Introduction +--------------- + +On arm64 the TCR_EL1.TBI0 bit has been always enabled on the arm64 kernel, +hence the userspace (EL0) is allowed to set a non-zero value in the top +byte but the resulting pointers are not allowed at the user-kernel syscall +ABI boundary. + +This document describes a relaxation of the ABI with which it is possible +to pass tagged tagged pointers to the syscalls, when these pointers are in +memory ranges obtained as described in paragraph 2. + +Since it is not desirable to relax the ABI to allow tagged user addresses +into the kernel indiscriminately, arm64 provides a new sysctl interface +(/proc/sys/abi/tagged_addr) that is used to prevent the applications from +enabling the relaxed ABI and a new prctl() interface that can be used to +enable or disable the relaxed ABI. + +The sysctl is meant also for testing purposes in order to provide a simple +way for the userspace to verify the return error checking of the prctl() +command without having to reconfigure the kernel. + +The ABI properties are inherited by threads of the same application and +fork()'ed children but cleared when a new process is spawn (execve()). + +2. ARM64 Tagged Address ABI +--------------------------- + +From the kernel syscall interface prospective, we define, for the purposes +of this document, a "valid tagged pointer" as a pointer that either it has +a zero value set in the top byte or it has a non-zero value, it is in memory +ranges privately owned by a userspace process and it is obtained in one of +the following ways: + - mmap() done by the process itself, where either: + * flags = MAP_PRIVATE | MAP_ANONYMOUS + * flags = MAP_PRIVATE and the file descriptor refers to a regular + file or "/dev/zero" + - a mapping below sbrk(0) done by the process itself + - any memory mapped by the kernel in the process's address space during + creation and following the restrictions presented above (i.e. data, bss, + stack). + +The ARM64 Tagged Address ABI is an opt-in feature, and an application can +control it using the following prctl()s: + - PR_SET_TAGGED_ADDR_CTRL: can be used to enable the Tagged Address ABI. + - PR_GET_TAGGED_ADDR_CTRL: can be used to check the status of the Tagged + Address ABI. + +As a consequence of invoking PR_SET_TAGGED_ADDR_CTRL prctl() by an applications, +the ABI guarantees the following behaviours: + + - Every current or newly introduced syscall can accept any valid tagged + pointers. + + - If a non valid tagged pointer is passed to a syscall then the behaviour + is undefined. + + - Every valid tagged pointer is expected to work as an untagged one. + + - The kernel preserves any valid tagged pointers and returns them to the + userspace unchanged in all the cases except the ones documented in the + "Preserving tags" paragraph of tagged-pointers.txt. + +A definition of the meaning of tagged pointers on arm64 can be found in: +Documentation/arm64/tagged-pointers.txt. + +3. ARM64 Tagged Address ABI Exceptions +-------------------------------------- + +The behaviours described in paragraph 2, with particular reference to the +acceptance by the syscalls of any valid tagged pointer are not applicable +to the following cases: + - mmap() addr parameter. + - mremap() new_address parameter. + - prctl_set_mm() struct prctl_map fields. + - prctl_set_mm_map() struct prctl_map fields. + +4.
