=== Overview

arm64 has a feature called Top Byte Ignore, which allows to embed pointer
tags into the top byte of each pointer. Userspace programs (such as
HWASan, a memory debugging tool [1]) might use this feature and pass
tagged user pointers to the kernel through syscalls or other interfaces.

Right now the kernel is already able to handle user faults with tagged
pointers, due to these patches:

1. 81cddd65 ("arm64: traps: fix userspace cache maintenance emulation on a
             tagged pointer")
2. 7dcd9dd8 ("arm64: hw_breakpoint: fix watchpoint matching for tagged
	      pointers")
3. 276e9327 ("arm64: entry: improve data abort handling of tagged
	      pointers")

This patchset extends tagged pointer support to syscall arguments.

As per the proposed ABI change [3], tagged pointers are only allowed to be
passed to syscalls when they point to memory ranges obtained by anonymous
mmap() or sbrk() (see the patchset [3] for more details).

For non-memory syscalls this is done by untaging user pointers when the
kernel performs pointer checking to find out whether the pointer comes
from userspace (most notably in access_ok). The untagging is done only
when the pointer is being checked, the tag is preserved as the pointer
makes its way through the kernel and stays tagged when the kernel
dereferences the pointer when perfoming user memory accesses.

The mmap and mremap (only new_addr) syscalls do not currently accept
tagged addresses. Architectures may interpret the tag as a background
colour for the corresponding vma.

Other memory syscalls (mprotect, etc.) don't do user memory accesses but
rather deal with memory ranges, and untagged pointers are better suited to
describe memory ranges internally. Thus for memory syscalls we untag
pointers completely when they enter the kernel.

=== Other approaches

One of the alternative approaches to untagging that was considered is to
completely strip the pointer tag as the pointer enters the kernel with
some kind of a syscall wrapper, but that won't work with the countless
number of different ioctl calls. With this approach we would need a custom
wrapper for each ioctl variation, which doesn't seem practical.

An alternative approach to untagging pointers in memory syscalls prologues
is to inspead allow tagged pointers to be passed to find_vma() (and other
vma related functions) and untag them there. Unfortunately, a lot of
find_vma() callers then compare or subtract the returned vma start and end
fields against the pointer that was being searched. Thus this approach
would still require changing all find_vma() callers.

=== Testing

The following testing approaches has been taken to find potential issues
with user pointer untagging:

1. Static testing (with sparse [2] and separately with a custom static
   analyzer based on Clang) to track casts of __user pointers to integer
   types to find places where untagging needs to be done.

2. Static testing with grep to find parts of the kernel that call
   find_vma() (and other similar functions) or directly compare against
   vm_start/vm_end fields of vma.

3. Static testing with grep to find parts of the kernel that compare
   user pointers with TASK_SIZE or other similar consts and macros.

4. Dynamic testing: adding BUG_ON(has_tag(addr)) to find_vma() and running
   a modified syzkaller version that passes tagged pointers to the kernel.

Based on the results of the testing the requried patches have been added
to the patchset.

=== Notes

This patchset is meant to be merged together with "arm64 relaxed ABI" [3].

This patchset is a prerequisite for ARM's memory tagging hardware feature
support [4].

This patchset has been merged into the Pixel 2 & 3 kernel trees and is
now being used to enable testing of Pixel phones with HWASan.

Thanks!

=== History

Changes in v19:
- Rebased onto 7b5cf701 (5.3-rc1+).

Changes in v18:
- Reverted the selftest back to not using the LD_PRELOAD approach.
- Added prctl(PR_SET_TAGGED_ADDR_CTRL) call to the selftest.
- Reworded the patch descriptions to make them less oriented on arm64
  only.
- Catalin's patch: "I added a Kconfig option and dropped the prctl args
  zero check. There is some minor clean-up as well".

Changes in v17:
- The "uaccess: add noop untagged_addr definition" patch is dropped, as it
  was merged into upstream named as "uaccess: add noop untagged_addr
  definition".
- Merged "mm, arm64: untag user pointers in do_pages_move" into
  "mm, arm64: untag user pointers passed to memory syscalls".
- Added "arm64: Introduce prctl() options to control the tagged user
  addresses ABI" patch from Catalin.
- Add tags_lib.so to tools/testing/selftests/arm64/.gitignore.
- Added a comment clarifying untagged in mremap.
- Moved untagging back into mlx4_get_umem_mr() for the IB patch.

Changes in v16:
- Moved untagging for memory syscalls from arm64 wrappers back to generic
  code.
- Dropped untagging for the following memory syscalls: brk, mmap, munmap;
  mremap (only dropped for new_address); mmap_pgoff (not used on arm64);
  remap_file_pages (deprecated); shmat, shmdt (work on shared memory).
- Changed kselftest to LD_PRELOAD a shared library that overrides malloc
  to return tagged pointers.
- Rebased onto 5.2-rc3.

