+# `x86_64-unknown-linux-gnuasan`
+
+**Tier: 3**
+
+Target mirroring `x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu` with AddressSanitizer enabled by
+default.
+The goal of this target is to allow shipping ASAN-instrumented standard
+libraries through rustup, enabling a fully instrumented binary without requiring
+nightly features (build-std).
+Once build-std stabilizes, we will likely no longer need this target.
+
+## Target maintainers
+
+- [@jakos-sec](https://github.com/jakos-sec)
+- [@1c3t3a](https://github.com/1c3t3a)
+- [@rust-lang/project-exploit-mitigations][project-exploit-mitigations]
+
+## Requirements
+
+The target is for cross-compilation only. Host tools are not supported, since
+there is no need to have the host tools instrumented with ASAN. std is fully
+supported.
+
+In all other aspects the target is equivalent to `x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu`.
+
+## Building the target
+
+The target can be built by enabling it for a rustc build:
+
+```toml
+[build]
+target = ["x86_64-unknown-linux-gnuasan"]
+```
+
+## Building Rust programs
+
+Rust does not yet ship pre-compiled artifacts for this target. To compile for
+this target, you will either need to build Rust with the target enabled (see
+"Building the target" above), or build your own copy of `core` by using
+`build-std` or similar.
+
+Compilation can be done with:
+
+```text
+rustc --target x86_64-unknown-linux-gnuasan your-code.rs
+```
+
+## Testing
+
+Created binaries will run on Linux without any external requirements.
+
+## Cross-compilation toolchains and C code
+
+The target supports C code and should use the same toolchain target as
+`x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu`.
