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. This patch makes a few of the kernel interfaces accept tagged user pointers. The kernel is already able to handle user faults with tagged pointers and has the untagged_addr macro, which this patchset reuses. We're not trying to cover all possible ways the kernel accepts user pointers in one patchset, so this one should be considered as a start. Thanks! [1] http://clang.llvm.org/docs/HardwareAssistedAddressSanitizerDesign.html Changes in RFC v2: - Added "#ifndef untagged_addr..." fallback in linux/uaccess.h instead of defining it for each arch individually. - Updated Documentation/arm64/tagged-pointers.txt. - Dropped a??mm, arm64: untag user addresses in memory syscallsa??. - Rebased onto 3eb2ce82 (4.16-rc7).
