Subject[PATCH 5.17 059/158] arm64: mte: Ensure the cleared tags are visible before setting the PTE
Date
From: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com>

commit 1d0cb4c8864addc362bae98e8ffa5500c87e1227 upstream.

As an optimisation, only pages mapped with PROT_MTE in user space have
the MTE tags zeroed. This is done lazily at the set_pte_at() time via
mte_sync_tags(). However, this function is missing a barrier and another
CPU may see the PTE updated before the zeroed tags are visible. Add an
smp_wmb() barrier if the mapping is Normal Tagged.
