[PATCH v6 18/26] arm64: mte: Allow user control of the generated random tags via prctl()

Catalin Marinas catalin.marinas at arm.com
Fri Jul 3 11:37:10 EDT 2020


The IRG, ADDG and SUBG instructions insert a random tag in the resulting
address. Certain tags can be excluded via the GCR_EL1.Exclude bitmap
when, for example, the user wants a certain colour for freed buffers.
Since the GCR_EL1 register is not accessible at EL0, extend the
prctl(PR_SET_TAGGED_ADDR_CTRL) interface to include a 16-bit field in
the first argument for controlling which tags can be generated by the
above instruction (an include rather than exclude mask). Note that by
default all non-zero tags are excluded. This setting is per-thread.

Notes:
    v5:
    - Rename gcr_incl to gcr_user_incl (there will be a subsequent
      gcr_kernel when support for in-kernel MTE is added).
    
    v2:
    - Switch from an exclude mask to an include one for the prctl()
      interface.
    - Reset the allowed tags mask during flush_thread().
