All interpretation of userspace memory addresses by the kernel assumes an address tag of 0x00. This includes, but is not limited to, addresses found in: - pointer arguments to system calls, including pointers in structures passed to system calls, - the stack pointer (sp), e.g. when interpreting it to deliver a signal, - the frame pointer (x29) and frame records, e.g. when interpreting them to generate a backtrace or call graph. Using non-zero address tags in any of these locations may result in an error code being returned, a (fatal) signal being raised, or other modes of failure. For these reasons, passing non-zero address tags to the kernel via system calls is forbidden, and using a non-zero address tag for sp is strongly discouraged.
