[PATCH v3 00/23] arm64: Memory Tagging Extension user-space support

Hi,

This is the third version (second version here [1]) of the series
adding user-space support for the ARMv8.5 Memory Tagging Extension ([2],
[3]). The patches are also available on this branch:

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm64/linux devel/mte-v3

Changes in this version:

- Ignore asynchronous tag check faults caused by the kernel accessing
user space (uaccess routines). One of the reasons is that the kernel
has a few places where it over-reads the user buffer
(copy_mount_options(), strncpy_from user()) causing an incorrect
reporting of a tag check fault. The second reason is that such
asynchronous tag check fault in uaccess was reported as a SIGSEGV
while the uaccess synchronous faults usually cause an error being
returned (-EFAULT).

- Device Tree support for marking a memory node as MTE-capable. MTE will
only be enabled if all the memory nodes support the feature. In the
absence of any memory node in the DT or if the system is booted with
ACPI, MTE will be disabled.

- ptrace() support to access the tags in another process address space.
See the documentation patch for details.

- fs patch for copy_mount_options() to cope with in-page faults. Prior
to 5.7, this function had a byte-by-byte fallback. It has since been
updated so that a fault in the first page would lead to the copy being
aborted altogether.

- GCR_EL1 restoring after a CPU suspend.

- Fix the pgattr_change_is_safe() to only allow changes between Normal
and Normal-Tagged.

- Update a BUILD_BUG on x86 for NSIGSEGV != 7 following the generic
value update.

- Rebased to 5.7-rc2.

Swap support is available but not included with this series as we'd like
some feedback from linux-mm folk on the right approach. To be posted
shortly.

Kselftest patches will also be made available soon.

To be decided/implemented:

- mmap(tagged_addr, PROT_MTE) pre-tagging the memory with the tag given
in the tagged_addr hint.

- coredump (user) to also dump the tags.
