Pages allocated by the kernel are not guaranteed to have the tags zeroed, especially as the kernel does not (yet) use MTE itself. To ensure the user can still access such pages when mapped into its address space, clear the tags via set_pte_at(). A new page flag - PG_mte_tagged (PG_arch_2) - is used to track pages with valid allocation tags. Since the zero page is mapped as pte_special(), it won't be covered by the above set_pte_at() mechanism. Clear its tags during early MTE initialisation.

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.
