+CONFIG_KASAN_EXTRA_INFO
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Enabling CONFIG_KASAN_EXTRA_INFO allows KASAN to record and report more
+information, the extra information currently supported is the CPU number and
+timestamp at allocation and free. More information can help find the cause of
+the bug and correlate the error with other system events, at the cost of using
+extra memory to record more information (more cost details in the help text of
+CONFIG_KASAN_EXTRA_INFO).
+
+Here is the report with CONFIG_KASAN_EXTRA_INFO enabled (only the
+different parts are shown)::
