    arm64: mte: Allow user control of the generated random tags via prctl() · af5ce952
    Catalin Marinas authored
    The IRG, ADDG and SUBG instructions insert a random tag in the resulting
    address. Certain tags can be excluded via the GCR_EL1.Exclude bitmap
    when, for example, the user wants a certain colour for freed buffers.
    Since the GCR_EL1 register is not accessible at EL0, extend the
    prctl(PR_SET_TAGGED_ADDR_CTRL) interface to include a 16-bit field in
    the first argument for controlling which tags can be generated by the
    above instruction (an include rather than exclude mask). Note that by
    default all non-zero tags are excluded. This setting is per-thread.
