[PATCH v4 00/26] arm64: Memory Tagging Extension user-space support

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

 



This is the fourth version (third version here [1]) of the series adding
user-space support for the ARMv8.5 Memory Tagging Extension ([2], [3]).
The patches are also available on this branch:

  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm64/linux devel/mte-v4

Changes in this version:

- Swap and suspend to disk support for saving/restoring tags.

- Deferred the tag zeroing from clear_page() to set_pte_at() to cope
  with RAM filesystems that do not start from a zeroed page. The
  copy_page() function was also optimised to only copy tags if the page
  has been previously mapped as tagged (PROT_MTE). This mechanism
  requires a new PG_arch_2 flag.

- memcmp_pages() rewritten to always return a no-match if at least one
  of the pages is tagged (tag comparison avoided).

- ptrace() updated to prevent accessing tags in a page that has not been
  mapped with PROT_MTE (PG_arch_2 flag not set).

- copy_mount_options() fix re-implemented to avoid
  arch_has_exact_copy_from_user().

- The CPUID handling has been reworked to ensure that, when the feature
  is not backed by the DT, the HWCAP is also hidden from user. Note that
  the DT description is still under internal discussion on whether we
  need it or not.

- A new early param, arm64.mte_disable, was introduced to facilitate
  testing with and without MTE on platforms that support it.

- Asynchronous TCF SIGSEGV is no longer forced, so it can be ignored but
  the user thread.

- CONFIG_ARM64_MTE is now default y since swap is supported.

To do or discuss:

- prctl() accepting an include vs exclude mask for the GCR_EL1.Excl
  field. There is an ongoing discussion on v3 which accepts an include
  mask with 0 being a special case equivalent to 1. If this is not
  desirable, we can change this to an exclude mask.

- mmap(tagged_addr, PROT_MTE) pre-tagging the memory with the tag given
  in the tagged_addr hint.

- ptrace() to expose the prctl() configuration for the user thread (or
  the TCF and GCR_EL1.Excl fields).

- coredump (user) to also dump the tags.

- Kselftest patches will be made available.
