kasan: update required compiler versions in documentation
Updates the recently changed compiler requirements for KASAN. In
particular, we require GCC >= 8.3.0, and add a note that Clang 11 supports
OOB detection of globals.
Fixes: 7b861a53e46b ("kasan: Bump required compiler version")
Fixes: acf7b0bf7dcf ("kasan: Fix required compiler version")

Generic KASAN is supported in both GCC and Clang. With GCC it requires version -4.9.2 or later for basic support and version 5.0 or later for detection of -out-of-bounds accesses for stack and global variables and for inline -instrumentation mode (see the Usage section). With Clang it requires version -7.0.0 or later and it doesn't support detection of out-of-bounds accesses for -global variables yet. +8.3.0 or later. With Clang it requires version 7.0.0 or later, but detection of +out-of-bounds accesses for global variables is only supported since Clang 11. Tag-based KASAN is only supported in Clang and requires version 7.0.0 or later. |
