[PATCH v3] arm64: mte: Move MTE TCF0 check in entry-common

Vincenzo Frascino vincenzo.frascino at arm.com
Fri Apr 9 14:24:19 BST 2021


The check_mte_async_tcf macro sets the TIF flag non-atomically. This can
race with another CPU doing a set_tsk_thread_flag() and all the other flags
can be lost in the process.

Move the tcf0 check to enter_from_user_mode() and clear tcf0 in
exit_to_user_mode() to address the problem.

Note: Moving the check in entry-common allows to use set_thread_flag()
which is safe.
