Hi,

This series is an update to the arm64 tagged address ABI documentation
patches v8, posted here:

http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20190815154403.16473-1-catalin.m...

From v8, I dropped patches 2 and 3 as they've been queued by Will via
the arm64 tree. Reposting patch 1 (unmodified) as it should be merged
via the mm tree.

Changes in v9:

- Replaced the emphasized/bold font with a typewriter one for
  function/constant names

- Simplified the mmap/brk bullet points when describing the tagged
  pointer origin

- Reworded expected syscall behaviour with valid tagged pointers

- Reworded the prctl/ioctl restrictions to clarify the allowed tagged
  pointers w.r.t. user data access by the kernel
