From: Andrey Konovalov <andreyknvl@xxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: mm: untag user pointers in mm/gup.c
This patch is a part of a series that extends kernel ABI to allow to pass
tagged user pointers (with the top byte set to something else other than
0x00) as syscall arguments.
mm/gup.c provides a kernel interface that accepts user addresses and
manipulates user pages directly (for example get_user_pages, that is used
by the futex syscall). Since a user can provided tagged addresses, we
need to handle this case.
Add untagging to gup.c functions that use user addresses for vma lookups.
