Merge tag 'arm64-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm64/linux

Pull arm64 fixes from Catalin Marinas:

 - It turns out that the optimised string routines merged in 5.14 are
   not safe with in-kernel MTE (KASAN_HW_TAGS) because of reading beyond
   the end of a string (strcmp, strncmp). Such reading may go across a
   16 byte tag granule and cause a tag check fault. When KASAN_HW_TAGS
   is enabled, use the generic strcmp/strncmp C implementation.

 - An errata workaround for ThunderX relied on the CPU capabilities
   being enabled in a specific order. This disappeared with the
   automatic generation of the cpucaps.h file (sorted alphabetically).
   Fix it by checking the current CPU only rather than the system-wide
   capability.

 - Add system_supports_mte() checks on the kernel entry/exit path and
   thread switching to avoid unnecessary barriers and function calls on
   systems where MTE is not supported.

 - kselftests: skip arm64 tests if the required features are missing.
