075fde5818Samuel Holland <samuel.holland@sifive.com> says: 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 width is variable, as with LAM on x86, it must be kept the same across all threads in a process so untagged_addr_remote() can work.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
