Linux kernel source tree
7f1c3de137
When the prctl() interface for pointer masking was added, it did not
check that the pointer masking ISA extension was supported, only the
individual submodes. Userspace could still attempt to disable pointer
masking and query the pointer masking state. commit 81de1afb2dd1
("riscv: Fix kernel crash due to PR_SET_TAGGED_ADDR_CTRL") disallowed
the former, as the senvcfg write could crash on older systems.
PR_GET_TAGGED_ADDR_CTRL state does not crash, because it reads only
kernel-internal state and not senvcfg, but it should still be disallowed
for consistency.

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 reStructuredText 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.
