Hi, This patchset makes use of Upper Address Ignore (UAI) feature available on upcoming AMD processors to provide user address tagging support for x86/AMD. UAI allows software to store a tag in the upper 7 bits of a logical address [63:57]. When enabled, the processor will suppress the traditional canonical address checks on the addresses. More information about UAI can be found in section 5.10 of 'AMD64 Architecture Programmer's Manual, Vol 2: System Programming' which is available from https://bugzilla.kernel.org/attachment.cgi?id=300549 Currently ARM64 provides a way for processes to opt-in for relaxed tagged ABI via prctl() options PR_SET/GET_TAGGED_ADDR_CTRL. The prctl() API was found to be a bit restrictive for x86 use and Kirill had posted an extension to it as part of Intel LAM patchset. (https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20210205151631.43511-1-kirill.shutemov@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/) This patchset builds on that prctl() extension and adds support for AMD UAI. AMD implementation is kept separate as equivalent Intel LAM implementation is likely to be different due to different bit positions and tag width. This is an early implementation which has been only lightly tested. I have used the tags_test.c from selftests/vm/tags/ to test this. For ARM64 changes, I have only ensured that the changes compile.
