[PATCH v14 2/8] arm64: Handle MTE tags zeroing in __alloc_zeroed_user_highpage()

From: Steven Price
Date: Mon Jun 07 2021 - 07:08:42 EST


From: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@xxxxxxx>

Currently, on an anonymous page fault, the kernel allocates a zeroed
page and maps it in user space. If the mapping is tagged (PROT_MTE),
set_pte_at() additionally clears the tags under a spinlock to avoid a
race on the page->flags. In order to optimise the lock, clear the page
tags on allocation in __alloc_zeroed_user_highpage() if the vma flags
have VM_MTE set.
