[PATCH RFC 30/37] mm: mprotect: arm64: Set PAGE_METADATA_NONE for mprotect(PROT_MTE)

Alexandru Elisei
2023-08-23T13:18:06Z

To enable tagging on a memory range, userspace can use mprotect() with the
PROT_MTE access flag. Pages already mapped in the VMA obviously don't have
the associated tag storage block reserved, so mark the PTEs as
PAGE_METADATA_NONE to trigger a fault next time they are accessed, and
reserve the tag storage as part of the fault handling. If the tag storage
for the page cannot be reserved, then migrate the page, because
alloc_migration_target() will do the right thing and allocate a destination
page with the tag storage reserved.

If the mapped page is a metadata storage page, which cannot have metadata
associated with it, the page is unconditionally migrated.

This has several benefits over reserving the tag storage as part of the
mprotect() call handling:

- Tag storage is reserved only for pages that are accessed.
- Reduces the latency of the mprotect() call.
- Eliminates races with page migration.

But all of this is at the expense of an extra page fault until the pages
being accessed all have their corresponding tag storage reserved.

This is only implemented for PTE mappings; PMD mappings will follow.
