Introduction +--------------- + +On arm64 the TCR_EL1.TBI0 bit has always been enabled on the kernel, hence +the userspace (EL0) is entitled to perform a user memory access through a +64-bit pointer with a non-zero top byte but the resulting pointers are not +allowed at the user-kernel syscall ABI boundary. + +This document describes a relaxation of the ABI that makes it possible to +to pass tagged pointers to the syscalls, when these pointers are in memory +ranges obtained as described in section 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. +A detailed description of the newly introduced mechanisms will be provided +in section 2. + +2. ARM64 Tagged Address ABI +--------------------------- + +From the kernel syscall interface perspective, we define, for the purposes +of this document, a "valid tagged pointer" as a pointer that either has a +zero value set in the top byte or has a non-zero value, is in memory ranges +privately owned by a userspace process and is obtained in one of the +following ways: +- mmap() done by the process itself, where either: + + - flags have **MAP_PRIVATE** and **MAP_ANONYMOUS** + - flags have **MAP_PRIVATE** and the file descriptor refers to a regular + file or **/dev/zero** + +- brk() system call done by the process itself (i.e. the heap area between + the initial location of the program break at process creation and its + current location). +- any memory mapped by the kernel in the process's address space during + creation and with the same restrictions as for mmap() (e.g. data, bss, + stack). + +The ARM64 Tagged Address ABI is an opt-in feature, and an application can +control it using the following: + +- **/proc/sys/abi/tagged_addr**: a new sysctl interface that can be used to + prevent the applications from enabling the access to the relaxed ABI. + The sysctl supports the following configuration options: + + - **0**: Disable the access to the ARM64 Tagged Address ABI for all + the applications. + - **1** (Default): Enable the access to the ARM64 Tagged Address ABI for + all the applications. + + If the access to the ARM64 Tagged Address ABI is disabled at a certain + point in time, all the applications that were using tagging before this + event occurs, will continue to use tagging. +- **prctl()s**: + + - **PR_SET_TAGGED_ADDR_CTRL**: Invoked by a process, can be used to enable or + disable its access to the ARM64 Tagged Address ABI. + + The (unsigned int) arg2 argument is a bit mask describing the control mode + used: + + - **PR_TAGGED_ADDR_ENABLE**: Enable ARM64 Tagged Address ABI. + + The prctl(PR_SET_TAGGED_ADDR_CTRL, ...) will return -EINVAL if the ARM64 + Tagged Address ABI is not available. + + The arguments arg3, arg4, and arg5 are ignored. + - **PR_GET_TAGGED_ADDR_CTRL**: can be used to check the status of the Tagged + Address ABI. + + The arguments arg2, arg3, arg4, and arg5 are ignored. + +The ABI properties set by the mechanisms described above are inherited by threads +of the same application and fork()'ed children but cleared by execve(). + +When a process has successfully opted into the new ABI by invoking +PR_SET_TAGGED_ADDR_CTRL prctl(), this guarantees the following behaviours: + + - Every currently available syscall, except the cases mentioned in section 3, can + accept any valid tagged pointer. The same rule is applicable to any syscall + introduced in the future. + - 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 pointer and returns it to the + userspace unchanged (i.e. on syscall return) in all the cases except the + ones documented in the "Preserving tags" section 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 section 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(PR_SET_MM, PR_SET_MM_MAP, ...) struct prctl_mm_map fields. + - prctl(PR_SET_MM, PR_SET_MM_MAP_SIZE, ...) struct prctl_mm_map fields. + +Any attempt to use non-zero tagged pointers will lead to undefined behaviour. + +4.
