Subject: [RFC][PATCH 3/3] arm64: elf: Advertise relaxed ABI
Date: Mon, 10 Dec 2018 14:30:44 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20181210143044.12714-4-vincenzo.frascino@arm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20181210143044.12714-1-vincenzo.frascino@arm.com>

On arm64 the TCR_EL1.TBI0 bit has been set since Linux 3.x hence
the userspace (EL0) is allowed to set a non-zero value in the top
byte but the resulting pointers are not allowed at the user-kernel
syscall ABI boundary.

This patch sets ARM64_AT_FLAGS_SYSCALL_TBI (bit[0]) in the AT_FLAGS
to advertise the relaxation of the ABI to the userspace.
