Should this go through the mm or the arm tree?
I would certainly prefer to take at least the arm64 bits via the arm64 tree (i.e. patches 1, 2 and 15). We also need a Documentation patch describing the new ABI.
Sounds good! Should I post those patches together with the Documentation patches from Vincenzo as a separate patchset?
Yes, please (although as you say below, we need a new version of those patches from Vincenzo to address the feedback on v5). The other thing I should say is that I'd be happy to queue the other patches in the series too, but some of them are missing acks from the relevant maintainers (e.g. the mm/ and fs/ changes).
Ok, I've queued patches 1, 2, and 15 on a stable branch here:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm64/linux.git/log/?h=for-n...
which should find its way into -next shortly via our for-next/core branch. If you want to make changes, please send additional patches on top.
This is targetting 5.4, but I will drop it before the merge window if we don't have both of the following in place:
- Updated ABI documentation with Acks from Catalin and Kevin
Catalin has posted a new version today.
- The other patches in the series either Acked (so I can pick them up) or queued via some other tree(s) for 5.4.
So we have the following patches in this series:
- arm64: untag user pointers in access_ok and __uaccess_mask_ptr
- arm64: Introduce prctl() options to control the tagged user addresses ABI
- lib: untag user pointers in strn*_user
- mm: untag user pointers passed to memory syscalls
- mm: untag user pointers in mm/gup.c
- mm: untag user pointers in get_vaddr_frames
- fs/namespace: untag user pointers in copy_mount_options
- userfaultfd: untag user pointers
- drm/amdgpu: untag user pointers
- drm/radeon: untag user pointers in radeon_gem_userptr_ioctl
- IB/mlx4: untag user pointers in mlx4_get_umem_mr
- media/v4l2-core: untag user pointers in videobuf_dma_contig_user_get
- tee/shm: untag user pointers in tee_shm_register
- vfio/type1: untag user pointers in vaddr_get_pfn
- selftests, arm64: add a selftest for passing tagged pointers to kernel
1, 2 and 15 have been picked by Will.
11 has been picked up by Jason.
9, 10, 12, 13 and 14 have acks from their subsystem maintainers.
3 touches generic lib code, I'm not sure if there's a dedicated maintainer for that.
Andrew tends to pick up lib/ patches.
The ones that are left are the mm ones: 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8.
Andrew, could you take a look and give your Acked-by or pick them up directly?
Given the subsystem Acks, it seems like 3-10 and 12 could all just go via Andrew? I hope he agrees. :)
