LAM is supported only in 64-bit mode and applies only addresses used for data accesses. In 64-bit mode, linear address have 64 bits. LAM is applied to 64-bit linear address and allow software to use high bits for metadata. LAM supports configurations that differ regarding which pointer bits are masked and can be used for metadata. LAM includes following mode: - LAM_U57, pointer bits in positions 62:57 are masked (LAM width 6), allows bits 62:57 of a user pointer to be used as metadata. There are some arch_prctls: ARCH_ENABLE_TAGGED_ADDR: enable LAM mode, mask high bits of a user pointer. ARCH_GET_UNTAG_MASK: get current untagged mask. ARCH_GET_MAX_TAG_BITS: the maximum tag bits user can request. zero if LAM is not supported. The LAM mode is for pre-process, a process has only one chance to set LAM mode. But there is no API to disable LAM mode. So all of test cases are run under child process. Functions of this test: MALLOC - LAM_U57 masks bits 57:62 of a user pointer. Process on user space can dereference such pointers. - Disable LAM, dereference a pointer with metadata above 48 bit or 57 bit lead to trigger SIGSEGV. TAG_BITS - Max tag bits of LAM_U57 is 6.
