On some CPUs the performance of MTE in synchronous mode is similar
to that of asynchronous mode. This makes it worthwhile to enable
synchronous mode on those CPUs when asynchronous mode is requested,
in order to gain the error detection benefits of synchronous mode
without the performance downsides. Therefore, make it possible for
user programs to opt into upgrading to synchronous mode on those CPUs.

This is done by introducing a notion of a preferred TCF mode, which is
controlled on a per-CPU basis by a sysfs node. The existing SYNC and
ASYNC TCF settings are repurposed as bitfields that specify a set of
possible modes. If the preferred TCF mode for a particular CPU is in
the user-provided mode set (this will always be the case for mode sets
containing more than one mode because the kernel only supports two tag
checking modes, but future kernels may support more modes) then that
mode is used when running on that CPU, otherwise one of the modes in
the task's mode set will be selected in a currently unspecified manner.

v8:
- split into multiple patches
- remove MTE_CTRL_TCF_NONE
- improve documentation
- disable preemption and add comment to mte_update_sctlr_user
- bring back PR_MTE_TCF_SHIFT for source compatibility
- address formatting nit

v7:
- switch to new API proposed on list

v6:
- switch to strings in sysfs nodes instead of TCF values

v5:
- updated documentation
- address some nits in mte.c

v4:
- switch to new mte_ctrl field
- make register_mte_upgrade_async_sysctl return an int
- change the sysctl to take 0 or 1 instead of raw TCF values
- "same as" -> "similar to"

v3:
- drop the device tree support
- add documentation
- add static_assert to ensure no overlap with real HW bits
- move per-CPU variable initialization to mte.c
- use smp_call_function_single instead of stop_machine

v2:
- make it an opt-in behavior
- change the format of the device tree node
- also allow controlling the feature via sysfs

Peter Collingbourne (5):
  arm64: mte: rename gcr_user_excl to mte_ctrl
  arm64: mte: change ASYNC and SYNC TCF settings into bitfields
  arm64: move preemption disablement to prctl handlers
  arm64: mte: introduce a per-CPU tag checking mode preference
  Documentation: document the preferred tag checking mode feature

We are going to use this field to store more data. To prepare for
that, rename it and change the users to rely on the bit position of
gcr_user_excl in mte_ctrl.

Allow the user program to specify both ASYNC and SYNC TCF modes by
repurposing the existing constants as bitfields. This will allow the
kernel to select one of the modes on behalf of the user program. With
this patch the kernel will always select async mode, but a subsequent
patch will make this configurable.

In the next patch, we will start reading sctlr_user from
mte_update_sctlr_user and subsequently writing a new value based on the
task's TCF setting and potentially the per-CPU TCF preference. This
means that we need to be careful to disable preemption around any
code sequences that read from sctlr_user and subsequently write to
sctlr_user and/or SCTLR_EL1, so that we don't end up writing a stale
value (based on the previous CPU's TCF preference) to either of them.

We currently have four such sequences, in the prctl handlers for
PR_SET_TAGGED_ADDR_CTRL and PR_PAC_SET_ENABLED_KEYS, as well as in
the task initialization code that resets the prctl settings. Change
the prctl handlers to disable preemption in the handlers themselves
rather than the functions that they call, and change the task
initialization code to call the respective prctl handlers instead of
setting sctlr_user directly.

As a result of this change, we no longer need the helper function
set_task_sctlr_el1, nor does its behavior make sense any more, so
remove it.

Add a per-CPU sysfs node, mte_tcf_preferred, that allows the preferred
tag checking mode to be configured. The current possible values are
async and sync.

 interface provides an include mask. An include mask of ``0`` (exclusion
 mask ``0xffff``) results in the CPU always generating tag ``0``.
 
+Per-CPU preferred tag checking mode
+-----------------------------------
+
+On some CPUs the performance of MTE in stricter tag checking modes
+is similar to that of less strict tag checking modes. This makes it
+worthwhile to enable stricter checks on those CPUs when a less strict
+checking mode is requested, in order to gain the error detection
+benefits of the stricter checks without the performance downsides. To
+support this scenario, a privileged user may configure a stricter
+tag checking mode as the CPU's preferred tag checking mode.
+
+The preferred tag checking mode for each CPU is controlled by
+``/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu<N>/mte_tcf_preferred``, to which a
+privileged user may write the value ``async`` or ``sync``.  The default
+preferred mode for each CPU is ``async``.
+
+To allow a program to potentially run in the CPU's preferred tag
+checking mode, the user program may set multiple tag check fault mode
+bits in the ``flags`` argument to the ``prctl(PR_SET_TAGGED_ADDR_CTRL,
+flags, 0, 0, 0)`` system call. If the CPU's preferred tag checking
+mode is in the task's set of provided tag checking modes (this will
+always be the case at present because the kernel only supports two
+tag checking modes, but future kernels may support more modes), that
+mode will be selected. Otherwise, one of the modes in the task's mode
+set will be selected in a currently unspecified manner.

 - ``PR_TAGGED_ADDR_ENABLE`` set to 0 (disabled)

Ok, so when do they take effect?  A hint would be nice :)

I'll go with Will suggestion below and remove this line altogether (it
takes effect when scheduling a task on a CPU):

Applied to arm64 (for-next/mte) but first added Will's acks from v10 an
changed the Documentation/ patch to state "when scheduling" instead of
"when running". Thanks!
