Series arm64: untag user pointers passed to the kernel | expand

Commit Message

This patch is a part of a series that extends arm64 kernel ABI to allow to
pass tagged user pointers (with the top byte set to something else other
than 0x00) as syscall arguments.

get_vaddr_frames uses provided user pointers for vma lookups, which can
only by done with untagged pointers. Instead of locating and changing
all callers of this function, perform untagging in it.

Is this some buffer that the user may have malloc'ed? I got lost when
trying to track down the provenience of this buffer.

The caller that I found when I was looking at this:

drivers/gpu/drm/exynos/exynos_drm_g2d.c:482
exynos_g2d_set_cmdlist_ioctl()->g2d_map_cmdlist_gem()->g2d_userptr_get_dma_addr()->get_vaddr_frames()
