This series implements the asymmetric mode support for ARMv8.7-A Memory
Tagging Extension (MTE), which is a debugging feature that allows to
detect with the help of the architecture the C and C++ programmatic
memory errors like buffer overflow, use-after-free, use-after-return, etc.
Unless I'm missing something, it looks like this only includes KASAN
support and not userspace support. Is userspace support coming in a
separate patch?

The fact that this only includes KASAN support should probably be in
the commit messages as well.
Good catch, I forgot to mention that this series is meant only for in-kernel
support. I will update the cover in the next iteration.

Thanks!
Peter
