When MTE is present, the GCR_EL1 register contains the tags mask that allows to exclude tags from the random generation via the IRG instruction. With the introduction of the new Tag-Based KASAN API that provides a mechanism to reserve tags for special reasons, the MTE implementation has to make sure that the GCR_EL1 setting for the kernel does not affect the userspace processes and viceversa. Save and restore the kernel/user mask in GCR_EL1 in kernel entry and exit.

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.
