[PATCH v8 3/5] arm64: Change the tagged_addr sysctl control semantics to only prevent the opt-in

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



First rename the sysctl control to abi.tagged_addr_disabled and make it
default off (zero). When abi.tagged_addr_disabled == 1, only block the
enabling of the TBI ABI via prctl(PR_SET_TAGGED_ADDR_CTRL, PR_TAGGED_ADDR_ENABLE).
Getting the status of the ABI or disabling it is still allowed.
