Architectures that support address tagging, such as arm64, may want to expose fault address tag bits to the signal handler to help diagnose memory errors. However, these bits have not been previously set, and their presence may confuse unaware user applications. Therefore, introduce a SA_EXPOSE_TAGBITS flag bit in sa_flags that a signal handler may use to explicitly request that the bits are set. The generic signal handler APIs expect to receive tagged addresses. Architectures may specify how to untag addresses in the case where SA_EXPOSE_TAGBITS is clear by defining the arch_untagged_si_addr function.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
