On some microarchitectures, clearing PSTATE.TCO is expensive. Clearing TCO is only necessary if in-kernel MTE is enabled, or if MTE is enabled in the userspace process in synchronous (or, soon, asymmetric) mode, because we do not report uaccess faults to userspace in none or asynchronous modes. Therefore, adjust the kernel entry code to clear TCO only if necessary. Because it is now possible to switch to a task in which TCO needs to be clear from a task in which TCO is set, we also need to do the same thing on task switch.

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.
