A PAC is derived from +a pointer, another value (such as the stack pointer), and a secret key +held in system registers. + +The extension adds instructions to insert a valid PAC into a pointer, +and to verify/remove the PAC from a pointer. The PAC occupies a number +of high-order bits of the pointer, which varies dependent on the +configured virtual address size and whether pointer tagging is in use. + +A subset of these instructions have been allocated from the HINT +encoding space. In the absence of the extension (or when disabled), +these instructions behave as NOPs. Applications and libraries using +these instructions operate correctly regardless of the presence of the +extension. + + +Basic support +------------- + +When CONFIG_ARM64_PTR_AUTH is selected, and relevant HW support is +present, the kernel will assign a random APIAKey value to each process +at exec*() time. This key is shared by all threads within the process, +and the key is preserved across fork(). Presence of functionality using +APIAKey is advertised via HWCAP_APIA. + +Recent versions of GCC can compile code with APIAKey-based return +address protection when passed the -msign-return-address option. This +uses instructions in the HINT space, and such code can run on systems +without the pointer authentication extension. + +The remaining instruction and data keys (APIBKey, APDAKey, APDBKey) are +reserved for future use, and instructions using these keys must not be +used by software until a purpose and scope for their use has been +decided. To enable future software using these keys to function on +contemporary kernels, where possible, instructions using these keys are +made to behave as NOPs. + +The generic key (APGAKey) is currently unsupported. Instructions using +the generic key must not be used by software. + + +Debugging +--------- + +When CONFIG_ARM64_PTR_AUTH is selected, and relevant HW support is +present, the kernel will expose the position of TTBR0 PAC bits in the +NT_ARM_PAC_MASK regset (struct user_pac_mask), which userspace can +acqure via PTRACE_GETREGSET. + +Separate masks are exposed for data pointers and instruction pointers, +as the set of PAC bits can vary between the two. Debuggers should not +expect that HWCAP_APIA implies the presence (or non-presence) of this +regset -- in future the kernel may support the use of APIBKey, APDAKey, +and/or APBAKey, even in the absence of APIAKey. + +Note that the masks apply to TTBR0 addresses, and are not valid to apply +to TTBR1 addresses (e.g. kernel pointers). + + +Virtualization +-------------- + +Pointer authentication is not currently supported in KVM guests. KVM +will mask the feature bits from ID_AA64ISAR1_EL1, and attempted use of +the feature will result in an UNDEFINED exception being injected into +the guest.