Changes in v15:
- Removed unnecessary untagging from radeon_ttm_tt_set_userptr().
- Removed unnecessary untagging from amdgpu_ttm_tt_set_userptr().
- Moved untagging to validate_range() in userfaultfd code.
- Moved untagging to ib_uverbs_(re)reg_mr() from mlx4_get_umem_mr().
- Rebased onto 5.1.

Changes in v14:
- Moved untagging for most memory syscalls to an arm64 specific
  implementation, instead of doing that in the common code.
- Dropped "net, arm64: untag user pointers in tcp_zerocopy_receive", since
  the provided user pointers don't come from an anonymous map and thus are
  not covered by this ABI relaxation.
- Dropped "kernel, arm64: untag user pointers in prctl_set_mm*".
- Moved untagging from __check_mem_type() to tee_shm_register().
- Updated untagging for the amdgpu and radeon drivers to cover the MMU
  notifier, as suggested by Felix.
- Since this ABI relaxation doesn't actually allow tagged instruction
  pointers, dropped the following patches:
- Dropped "tracing, arm64: untag user pointers in seq_print_user_ip".
- Dropped "uprobes, arm64: untag user pointers in find_active_uprobe".
- Dropped "bpf, arm64: untag user pointers in stack_map_get_build_id_offset".
- Rebased onto 5.1-rc7 (37624b58).

Changes in v13:
- Simplified untagging in tcp_zerocopy_receive().
- Looked at find_vma() callers in drivers/, which allowed to identify a
  few other places where untagging is needed.
- Added patch "mm, arm64: untag user pointers in get_vaddr_frames".
- Added patch "drm/amdgpu, arm64: untag user pointers in
  amdgpu_ttm_tt_get_user_pages".
- Added patch "drm/radeon, arm64: untag user pointers in
  radeon_ttm_tt_pin_userptr".
- Added patch "IB/mlx4, arm64: untag user pointers in mlx4_get_umem_mr".
- Added patch "media/v4l2-core, arm64: untag user pointers in
  videobuf_dma_contig_user_get".
- Added patch "tee/optee, arm64: untag user pointers in check_mem_type".
- Added patch "vfio/type1, arm64: untag user pointers".

Changes in v12:
- Changed untagging in tcp_zerocopy_receive() to also untag zc->address.
- Fixed untagging in prctl_set_mm* to only untag pointers for vma lookups
  and validity checks, but leave them as is for actual user space accesses.
- Updated the link to the v2 of the "arm64 relaxed ABI" patchset [3].
- Dropped the documentation patch, as the "arm64 relaxed ABI" patchset [3]
  handles that.

Changes in v11:
- Added "uprobes, arm64: untag user pointers in find_active_uprobe" patch.
- Added "bpf, arm64: untag user pointers in stack_map_get_build_id_offset"
  patch.
- Fixed "tracing, arm64: untag user pointers in seq_print_user_ip" to
  correctly perform subtration with a tagged addr.
- Moved untagged_addr() from SYSCALL_DEFINE3(mprotect) and
  SYSCALL_DEFINE4(pkey_mprotect) to do_mprotect_pkey().
- Moved untagged_addr() definition for other arches from
  include/linux/memory.h to include/linux/mm.h.
- Changed untagging in strn*_user() to perform userspace accesses through
  tagged pointers.
- Updated the documentation to mention that passing tagged pointers to
  memory syscalls is allowed.
- Updated the test to use malloc'ed memory instead of stack memory.

Changes in v10:
- Added "mm, arm64: untag user pointers passed to memory syscalls" back.
- New patch "fs, arm64: untag user pointers in fs/userfaultfd.c".
- New patch "net, arm64: untag user pointers in tcp_zerocopy_receive".
- New patch "kernel, arm64: untag user pointers in prctl_set_mm*".
- New patch "tracing, arm64: untag user pointers in seq_print_user_ip".

Changes in v9:
- Rebased onto 4.20-rc6.
- Used u64 instead of __u64 in type casts in the untagged_addr macro for
  arm64.

Changes in v8:
- Rebased onto 65102238 (4.20-rc1).
- Added a note to the cover letter on why syscall wrappers/shims that untag
  user pointers won't work.
- Added a note to the cover letter that this patchset has been merged into
  the Pixel 2 kernel tree.

  support tagged user pointers.

Changes in v7:

- Dropped the "arm64: untag user address in __do_user_fault" patch, since
  the existing patches already handle user faults properly.
- Dropped the "usb, arm64: untag user addresses in devio" patch, since the
  passed pointer must come from a vma and therefore be untagged.
- Dropped the "arm64: annotate user pointers casts detected by sparse"

Hi Andrew and Catalin,

Do you think this is ready to be merged?

Should this go through the mm or the arm tree?

Thanks!

I would certainly prefer to take at least the arm64 bits via the arm64 tree
(i.e. patches 1, 2 and 15). We also need a Documentation patch describing
the new ABI.

