 or later. Detection of out of bounds accesses to stack or
global variables requires gcc 5.0 or later.
This feature consumes about 1/8 of available memory and brings about
~x3 performance slowdown.
For better error detection enable CONFIG_STACKTRACE.
Currently CONFIG_KASAN doesn't work with CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB
(the resulting kernel does not boot).

bool "Back mappings in vmalloc space with real shadow memory"

help
By default, the shadow region for vmalloc space is the read-only
zero page. 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.
This option depends on HAVE_ARCH_KASAN_VMALLOC, but we can't
depend on that in here, so it is possible that enabling this
will have no effect.

Compiler directly inserts code checking shadow memory before

20(40)bytes/PAGE_SIZE on 32(64)bit system will be occupied by memory
usage tracking struct at boot. Total amount of this is printed out
at boot.
Only enable when you're ok with these tradeoffs and really

this, you can set "cgroup_disable=memory" at your boot option to

help
POSIX variant of message queues is a part of IPC. 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.
