[PATCH v2 00/19] arm64: Memory Tagging Extension user-space support

Hi,

This is the second version (first version here [1]) of the series
proposing the user-space support for the ARMv8.5 Memory Tagging
Extension ([2], [3]). The patches are also available on this branch:

  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm64/linux devel/mte-v2

Changes in this version:

- HWCAP2_MTE moved to bit 18.

- Changed the polarity of the tag exclusion mask passed to prctl() for
  setting the GCR_EL1.Excl field. It is now an include mask, defaulting
  to 0 (no tag generated by IRG by default).

- Dropped #ifdef __aarch64__ in the generic siginfo.h, renumbered
  SEGV_MTE* after the SEGV_ADI* macros.

- Following an architecture update/fix, accesses to user memory done by
  the kernel now use the user-selected tag checking mode
  (SCTLR_EL1.TCF0). This required clearing the PSTATE.TCO on the kernel
  exception entry and setting the TIF_MTE_ASYNC_FAULT on context switch
  if any uaccess routine generated an asynchronous tag check fault.

- For asynchronous faults in user space, a SIGSEGV is now delivered
  before processing the syscall (using -ERESTARTNOINTR).

- Moved the MTE-related code from arch/arm64/kernel/process.c to mte.c.

- Documentation updated following the above ABI changes.

- Some of the preparatory or clean-up patches have been merged (as-instr
  support in Kconfig files, prot flags 0x10 and 0x20 reserved in the
  generic file, MAIR_EL1 setting cleanup).

- Some small fixes and clean-ups following review.

While there are still missing bits, I'm posting a v2 to continue the
discussion with the libc folk on the main ABI aspects. Additional
features will be posted in due course:

- ptrace() support to be able to access the tags in memory of a
  different process, something like PTRACE_{PEEK,POKE}MTETAGS. Under
  development.

- Swap support, currently under development.

- Related to the above is suspend to disk.

- DT and ACPI description on whether the SoC support MTE (CPUID checking
  is insufficient).

- coredump (user) currently does not contain the tags.

- kselftests, under development.

- Clarify whether mmap(tagged_addr, PROT_MTE) pre-tags the memory with
  the tag given in the tagged_addr hint. Following commit ce18d171cb73
  ("mm: untag user pointers in mmap/munmap/mremap/brk"), mmap() no
  longer accepts tagged hint addresses. This could be relaxed only when
  PROT_MTE is passed, however a deeper investigation is needed on
  whether we can still keep the zero page on arm64 for mappings that do
  not require pre-tagging.
