To enable tagging on a memory range, the user must explicitly opt in via a new PROT_MTE flag passed to mmap() or mprotect(). Since this is a new memory type in the AttrIndx field of a pte, simplify the or'ing of these bits over the protection_map[] attributes by making MT_NORMAL index 0. There are two conditions for arch_vm_get_page_prot() to return the MT_NORMAL_TAGGED memory type: (1) the user requested it via PROT_MTE, registered as VM_MTE in the vm_flags, and (2) the vma supports MTE, decided during the mmap() call (only) and registered as VM_MTE_ALLOWED. arch_calc_vm_prot_bits() is responsible for registering the user request as VM_MTE. The newly introduced arch_calc_vm_flag_bits() sets VM_MTE_ALLOWED if the mapping is MAP_ANONYMOUS. An MTE-capable filesystem (RAM-based) may be able to set VM_MTE_ALLOWED during its mmap() file ops call. In addition, update VM_DATA_DEFAULT_FLAGS to allow mprotect(PROT_MTE) on stack or brk area. The Linux mmap() syscall currently ignores unknown PROT_* flags. In the presence of MTE, an mmap(PROT_MTE) on a file which does not support MTE will not report an error and the memory will not be mapped as Normal Tagged. For consistency, mprotect(PROT_MTE) will not report an error either if the memory range does not support MTE. Two subsequent patches in the series will propose tightening of this behaviour.
