Subject: [PATCH] arm64: mte: Allow PTRACE_PEEKMTETAGS access to the zero page
Date: Wed, 10 Feb 2021 18:03:16 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210210180316.23654-1-catalin.marinas@arm.com> (raw)

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.

Fixes: 34bfeea4a9e9 ("arm64: mte: Clear the tags when a page is mapped in user-space with PROT_MTE")

---

The fix is actually checking VM_MTE instead of PG_mte_tagged in
__access_remote_tags() but I added the WARN_ON(!PG_mte_tagged) and
setting the flag on the zero page in case we break this assumption in
the future.
