- It turns out that the optimised string routines merged in 5.14 are not
safe with in-kernel MTE (KASAN_HW_TAGS) because of reading beyond the
end of a string (strcmp, strncmp). Such reading may go across a 16
byte tag granule and cause a tag check fault. When KASAN_HW_TAGS is
enabled, use the generic strcmp/strncmp C implementation.
- An errata workaround for ThunderX relied on the CPU capabilities being
enabled in a specific order. This disappeared with the automatic
generation of the cpucaps.h file (sorted alphabetically). Fix it by
checking the current CPU only rather than the system-wide capability.
- Add system_supports_mte() checks on the kernel entry/exit path and
thread switching to avoid unnecessary barriers and function calls on
systems where MTE is not supported.
- kselftests: skip arm64 tests if the required features are missing.

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 Restructured Text 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.
