[PATCH v5 00/25] arm64: Memory Tagging Extension user-space support

This is the 5th version (4th 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-v5

There are no user ABI changes from v4 and I do not anticipate further
updates affecting the ABI. Subsequent ABI improvements, if needed, will
be done in a backwards-compatible manner. The glibc counterpart is also
under discussion [4].

My plan is to push these patches into linux-next for wider coverage,
with an aim for merging into 5.9 unless major reworking is needed. I
would be grateful if mm folks review/ack/nak those patches touching mm/
(and, of course, any other patch in this series, feedback always
welcomed). Thank you.

Changes in this version:

- Removed the Device Tree memory node description requirement after
  agreement with the hardware architects that the CPUID should reflect
  the features supported by the general purpose memory.

- Dropped the command line argument to disable MTE at boot in the
  absence of a strong argument in its favour.

- Fixed handling of compound pages (inadvertently clearing valid tags in
  previously mapped small pages).

- Some reworking of the copy_{user,}highpage() functions.

- Rebased to 5.8-rc2