Sounds good! Should I post those patches together with the
Documentation patches from Vincenzo as a separate patchset?

Vincenzo, could you share the last version of the Documentation patches?

Thanks!

Yes, please (although as you say below, we need a new version of those
patches from Vincenzo to address the feedback on v5). The other thing I
should say is that I'd be happy to queue the other patches in the series
too, but some of them are missing acks from the relevant maintainers (e.g.
the mm/ and fs/ changes).

Good point, this is some jargon that we started using for MTE, the idea being that 
the kernel could set a tag value (specified during mmap()) as "background colour" for 
anonymous pages allocated in that range.

Anyway, this patch series is not about MTE. Andrey, for v20 (if any), I think it's 
best to drop this last sentence to avoid any confusion.

OK, but what does that mean for tagged addresses getting passed to
mmap/mremap?  That sentence read to me like "architectures might allow
tags for ...something...".  So do we accept tagged addresses into those
syscalls?

Indeed, the part with the "background colour" and even the "currently"
adverb should be dropped.

Also, if we merge the patches via different trees anyway, I don't think
there is a need for Andrey to integrate them with his series. We can
pick them up directly in the arm64 tree (once the review finished).

If mmap() does not return a tagged address, the reasoning is that it
should not accept one as an address hint (with or without MAP_FIXED).
Note that these docs should only describe the top-byte-ignore ABI while
leaving the memory tagging for a future patchset.

In that future patchset, we may want to update the mmap() ABI to allow,
only in conjunction with PROT_MTE, a tagged pointer as an address
argument. In such case mmap() will return a tagged address and the pages
pre-coloured (on fault) with the tag requested by the user. As I said,
that's to be discussed later in the year.

Ok, I've queued patches 1, 2, and 15 on a stable branch here:

  https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm64/linux.git/log/?h=for-next/tbi

which should find its way into -next shortly via our for-next/core branch.
If you want to make changes, please send additional patches on top.

This is targetting 5.4, but I will drop it before the merge window if
we don't have both of the following in place:

  * Updated ABI documentation with Acks from Catalin and Kevin
  * The other patches in the series either Acked (so I can pick them up)
    or queued via some other tree(s) for 5.4.

Make sense?

Cheers,

Will

Catalin has posted a new version today.

So we have the following patches in this series:

1. arm64: untag user pointers in access_ok and __uaccess_mask_ptr
2. arm64: Introduce prctl() options to control the tagged user addresses ABI
3. lib: untag user pointers in strn*_user
4. mm: untag user pointers passed to memory syscalls
5. mm: untag user pointers in mm/gup.c
6. mm: untag user pointers in get_vaddr_frames
7. fs/namespace: untag user pointers in copy_mount_options
8. userfaultfd: untag user pointers
9. drm/amdgpu: untag user pointers
10. drm/radeon: untag user pointers in radeon_gem_userptr_ioctl
11. IB/mlx4: untag user pointers in mlx4_get_umem_mr
12. media/v4l2-core: untag user pointers in videobuf_dma_contig_user_get
13. tee/shm: untag user pointers in tee_shm_register
14. vfio/type1: untag user pointers in vaddr_get_pfn
15. selftests, arm64: add a selftest for passing tagged pointers to kernel

1, 2 and 15 have been picked by Will.

11 has been picked up by Jason.

9, 10, 12, 13 and 14 have acks from their subsystem maintainers.

3 touches generic lib code, I'm not sure if there's a dedicated
maintainer for that.

The ones that are left are the mm ones: 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8.

Andrew, could you take a look and give your Acked-by or pick them up directly?

Andrew tends to pick up lib/ patches.

Given the subsystem Acks, it seems like 3-10 and 12 could all just go
via Andrew? I hope he agrees. :)

I'll grab everything that has not yet appeared in linux-next.  If more
of these patches appear in linux-next I'll drop those as well.

The review discussion against " [PATCH v19 02/15] arm64: Introduce
prctl() options to control the tagged user addresses ABI" has petered
out inconclusively.  prctl() vs arch_prctl().

I've always disliked arch_prctl() existing at all. Given that tagging is
likely to be a multi-architectural feature, it seems like the controls
should live in prctl() to me.

It took a bit of grep'ing to figure out what Dave H meant by
arch_prctl(). It's an x86-specific syscall which we do not have on arm64
(and possibly any other architecture). Actually, we don't have any arm64
specific syscalls, only the generic unistd.h, hence the confusion. For
other arm64-specific prctls like SVE we used the generic sys_prctl() and
I can see x86 not being consistent either (PR_MPX_ENABLE_MANAGEMENT).

In general I disagree with adding any arm64-specific syscalls but in
this instance it can't even be justified. I'd rather see some clean-up
similar to arch_ptrace/ptrace_request than introducing new syscall
numbers (but as I suggested in my reply to Dave, that's for another
patch series).

I had a go at refactoring this a while ago, but it fell by the wayside.

I can try to resurrect it if it's still considered worthwhile.
