The entry from EL0 code checks the TFSRE0_EL1 register for any
asynchronous tag check faults in user space and sets the
TIF_MTE_ASYNC_FAULT flag. This is not done atomically, potentially
racing with another CPU calling set_tsk_thread_flag().
Replace the non-atomic ORR+STR with an STSET instruction. While STSET
requires ARMv8.1 and an assembler that understands LSE atomics, the MTE
feature is part of ARMv8.5 and already requires an updated assembler.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
