[PATCH] arm64: add prctl(PR_PAC_SET_ENABLED_KEYS)

Peter Collingbourne pcc at google.com
Fri Jul 31 21:11:52 EDT 2020


This prctl allows the user program to control which PAC keys are enabled
in a particular task. The main reason why this is useful is to enable a
userspace ABI that uses PAC to sign and authenticate function pointers
and other pointers exposed outside of the function, while still allowing
binaries conforming to the ABI to interoperate with legacy binaries that
do not sign or authenticate pointers.

The idea is that a dynamic loader or early startup code would issue
this prctl very early after establishing that a process may load legacy
binaries, but before executing any PAC instructions.

+Enabling and disabling keys
+---------------------------
+
+The prctl PR_PAC_SET_ENABLED_KEYS allows the user program to control which
+PAC keys are enabled in a particular task. It takes two arguments, the
+first being a bitmask of PR_PAC_APIAKEY, PR_PAC_APIBKEY, PR_PAC_APDAKEY
+and PR_PAC_APDBKEY specifying which keys shall be affected by this prctl,
+and the second being a bitmask of the same bits specifying whether the key
+should be enabled or disabled. For example::
+
+  prctl(PR_PAC_SET_ENABLED_KEYS,
+        PR_PAC_APIAKEY | PR_PAC_APIBKEY | PR_PAC_APDAKEY | PR_PAC_APDBKEY,
+        PR_PAC_APIBKEY, 0, 0);
+
+disables all keys except the IB key.
+
+The main reason why this is useful is to enable a userspace ABI that uses PAC
+instructions to sign and authenticate function pointers and other pointers
+exposed outside of the function, while still allowing binaries conforming to
+the ABI to interoperate with legacy binaries that do not sign or authenticate
+pointers.
+
+The idea is that a dynamic loader or early startup code would issue this
+prctl very early after establishing that a process may load legacy binaries,
+but before executing any PAC instructions.
