[PATCH v12 8/8] KVM: arm64: Document MTE capability and ioctl

[Steven Price]

A new capability (KVM_CAP_ARM_MTE) identifies that the kernel supports
granting a guest access to the tags, and provides a mechanism for the
VMM to enable it.

A new ioctl (KVM_ARM_MTE_COPY_TAGS) provides a simple way for a VMM to
access the tags of a guest without having to maintain a PROT_MTE mapping
in userspace. The above capability gates access to the ioctl.

+Copies Memory Tagging Extension (MTE) tags to/from guest tag memory. The
+``guest_ipa`` and ``length`` fields must be ``PAGE_SIZE`` aligned. The ``addr``
+fieldmust point to a buffer which the tags will be copied to or from.
+
+``flags`` specifies the direction of copy, either ``KVM_ARM_TAGS_TO_GUEST`` or
+``KVM_ARM_TAGS_FROM_GUEST``.
+
+The size of the buffer to store the tags is ``(length / MTE_GRANULE_SIZE)``
+bytes (i.e. 1/16th of the corresponding size). Each byte contains a single tag
+value. This matches the format of ``PTRACE_PEEKMTETAGS`` and
+``PTRACE_POKEMTETAGS``.

+--------------------
+
+:Architectures: arm64
+:Parameters: none
+
+This capability indicates that KVM (and the hardware) supports exposing the
+Memory Tagging Extensions (MTE) to the guest. It must also be enabled by the
+VMM before the guest will be granted access.
+
+When enabled the guest is able to access tags associated with any memory given
+to the guest. KVM will ensure that the pages are flagged ``PG_mte_tagged`` so
+that the tags are maintained during swap or hibernation of the host; however
+the VMM needs to manually save/restore the tags as appropriate if the VM is
+migrated.
+
+When enabled the VMM may make use of the ``KVM_ARM_MTE_COPY_TAGS`` ioctl to
+perform a bulk copy of tags to/from the guest.
