The TBI setup on arm64 is very strange: HW is set up to always do TBI, but the kernel enforcement for system calls is purely a software contract, and user space is supposed to mask off the top bits before the system call. Except all the actual brk/mmap/etc() system calls then mask it in kernel space anyway, and accept any TBI address. This basically unifies things and makes access_ok() also ignore it. This is an ABI change, but the current situation is very odd, and this change avoids the current mess and makes the kernel more permissive, and as such is unlikely to break anything. The way forward - for some possible future situation when people want to use more bits - is probably to introduce a new "I actually want the full 64-bit address space" prctl. But we should make sure that the software and hardware rules actually match at that point. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> |
