Bug#1082296: linux [amd64]: Enable CONFIG_ADDRESS_MASKING
Source: linux

Dear Maintainer,
Please enable the support for Linear Address Masking
(CONFIG_ADDRESS_MASKING).
Linear Address Masking (LAM) modifies the checking that is applied
to 64-bit linear addresses, allowing software to use of the
untranslated address bits for metadata.
The capability can be used for efficient address sanitizers (ASAN)
implementation and for optimizations in JITs.
A MR was created with this proposal at:

Thanks,
Jair Gonzalez
