+KASAN is affected by the generic ``panic_on_warn`` command line parameter.
+When it is enabled, KASAN panics the kernel after printing a bug report.

+With ``kasan_multi_shot``, KASAN prints a report on every invalid access. This
+effectively disables ``panic_on_warn`` for KASAN reports.
+
+Alternatively, independent of ``panic_on_warn``, the ``kasan.fault=`` boot
+parameter can be used to control panic and reporting behaviour:
+
+- ``kasan.fault=report`` or ``=panic`` controls whether to only print a KASAN

+  check fault occurs.
+  Asynchronous mode: a bad access detection is delayed. When a tag check
+  fault occurs, the information is stored in hardware (in the TFSR_EL1
+  register for arm64). The kernel periodically checks the hardware and
+  only reports tag faults during these checks.
+  Asymmetric mode: a bad access is detected synchronously on reads and
