This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled kselftest/arm64: mte: Fix MTE feature detection to the 5.12-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: kselftest-arm64-mte-fix-mte-feature-detection.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.12 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 2622b2646ddddae2a951ba38d311a40da8916970 Author: Andre Przywara <andre.przywara@xxxxxxx> Date: Fri Mar 19 16:53:29 2021 +0000 kselftest/arm64: mte: Fix MTE feature detection [ Upstream commit 592432862cc4019075a7196d9961562c49507d6f ] To check whether the CPU and kernel support the MTE features we want to test, we use an (emulated) CPU ID register read. However we only check against a very particular feature version (0b0010), even though the ARM ARM promises ID register features to be backwards compatible. While this could be fixed by using ">=" instead of "==", we should actually use the explicit HWCAP2_MTE hardware capability, exposed by the kernel via the ELF auxiliary vectors. That moves this responsibility to the kernel, and fixes running the tests on machines with FEAT_MTE3 capability.
