To check whether the CPU and kernel support the MTE features we want to test, we use an (emulated) CPU ID register read. However we only check against a very particular feature version (0b0010), even though the ARM ARM promises ID register features to be backwards compatible. While this could be fixed by using ">=" instead of "==", we should actually use the explicit HWCAP2_MTE hardware capability, exposed by the kernel via the ELF auxiliary vectors. That moves this responsibility to the kernel, and fixes running the tests on machines with FEAT_MTE3 capability.

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.
