Currently only 4bits are allocated in the vma flags to hold 16
keys. This is sufficient for x86. PowerPC supports 32 keys,
which needs 5bits. This patch allocates an additional bit.

This patch series provides arch-neutral enhancements to
enable memory-keys on new architecutes, and the corresponding
changes in x86 and powerpc specific code to support that.
a) Provides ability to support upto 32 keys. PowerPC

Currently the architecture specific code is expected to
display the protection keys in smap for a given vma.
This can lead to redundant code and possibly to divergent
formats in which the key gets displayed.
This patch changes the implementation. It displays the

VM_PKEY_BITx are defined only if CONFIG_X86_INTEL_MEMORY_PROTECTION_KEYS
is enabled. Powerpc also needs these bits. Hence lets define the
VM_PKEY_BITx bits for any architecture that enables
CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_PKEYS.

strncpy_from_user and strnlen_user accept user addresses as arguments, and
do not go through the same path as copy_from_user and others, so here we
need to separately handle the case of tagged user addresses as well.
Untag user pointers passed to these functions.

To allow arm64 syscalls accept tagged pointers from userspace, we must
untag them when they are passed to the kernel. Since untagging is done in
generic parts of the kernel (like the mm subsystem), the untagged_addr
macro should be defined for all architectures.
Define it as a noop for other archi
Add a note that work on passing tagged user pointers to the kernel via
syscalls has started, but might not be complete yet.

This patch makes the untagged_addr macro accept all kinds of address types
(void *, unsigned long, etc.) and allows not to specify type casts in each
place where it is used. This is done by using __typeof__.

Hi!
arm64 has a feature called Top Byte Ignore, which allows to embed pointer
tags into the top byte of each pointer. Userspace programs (such as
HWASan, a memory debugging tool [1]) might use this feature and pass
tagged user pointers to the kernel through syscalls or other interfaces.
