[PATCH] KVM: arm64: Compute TPIDR_EL2 ignoring MTE tag

[Steven Price]

KASAN in HW_TAGS mode will store MTE tags in the top byte of the
pointer. When computing the offset for TPIDR_EL2 we don't want anything
in the top byte, so remove the tag to ensure the computation is correct
no matter what the tag.

Without this fix I can't boot a config with KASAN_HW_TAGS and KVM on an
MTE enabled host. I'm unsure if this should really be in
this_cpu_ptr_nvhe_sym().

this_cpu_ptr_nvhe_sym() should return something that is valid for
the EL1 kernel, so I guess untagging in the helper may not be
that useful.

However, I'm more concerned by anything at requires us to follow
pointers set up by EL1 at EL2. It looks to me that the only reason
the whole thing works is because kern_hyp_va() *accidentally* drops
tags before applying the EL1/EL2 offset...

Or am I getting it wrong?

Thanks,

         M.

Makes sense and was my suspicion.

In the case I'm fixing this is intended to be an offset calculation - 
it's just messed up by the presence of an MTE tag in one of the pointers.

I agree I was somewhat surprised when everything 'just worked' with this 
one change - and I think you're right it's because kern_hyp_va() 'just 
happens' to lose the tags. Of course there may be other bugs lurking - 
running MTE+KASAN on the model is slow so I didn't do much beyond boot it.

One of the 'fun' things about MTE is that you can no longer do pointer 
subtraction to calculate the offset unless the pointers are actually 
from the same allocation (and therefore have the same tag). I'm sure the 
C language experts would point out that's "always been the case" but it 
will probably break things elsewhere too.
