    kselftest/arm64: Verify that TCO is enabled in load_unaligned_zeropad() · 15bfd167
    Vincenzo Frascino authored
    load_unaligned_zeropad() and __get/put_kernel_nofault() functions can
    read passed some buffer limits which may include some MTE granule with a
    different tag.
    
    When MTE async mode is enable, the load operation crosses the boundaries
    and the next granule has a different tag the PE sets the TFSR_EL1.TF1
    bit as if an asynchronous tag fault is happened:

     BUG: KASAN: invalid-access

    Verify that Tag Check Override (TCO) is enabled in these functions before
    the load and disable it afterwards to prevent this to happen.
    
    Note: The issue has been observed only with an MTE enabled userspace.
