From d94c12bd97d567de342fd32599e7cd9e50bfa140 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Collingbourne pcc@google.com Date: Wed, 2 Apr 2025 17:06:59 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] string: Add load_unaligned_zeropad() code path to sized_strscpy()
The call to read_word_at_a_time() in sized_strscpy() is problematic with MTE because it may trigger a tag check fault when reading across a tag granule (16 bytes) boundary. To make this code MTE compatible, let's start using load_unaligned_zeropad() on architectures where it is available (i.e. architectures that define CONFIG_DCACHE_WORD_ACCESS). Because load_unaligned_zeropad() takes care of page boundaries as well as tag granule boundaries, also disable the code preventing crossing page boundaries when using load_unaligned_zeropad().
