In the next patch, we will start reading sctlr_user from mte_update_sctlr_user and subsequently writing a new value based on the task's TCF setting and potentially the per-CPU TCF preference. This means that we need to be careful to disable preemption around any code sequences that read from sctlr_user and subsequently write to sctlr_user and/or SCTLR_EL1, so that we don't end up writing a stale value (based on the previous CPU's TCF preference) to either of them. We currently have four such sequences, in the prctl handlers for PR_SET_TAGGED_ADDR_CTRL and PR_PAC_SET_ENABLED_KEYS, as well as in the task initialization code that resets the prctl settings. Change the prctl handlers to disable preemption in the handlers themselves rather than the functions that they call, and change the task initialization code to call the respective prctl handlers instead of setting sctlr_user directly. As a result of this change, we no longer need the helper function set_task_sctlr_el1, nor does its behavior make sense any more, so remove it.

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.
