Merge tag 'arm64-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/ker…
…nel/git/cmarinas/linux-aarch64 Pull ARM64 update from Catalin Marinas: - User tagged pointers support (top 8-bit of user pointers automatically ignored by the CPU). - Kernel mode NEON (no users for arm64 yet but work in progress). - arm64 kernel Image header extended to accommodate future EFI stub. - Remove BogoMIPS reporting (not relevant, it's just the timer frequency). - Clean-up (EM_AARCH64/EM_ARM to elf-em.h, ELF notes in read-only segment, unused variable). - Bug-fixes (RAM boundaries not 2MB aligned, perf, includes). * tag 'arm64-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/cmarinas/linux-aarch64: Documentation/arm64: clarify requirements for DTB placement arm64: mm: permit use of tagged pointers at EL0 Move the EM_ARM and EM_AARCH64 definitions to uapi/linux/elf-em.h arm64: Remove unused cpu_name ascii in arch/arm64/mm/proc.S arm64: delay: don't bother reporting bogomips in /proc/cpuinfo arm64: Fix mapping of memory banks not ending on a PMD_SIZE boundary arm64: move elf notes into readonly segment arm64: Enable interrupts in the EL0 undef handler arm64: Expand arm64 image header ARM64: include: asm: include "asm/types.h" in "pgtable-2level-types.h" and "pgtable-3level-types.h" arm64: add support for kernel mode NEON arm64: perf: fix ARMv8 EVTYPE_MASK to include NSH bit arm64: perf: fix group validation when using enable_on_exec

Tagged virtual addresses in AArch64 Linux | ||
========================================= | ||
|
||
Author: Will Deacon <will.deacon@arm.com> | ||
Date : 12 June 2013 | ||
|
||
This document briefly describes the provision of tagged virtual | ||
addresses in the AArch64 translation system and their potential uses | ||
in AArch64 Linux. | ||
|
||
The kernel configures the translation tables so that translations made | ||
via TTBR0 (i.e. userspace mappings) have the top byte (bits 63:56) of | ||
the virtual address ignored by the translation hardware. This frees up | ||
this byte for application use, with the following caveats: | ||
|
||
(1) The kernel requires that all user addresses passed to EL1 | ||
are tagged with tag 0x00. This means that any syscall | ||
parameters containing user virtual addresses *must* have | ||
their top byte cleared before trapping to the kernel. | ||
|
||
(2) Tags are not guaranteed to be preserved when delivering | ||
signals. This means that signal handlers in applications | ||
making use of tags cannot rely on the tag information for | ||
user virtual addresses being maintained for fields inside | ||
siginfo_t. One exception to this rule is for signals raised | ||
in response to debug exceptions, where the tag information | ||
will be preserved. | ||
|
||
(3) Special care should be taken when using tagged pointers, | ||
since it is likely that C compilers will not hazard two | ||
addresses differing only in the upper bits. | ||
|
||
The architecture prevents the use of a tagged PC, so the upper byte will | ||
be set to a sign-extension of bit 55 on exception return. |
