Right now addresses are untagged in sparc code in only two spots but that will expand as we expand use of tags.

You are doing lot more with tags than sparc code intended to do. I had looked into implementing just malloc(), mmap() and possibly shmat() in library that automatically tags pointers. Expanding tags to any pointers in C library will require covering lot more paths in kernel. -- Khalid _______________________________________________ amd-gfx mailing list amd-gfx@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/amd-gfx
