Once user space is given access to tagged memory, the kernel must be able to clear/save/restore tags visible to the user. This is done via the linear mapping, therefore map it as such. The new MT_NORMAL_TAGGED index for MAIR_EL1 is initially mapped as Normal memory and later changed to Normal Tagged via the cpufeature infrastructure. From a mismatched attribute aliases perspective, the Tagged memory is considered a permission and it won't lead to undefined behaviour.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
