arm64: mte: Add PROT_MTE support to mmap() and mprotect()
To enable tagging on a memory range, the user must explicitly opt in via
a new PROT_MTE flag passed to mmap() or mprotect(). Since this is a new
memory type in the AttrIndx field of a pte, simplify the or'ing of these
bits over the protection_map[] attributes by making MT_NORMAL index 0.
There are two conditions for arch_vm_get_page_prot() to return the
MT_NORMAL_TAGGED memory type: (1) the user requested it via PROT_MTE,
registered as VM_MTE in the vm_flags, and (2) the vma supports MTE,
decided during the mmap() call (only) and registered as VM_MTE_ALLOWED.
arch_calc_vm_prot_bits() is responsible for registering the user request
as VM_MTE. The newly introduced arch_calc_vm_flag_bits() sets
VM_MTE_ALLOWED if the mapping is MAP_ANONYMOUS. An MTE-capable
filesystem (RAM-based) may be able to set VM_MTE_ALLOWED during its
mmap() file ops call.
In addition, update VM_DATA_DEFAULT_FLAGS to allow mprotect(PROT_MTE) on
stack or brk area.
The Linux mmap() syscall currently ignores unknown PROT_* flags. In the
presence of MTE, an mmap(PROT_MTE) on a file which does not support MTE
will not report an error and the memory will not be mapped as Normal
Tagged. For consistency, mprotect(PROT_MTE) will not report an error
either if the memory range does not support MTE. Two subsequent patches
in the series will propose tightening of this behaviour.
