[PATCH v2 2/3] arm64/mm/fault: use original FAR_EL1 value when ARM64_MTE_FAR is supported

From: Yeoreum Yun
Date: Thu Apr 03 2025 - 13:29:18 EST


Use the original FAR_EL1 value when an MTE tag check fault occurs,
if ARM64_MTE_FAR is supported.
This allows reports to include not only the logical tag (memory tag)
but also the address tag information.

Applications that require this information should install a signal handler with
the SA_EXPOSE_TAGBITS flag.
While this introduces a minor ABI change,
most applications do not set this flag and therefore will not be affected.
