Revision 68d54ceeec0e5fee4fb8048e6a04c193f32525ca authored by Catalin Marinas on 10 February 2021, 18:03:16 UTC, committed by Catalin Marinas on 12 February 2021, 16:08:31 UTC
The ptrace(PTRACE_PEEKMTETAGS) implementation checks whether the user
page has valid tags (mapped with PROT_MTE) by testing the PG_mte_tagged
page flag. If this bit is cleared, ptrace(PTRACE_PEEKMTETAGS) returns
-EIO.

A newly created (PROT_MTE) mapping points to the zero page which had its
tags zeroed during cpu_enable_mte(). If there were no prior writes to
this mapping, ptrace(PTRACE_PEEKMTETAGS) fails with -EIO since the zero
page does not have the PG_mte_tagged flag set.

Set PG_mte_tagged on the zero page when its tags are cleared during
boot. In addition, to avoid ptrace(PTRACE_PEEKMTETAGS) succeeding on
!PROT_MTE mappings pointing to the zero page, change the
__access_remote_tags() check to (vm_flags & VM_MTE) instead of
PG_mte_tagged.
