[PATCH v3 04/23] arm64: mte: Use Normal Tagged attributes for the linear map

Catalin Marinas
2020-04-21T14:26:19Z

Once user space is given access to tagged memory, the kernel must be
able to clear/save/restore tags visible to the user. This is done via
the linear mapping, therefore map it as such. The new MT_NORMAL_TAGGED
index for MAIR_EL1 is initially mapped as Normal memory and later
changed to Normal Tagged via the cpufeature infrastructure. From a
mismatched attribute aliases perspective, the Tagged memory is
considered a permission and it won't lead to undefined behaviour.

The empty_zero_page is cleared to ensure that the tags it contains are
already zeroed. The actual tags-aware clear_page() implementation is
part of a subsequent patch.

Notes:
v3:
- Restrict the safe attribute change in pgattr_change_is_safe() only to
Normal to/from Normal-Tagged (old version allow any other type as long
as old or new was Normal(-Tagged)).
