Preserving tags
---------------

+Non-zero tags are not preserved in the fault address fields
+siginfo.si_addr or sigcontext.fault_address when delivering
+signals. This means that signal handlers in applications making use

+being maintained in these fields. One exception to this rule is for

+
+The fault address tag is preserved in the fault_addr_top_byte field of
+the signal frame record fault_addr_top_byte_context, which is present
+for signals raised in response to data aborts and instruction aborts.
The architecture prevents the use of a tagged PC, so the upper byte will
be set to a sign-extension of bit 55 on exception return.

The kernel currently clears the tag bits (i.e. bits 56-63) in the fault address exposed via siginfo.si_addr and sigcontext.fault_address. However, the tag bits may be needed by tools in order to accurately diagnose memory errors, such as HWASan [1] or future tools based on the Memory Tagging Extension (MTE). We should not stop clearing these bits in the existing fault address fields, because there may be existing userspace applications that are expecting the tag bits to be cleared. Instead, create a fault_addr_top_byte_context in sigcontext (similar to the existing esr_context), and store the tag bits of FAR_EL1 there. [1] http://clang.llvm.org/docs/HardwareAssistedAddressSanitizerDesign.html Signed-off-by: Peter Collingbourne <pcc@google.com> --- v4: - expose only the tag bits in the context instead of the entire FAR_EL1 - remove mention of the new context from the sigcontext.__reserved[] note v3: - add documentation to tagged-pointers.rst - update comments in sigcontext.h v2: - revert changes to hw_breakpoint.c - rename set_thread_esr to set_thread_far_esr Documentation/arm64/tagged-pointers.rst | 17 +++++---- arch/arm64/include/asm/exception.h | 2 +- arch/arm64/include/asm/processor.h | 2 +- arch/arm64/include/uapi/asm/sigcontext.h | 11 +++++- arch/arm64/kernel/entry-common.c | 2 -- arch/arm64/kernel/signal.c | 22 +++++++++++- arch/arm64/mm/fault.c | 45 ++++++++++++++---------- 7 files changed, 71 insertions(+), 30 deletions(-)
