The MTE prctl test emits one result from check_basic_read() followed by
one result for each of the seven entries in mte_modes[]. However, the TAP
plan only accounts for the array entries, producing:

  # Planned tests != run tests (7 != 8)

Include the basic read check in the plan so that all eight emitted results
are declared.

<title>selftests/arm64: Treat KSM merge_across_nodes as optional</title>

<id>1a0dba077f34a2f8faa98308d30d4b546d073145</id>
<content type='text'>
The MTE KSM test requires write access to KSM sysfs but does not check
that it is running as root. It also unconditionally saves, enables and
restores the merge_across_nodes attribute. The kernel only creates this
attribute when CONFIG_NUMA=y, so a non-NUMA kernel prints the following
message three times even though every KSM subtest passes:

  # ERR: missing /sys/kernel/mm/ksm/merge_across_nodes

Skip the test when it is not running as root. Check that the optional
attribute is readable and writable, treating ENOENT as its expected
absence on non-NUMA kernels and skipping the test for other access
failures. Only save, enable and restore the attribute when it is
available.

Check MTE availability before the privilege and sysfs checks so systems
without MTE retain the existing feature-unavailable skip result.

This preserves the existing behavior on NUMA kernels without requiring
NUMA or reducing KSM coverage on single-node systems.

<title>selftests/arm64: Print missing MTE TAP headers</title>

<id>8d2237e9d6902e234bb89aabb9cd6a9e91357223</id>
<content type='text'>
Most MTE tests set a TAP plan and emit results without first printing
the TAP version header. Direct execution therefore starts with a plan
such as "1..20" instead of "TAP version 13".

The problem is particularly visible in the GCR_EL1 context-switch test.
It prints its plan before forking 1,024 child processes. When stdout is
fully buffered, the plan remains in the stdio buffer. Each child inherits
the pending "1..1" line and flushes its copy from exit(), producing
repeated plan lines.

ksft_print_header() prints the TAP header and enables line buffering.
Call it in every MTE test that is missing it. In the GCR_EL1 test, call
it before the plan so the plan is flushed before the children are
forked. In the remaining tests, call it before setup and prerequisite
checks so early failures and whole-test skips also retain the header.

<title>kselftest/arm4: Provide local defines for AT_HWCAP3</title>

Some build environments for the selftests are not picking up the newly
added AT_HWCAP3 when using the libc headers, even with headers_install
(which we require already for the arm64 selftests).  As a quick fix add
local definitions of the constant to tools use it, while auxvec.h is
installed with some toolchains it needs some persuasion to get picked up.

Since ARMv8.9, FEAT_MTE_STORE_ONLY can be used to restrict raise of tag
check fault on store operation only.

Adds new test cases using MTE_STORE_ONLY feature.

This patch is preparation for testing FEAT_MTE_STORE_ONLY
It shouldn't change test result.

If FEAT_MTE_TAGGED_FAR (Armv8.9) is supported, bits 63:60 of the fault address
are preserved in response to synchronous tag check faults (SEGV_MTESERR).

This patch adds new test cases using address tags (bits 63:60),
corresponding to each existing test in check_mmap_option.
