Is there any way to stop randconfig picking up options like these? It is rather a waste of brain-cycles trying to fix them. If you want the option to test a specific bit of code it is easy to hack/disable any problematic parts. Even having the KASAN/KMSAN code compiled into allmodconfig is a PITA when you are trying to check that code compiles to something sensible. David
