Since e71e2ace5721("userfaultfd: do not untag user pointers") which
introduced a warning:
linux/Documentation/arm64/tagged-address-abi.rst:52: WARNING: Unexpected indentation.
Let's fix it.

Patch series "userfaultfd: do not untag user pointers", v5.
If a user program uses userfaultfd on ranges of heap memory, it may end
up passing a tagged pointer to the kernel in the range.start field of
the UFFDIO_REGISTER ioctl. This can happen when using an MTE-capable
allocator, or on Android if using the Tagged Pointers feature for MTE
readiness [1].
When a fault subsequently occurs, the tag is stripped from the fault
address returned to the application in the fault.address field of struct
uffd_msg. However, from the application's perspective, the tagged
address *is* the memory address, so if the application is unaware of
memory tags, it may get confused by receiving an address that is, from
its point of view, outside of the bounds of the allocation. We observed
this behavior in the kselftest for userfaultfd [2] but other
applications could have the same problem.
Address this by not untagging pointers passed to the userfaultfd ioctls.
Instead, let the system call fail. Also change the kselftest to use
mmap so that it doesn't encounter this problem.

This patch (of 2):
Do not untag pointers passed to the userfaultfd ioctls. Instead, let
the system call fail. This will provide an early indication of problems
with tag-unaware userspace code instead of letting the code get confused
later, and is consistent with how we decided to handle brk/mmap/mremap
in commit dcde237319e6 ("mm: Avoid creating virtual address aliases in
brk()/mmap()/mremap()"), as well as being consistent with the existing
tagged address ABI documentation relating to how ioctl arguments are
handled.
The code change is a revert of commit 7d0325749a6c ("userfaultfd: untag
user pointers") plus some fixups to some additional calls to
validate_range that have appeared since then.

Prior to commit dcde237319e6 ("mm: Avoid creating virtual address
aliases in brk()/mmap()/mremap()"), the kernel allowed tagged addresses
to be passed to the brk/mmap/mremap() syscalls. This relaxation was
tightened in 5.6 (backported to stable 5.4) but the
tagged-address-abi.rst document was only partially updated.

Currently the arm64 kernel ignores the top address byte passed to brk(),
mmap() and mremap(). When the user is not aware of the 56-bit address
limit or relies on the kernel to return an error, untagging such
pointers has the potential to create address aliases in user-space.
Passing a tagged address to munmap(), madvise() is permitted since the
tagged pointer is expected to be inside an existing mapping.
The current behaviour breaks the existing glibc malloc() implementation
which relies on brk() with an address beyond 56-bit to be rejected by
the kernel.
Remove untagging in the above functions by partially reverting commit
ce18d171cb73 ("mm: untag user pointers in mmap/munmap/mremap/brk"). In
addition, update the arm64 tagged-address-abi.rst document accordingly.

On AArch64 the TCR_EL1.TBI0 bit is set by default, allowing userspace
(EL0) to perform memory accesses through 64-bit pointers with a non-zero
top byte. Introduce the document describing the relaxation of the
syscall ABI that allows userspace to pass certain tagged pointers to
kernel syscalls.
