PROT_MTE (memory tagging extensions) is not supported on all user mmap()
types for various reasons (memory attributes, backing storage, CoW
handling). The arm64 arch_validate_flags() function checks whether the
VM_MTE_ALLOWED flag has been set for a vma during mmap(), usually by
arch_calc_vm_flag_bits().
Linux prior to 6.13 does not support PROT_MTE hugetlb mappings. This was
added by commit 25c17c4b55de ("hugetlb: arm64: add mte support").
However, earlier kernels inadvertently set VM_MTE_ALLOWED on
(MAP_ANONYMOUS | MAP_HUGETLB) mappings by only checking for
MAP_ANONYMOUS.
Explicitly check MAP_HUGETLB in arch_calc_vm_flag_bits() and avoid
setting VM_MTE_ALLOWED for such mappings.

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.
