If a user program uses userfaultfd on ranges of heap memory, it may end up passing a tagged pointer to the kernel in the range.start field of the UFFDIO_REGISTER ioctl. This can happen when using an MTE-capable allocator, or on Android if using the Tagged Pointers feature for MTE readiness [1].
When a fault subsequently occurs, the tag is stripped from the fault address returned to the application in the fault.address field of struct uffd_msg. However, from the application's perspective, the tagged address *is* the memory address, so if the application is unaware of memory tags, it may get confused by receiving an address that is, from its point of view, outside of the bounds of the allocation. We observed this behavior in the kselftest for userfaultfd [2] but other applications could have the same problem.
Fix this by remembering which tag was used to originally register the userfaultfd and passing that tag back in fault.address. In a future enhancement, we may want to pass back the original fault address, but like SA_EXPOSE_TAGBITS, this should be guarded by a flag.

+When using userfaultfd the address tag supplied in the range.start +field of the UFFDIO_REGISTER ioctl is preserved and returned to +userspace via the fault.address field of struct uffd_msg, and the +tag of the original fault address is discarded. + The architecture prevents the use of a tagged PC, so the upper byte will be set to a sign-extension of bit 55 on exception return.
