From 63f0c60379650d82250f22e4cf4137ef3dc4f43d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Catalin Marinas Date: Tue, 23 Jul 2019 19:58:39 +0200 Subject: arm64: Introduce prctl() options to control the tagged user addresses ABI It is not desirable to relax the ABI to allow tagged user addresses into the kernel indiscriminately. This patch introduces a prctl() interface for enabling or disabling the tagged ABI with a global sysctl control for preventing applications from enabling the relaxed ABI (meant for testing user-space prctl() return error checking without reconfiguring the kernel). The ABI properties are inherited by threads of the same application and fork()'ed children but cleared on execve(). A Kconfig option allows the overall disabling of the relaxed ABI. The PR_SET_TAGGED_ADDR_CTRL will be expanded in the future to handle MTE-specific settings like imprecise vs precise exceptions.
