Subject: arm64: hw_breakpoint: fix watchpoint matching for tagged pointers
From: Kristina Martsenko <kristina.martsenko@arm.com>
commit 7dcd9dd8cebe9fa626af7e2358d03a37041a70fb upstream.
When we take a watchpoint exception, the address that triggered the
watchpoint is found in FAR_EL1. We compare it to the address of each
configured watchpoint to see which one was hit.
The configured watchpoint addresses are untagged, while the address in
FAR_EL1 will have an address tag if the data access was done using a
tagged address. The tag needs to be removed to compare the address to
the watchpoints.
Currently we don't remove it, and as a result can report the wrong
watchpoint as being hit (specifically, always either the highest TTBR0
watchpoint or lowest TTBR1 watchpoint). This patch removes the tag.
Fixes: d50240a5f6ce ("arm64: mm: permit use of tagged pointers at EL0")
