[PATCH v5 04/10] riscv: Add support for userspace pointer masking

Wed Oct 16 13:27:45 PDT 2024


RISC-V supports pointer masking with a variable number of tag bits
(which is called "PMLEN" in the specification) 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 lower bound on the number of tag bits and
determine the actual number of tag bits. As with arm64's
PR_TAGGED_ADDR_ENABLE, the pointer masking configuration is
thread-scoped, inherited on clone() and fork() and cleared on execve().

Changes in v5:
 - Document how PR_[SG]ET_TAGGED_ADDR_CTRL are used on RISC-V

Changes in v4:
 - Switch IS_ENABLED back to #ifdef to fix riscv32 build

Changes in v3:
 - Rename CONFIG_RISCV_ISA_POINTER_MASKING to CONFIG_RISCV_ISA_SUPM,
   since it only controls the userspace part of pointer masking
 - Use IS_ENABLED instead of #ifdef when possible
 - Use an enum for the supported PMLEN values
 - Simplify the logic in set_tagged_addr_ctrl()

Changes in v2:
 - Rebase on riscv/linux.git for-next
 - Add and use the envcfg_update_bits() helper function
 - Inline flush_tagged_addr_state()

 Misaligned scalar accesses are supported in userspace, but they may perform
 poorly.  Misaligned vector accesses are only supported if the Zicclsm extension
 is supported.

+Pointer masking
+---------------
+
+Support for pointer masking in userspace (the Supm extension) is provided via
+the ``PR_SET_TAGGED_ADDR_CTRL`` and ``PR_GET_TAGGED_ADDR_CTRL`` ``prctl()``
+operations. Pointer masking is disabled by default. To enable it, userspace
+must call ``PR_SET_TAGGED_ADDR_CTRL`` with the ``PR_PMLEN`` field set to the
+number of mask/tag bits needed by the application. ``PR_PMLEN`` is interpreted
+as a lower bound; if the kernel is unable to satisfy the request, the
+``PR_SET_TAGGED_ADDR_CTRL`` operation will fail. The actual number of tag bits
+is returned in ``PR_PMLEN`` by the ``PR_GET_TAGGED_ADDR_CTRL`` operation.
