Hi,

This patch series allows VMMs to use shared mappings in MTE enabled
guests. The first four patches are based on the series that Catalin sent
out, whose cover letter [1] I quote from below:

> This series aims to fix the races between initialising the tags on a
> page and setting the PG_mte_tagged flag. Currently the flag is set
> either before or after that tag initialisation and this can lead to CoW
> copying stale tags. The first patch moves the flag setting after the
> tags have been initialised, solving the CoW issue. However, concurrent
> mprotect() on a shared mapping may (very rarely) lead to valid tags
> being zeroed.
>
> The second skips the sanitise_mte_tags() call in kvm_set_spte_gfn(),
> deferring it to user_mem_abort(). The outcome is that no
> sanitise_mte_tags() can be simplified to skip the pfn_to_online_page()
> check and only rely on VM_MTE_ALLOWED vma flag that can be checked in
> user_mem_abort().
>
> The third and fourth patches use PG_arch_3 as a lock for page tagging,
> based on Peter Collingbourne's idea of a two-bit lock.
>
> I think the first patch can be queued but the rest needs some in depth
> review and test. With this series (if correct) we could allos MAP_SHARED
> on KVM guest memory but this is to be discussed separately as there are
> some KVM ABI implications.

I rebased Catalin's series onto -next, addressed the issues that I
identified in the review and added the proposed userspace enablement
patches after the series.
