[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 00/17] target/arm: Implement ARMv8.5-MemTag


From: Richard Henderson
Subject: [Qemu-devel] [PATCH 00/17] target/arm: Implement ARMv8.5-MemTag
Date: Mon, 14 Jan 2019 12:11:05 +1100

Based-on: address@hidden
aka the TBID patch set, which itself is based on the BTI patch set.

The full tree is available at

  https://github.org/rth7680/qemu.git tgt-arm-mte

This extension isl also spelled MTE in the ARM.

This patch set only attempts to implement linux-user emulation.
For system emulation, I still miss the new cache flushing insns (easy)
and the out-of-band physical memory for the allocation tags (harder).

>From a few mis-steps in writing the test cases for the extension,
I might suggest that some future kernel's userland ABI for this have
TCR.TCMA0 = 1, so that legacy code that is *not* MTE aware can use
a frame pointer without accidentally tripping left over stack tags.
(As seen in patch 5, SP+OFF is unchecked per the ISA but FP+OFF is not.)

OTOH, depending on the application, that does make it easier for an
attack vector to clean the tag off the top of a pointer to bypass
store checking.  So, tricky.
