[RFC PATCH 6/9] riscv: Add support for userspace pointer masking

Samuel Holland samuel.holland at sifive.com
Tue Mar 19 14:58:32 PDT 2024


RISC-V supports pointer masking with a variable number of tag bits
("PMLEN") and which is configured at the next higher privilege level.

Wire up the PR_SET_TAGGED_ADDR_CTRL and PR_GET_TAGGED_ADDR_CTRL prctls
so userspace can request a minimum number of tag bits and determine the
actual number of tag bits. As with PR_TAGGED_ADDR_ENABLE, the pointer
masking configuration is thread-scoped, inherited on clone() and fork()
and cleared on exec().
