Patch series "userfaultfd: do not untag user pointers", v5.

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.

Address this by not untagging pointers passed to the userfaultfd ioctls.
Instead, let the system call fail.  Also change the kselftest to use
mmap so that it doesn't encounter this problem.

This patch (of 2):

Do not untag pointers passed to the userfaultfd ioctls.  Instead, let
the system call fail.  This will provide an early indication of problems
with tag-unaware userspace code instead of letting the code get confused
later, and is consistent with how we decided to handle brk/mmap/mremap
in commit dcde237319e6 ("mm: Avoid creating virtual address aliases in
brk()/mmap()/mremap()"), as well as being consistent with the existing
tagged address ABI documentation relating to how ioctl arguments are
handled.

The code change is a revert of commit 7d0325749a6c ("userfaultfd: untag
user pointers") plus some fixups to some additional calls to
validate_range that have appeared since then.

v8.7 of the architecture introduced FEAT_HCX which adds an additional
hypervisor configuration register HCRX_EL2. Even though Linux does not
currently make use of this feature let's document that the EL3 trap for
access to the register should be disabled so that we are able to make
use of it in future.

We do not currently document the requirements for configuration of the
SVE system registers when booting the kernel, let's do so for completeness.

We don't have a hard requirement that the vector lengths configured on
different CPUs on initial boot be consistent since we have logic to
constrain to the minimum supported value but we will reject any late CPUs
which can't support the current maximum and introducing the concept of
late CPUs seemed more complex than was useful so we require that all CPUs
use the same value.

Currently we require that a number of system registers be configured to
disable traps when starting the kernel. Add an explicit note that the
requirement is that the system behave as if the traps are disabled so
transparent handling of the traps is fine, this should be implicit for
people familiar with working with standards documents but it doesn't hurt
to be explicit.

Prior to commit dcde237319e6 ("mm: Avoid creating virtual address
aliases in brk()/mmap()/mremap()"), the kernel allowed tagged addresses
to be passed to the brk/mmap/mremap() syscalls. This relaxation was
tightened in 5.6 (backported to stable 5.4) but the
tagged-address-abi.rst document was only partially updated.

Pull arm64 updates from Catalin Marinas:

 - MTE asynchronous support for KASan. Previously only synchronous
   (slower) mode was supported. Asynchronous is faster but does not
   allow precise identification of the illegal access.

 - Run kernel mode SIMD with softirqs disabled. This allows using NEON
   in softirq context for crypto performance improvements. The
   conditional yield support is modified to take softirqs into account
   and reduce the latency.

 - Preparatory patches for Apple M1: handle CPUs that only have the VHE
   mode available (host kernel running at EL2), add FIQ support.

 - arm64 perf updates: support for HiSilicon PA and SLLC PMU drivers,
   new functions for the HiSilicon HHA and L3C PMU, cleanups.

 - Re-introduce support for execute-only user permissions but only when
   the EPAN (Enhanced Privileged Access Never) architecture feature is
   available.

 - Disable fine-grained traps at boot and improve the documented boot
   requirements.

 - Support CONFIG_KASAN_VMALLOC on arm64 (only with KASAN_GENERIC).

 - Add hierarchical eXecute Never permissions for all page tables.

 - Add arm64 prctl(PR_PAC_{SET,GET}_ENABLED_KEYS) allowing user programs
   to control which PAC keys are enabled in a particular task.

 - arm64 kselftests for BTI and some improvements to the MTE tests.

 - Minor improvements to the compat vdso and sigpage.

 - Miscellaneous cleanups.
