Subject: [PATCH] elf: Fix the arm64 MTE ELF segment name and value
Date: Mon, 25 Apr 2022 16:18:33 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220425151833.2603830-1-catalin.marinas@arm.com> (raw)
Unfortunately, the name/value choice for the MTE ELF segment type
(PT_ARM_MEMTAG_MTE) was pretty poor: LOPROC+1 is already in use by
PT_AARCH64_UNWIND, as defined in the AArch64 ELF ABI
(https://github.com/ARM-software/abi-aa/blob/main/aaelf64/aaelf64.rst).
Update the ELF segment type value to LOPROC+2 and also change the define
to PT_AARCH64_MEMTAG_MTE to match the AArch64 ELF ABI namespace. The
AArch64 ELF ABI document is updating accordingly (segment type not
previously mentioned in the document).

Luckily, the commit being fixed here only went in for 5.18-rc1, so there is no
ABI change in a mainline release.
FYI, the corresponding pull request for the AArch64 ELF ABI:
https://github.com/ARM-software/abi-aa/pull/148
I don't expect any further change to the segment name/value.
