Notes:
v7:
- Binutils gained initial support for MTE in 2.32.0. However, a late
architecture addition (LDGM/STGM) is only supported in the newer
2.32.x and 2.33 versions. Change the AS_HAS_MTE option to also check
for stgm in addition to .arch armv8.5-a+memtag.
v6:
- Remove select ARCH_USES_PG_ARCH_2, no longer defined.
v5:
- Remove duplicate ARMv8.5 menu entry.
v4:
- select ARCH_USES_PG_ARCH_2.
- remove ARCH_NO_SWAP.
- default y.

+ help
+ Memory Tagging (part of the ARMv8.5 Extensions) provides
+ architectural support for run-time, always-on detection of
+ various classes of memory error to aid with software debugging
+ to eliminate vulnerabilities arising from memory-unsafe
+ languages.
+
+ This option enables the support for the Memory Tagging
+ Extension at EL0 (i.e. for userspace).
+
+ Selecting this option allows the feature to be detected at
+ runtime. Any secondary CPU not implementing this feature will
+ not be allowed a late bring-up.
+
+ Userspace binaries that want to use this feature must
+ explicitly opt in. The mechanism for the userspace is
+ described in:
+
+ Documentation/arm64/memory-tagging-extension.rst.
