[PATCH v2 3/4] arm64: Add support for user sub-page fault probing

Wed Dec 1 11:37:49 PST 2021


With MTE, even if the pte allows an access, a mismatched tag somewhere
within a page can still cause a fault. Select ARCH_HAS_SUBPAGE_FAULTS if
MTE is enabled and implement the probe_subpage_*() functions. Note that
get_user() is sufficient for the writeable checks since the same tag
mismatch fault would be triggered by a read.
