The other functions do a lot more than clearing a TIF flag, so they deserved their own place. We could do this when adding MTE support. I think we also need to check what other TIF flags we may inadvertently pass on execve(), maybe have a mask clearing. > > diff --git a/include/uapi/linux/prctl.h b/include/uapi/linux/prctl.h > > index 094bb03b9cc2..2e927b3e9d6c 100644 > > --- a/include/uapi/linux/prctl.h > > +++ b/include/uapi/linux/prctl.h > > @@ -229,4 +229,9 @@ struct prctl_mm_map { > > # define PR_PAC_APDBKEY (1UL << 3) > > # define PR_PAC_APGAKEY (1UL << 4) > > > > +/* Tagged user address controls for arm64 */ > > +#define PR_SET_TAGGED_ADDR_CTRL 55 > > +#define PR_GET_TAGGED_ADDR_CTRL 56 > > +# define PR_TAGGED_ADDR_ENABLE (1UL << 0) > > + > > #endif /* _LINUX_PRCTL_H */ > > diff --git a/kernel/sys.c b/kernel/sys.c > > index 2969304c29fe..ec48396b4943 100644 > > --- a/kernel/sys.c > > +++ b/kernel/sys.c > > @@ -124,6 +124,12 @@ > > #ifndef PAC_RESET_KEYS > > # define PAC_RESET_KEYS(a, b) (-EINVAL) > > #endif > > +#ifndef SET_TAGGED_ADDR_CTRL > > +# define SET_TAGGED_ADDR_CTRL(a) (-EINVAL) > > +#endif > > +#ifndef GET_TAGGED_ADDR_CTRL > > +# define GET_TAGGED_ADDR_CTRL() (-EINVAL) > > +#endif > > > > /* > > * this is where the system-wide overflow UID and GID are defined, for > > @@ -2492,6 +2498,16 @@ SYSCALL_DEFINE5(prctl, int, option, unsigned long, arg2, unsigned long, arg3, > > return -EINVAL; > > error = PAC_RESET_KEYS(me, arg2); > > break; > > + case PR_SET_TAGGED_ADDR_CTRL: > > + if (arg3 || arg4 || arg5) > > + return -EINVAL; > > + error = SET_TAGGED_ADDR_CTRL(arg2); > > + break; > > + case PR_GET_TAGGED_ADDR_CTRL: > > + if (arg2 || arg3 || arg4 || arg5) > > + return -EINVAL; > > + error = GET_TAGGED_ADDR_CTRL(); > > + break; > > Why do we need two prctl here? We could have only one and use arg2 as set/get > and arg3 as a parameter. What do you think? This follows the other PR_* options, e.g. PR_SET_VL/GET_VL, PR_*_FP_MODE. We will use other bits in arg2, for example to set the precise vs imprecise MTE trapping. -- Catalin
