Subject: [PATCH 4.4 84/90] arm64: hw_breakpoint: fix watchpoint matching for tagged pointers

4.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Kristina Martsenko <kristina.martsenko@....com>

commit 7dcd9dd8cebe9fa626af7e2358d03a37041a70fb upstream.

This backport has a few small differences from the upstream commit:
 - The address tag is removed in watchpoint_handler() instead of
   get_distance_from_watchpoint(), because 4.4 does not have commit
   fdfeff0f9e3d ("arm64: hw_breakpoint: Handle inexact watchpoint
   addresses").
 - A macro is backported (untagged_addr), as it is not present in 4.4.

Original patch description:

When we take a watchpoint exception, the address that triggered the
watchpoint is found in FAR_EL1. We compare it to the address of each
configured watchpoint to see which one was hit.

The configured watchpoint addresses are untagged, while the address in
FAR_EL1 will have an address tag if the data access was done using a
tagged address. The tag needs to be removed to compare the address to
the watchpoints.

Currently we don't remove it, and as a result can report the wrong
watchpoint as being hit (specifically, always either the highest TTBR0
watchpoint or lowest TTBR1 watchpoint). This patch removes the tag.

Fixes: d50240a5f6ce ("arm64: mm: permit use of tagged pointers at EL0")
