Subject: [PATCH] mte: Initialize tag storage to KASAN_TAG_INVALID
Date:   Tue,  7 Jun 2022 12:31:50 +0100

When the kernel is entered on aarch64, the MTE allocation tags are in an
UNKNOWN state.

With MTE enabled, the tags are initialized:
 - When a page is allocated and the user maps it with PROT_MTE.
 - On allocation, with in-kernel MTE enabled (KHWASAN).

If the tag pool is zeroed by the hardware at reset, it makes it
difficult to track potential places where the initialization of the
tags was missed.

This can be observed under QEMU for aarch64, which initializes the MTE
allocation tags to zero.

Initialize to tag storage to KASAN_TAG_INVALID to catch potential
places where the initialization of the tags was missed.

This is done introducing a new kernel command line parameter
"mte.tags_init" that enables the debug option.

Note: The proposed solution should be considered a debug option because
it might have performance impact on large machines at boot.
