[v2,00/10] riscv: Userspace pointer masking and tagged address ABI

Message

Samuel Holland June 25, 2024, 9:09 p.m. UTC

RISC-V defines three extensions for pointer masking[1]:
 - Smmpm: configured in M-mode, affects M-mode
 - Smnpm: configured in M-mode, affects the next lower mode (S or U-mode)
 - Ssnpm: configured in S-mode, affects the next lower mode (VS, VU, or U-mode)

This series adds support for configuring Smnpm or Ssnpm (depending on
which privilege mode the kernel is running in) to allow pointer masking
in userspace (VU or U-mode), extending the PR_SET_TAGGED_ADDR_CTRL API
from arm64. Unlike arm64 TBI, userspace pointer masking is not enabled
by default on RISC-V. Additionally, the tag width (referred to as PMLEN)
is variable, so userspace needs to ask the kernel for a specific tag
width (which is interpreted as a lower bound on the number of tag bits).

This series also adds support for a tagged address ABI similar to arm64
and x86. Since accesses from the kernel to user memory use the kernel's
pointer masking configuration, not the user's, the kernel must untag
user pointers in software before dereferencing them. And since the tag
length is variable, as with LAM on x86, it must be the same across all
threads in a process so untagged_addr_remote() can work.

This series depends on my per-thread envcfg series[3].

This series can be tested in QEMU by applying a patch set[2].

KASAN support will be added in a separate patch series.

[2]: https://lore.kernel.org/qemu-devel/[e-mail]/
[3]: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-riscv/[e-mail]/

Changes in v2:
 - Drop patch 4 ("riscv: Define is_compat_thread()"), as an equivalent
   patch was already applied
 - Move patch 5 ("riscv: Split per-CPU and per-thread envcfg bits") to a
   different series[3]
 - Update pointer masking specification version reference
 - Provide macros for the extension affecting the kernel and userspace
 - Use the correct name for the hstatus.HUPMM field
 - Rebase on riscv/linux.git for-next
 - Add and use the envcfg_update_bits() helper function
 - Inline flush_tagged_addr_state()
 - Implement untagged_addr_remote()
 - Restrict PMLEN changes once a process is multithreaded
 - Rename "tags" directory to "pm" to avoid .gitignore rules
 - Add .gitignore file to ignore the compiled selftest binary
 - Write to a pipe to force dereferencing the user pointer
 - Handle SIGSEGV in the child process to reduce dmesg noise
 - Export Supm via hwprobe
 - Export Smnpm and Ssnpm to KVM guests
