Hm. Ampere1a should have MTE as well.
Ampere1a should have MTE as well.
Isn't that an ARMv9 feature?
https://community.amperecomputing.com/t/weekend-read-memory-tagging-in-ampere-one/963 shows that MTE is present.
mte:

Yup I’ve seen this and I’m working on it right now. Trying to figure out why FEAT_MTE isn’t showing up.

Maybe related to CONFIG_ARM64_MTE
not set appropriately in default Ubuntu kernel config?
I’d hope it doesn’t need that and instead just reports the features the CPU supports.
It looks like MTE (and other features) are disabled by default in the firmware, and you may need access to Customer Connect in order to get the documentation to enable them.
@geerlingguy ;D
@bexcran what is Customer Connect? Is that through Supermicro, or Ampere?
@geerlingguy It's Ampere's customer portal: https://amperecomputing.com/customer-connect which gives access to downloads and documentation which is under an NDA.
