[PATCH v3 2/3] arm64: Add support for user sub-page fault probing

Wed Apr 6 11:09:21 PDT 2022


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_writeable() function.
Note that get_user() is sufficient for the writeable MTE check since the
same tag mismatch fault would be triggered by a read. The caller of
probe_subpage_writeable() will need to check the pte permissions
(put_user, GUP).
