Although an ISB is required in order to make the MTE-related system
register update to GCR_EL1 effective, and the same is true for
PAC-related updates to SCTLR_EL1 or APIAKey{Hi,Lo}_EL1, we issue two
ISBs on machines that support both features while we only need to
issue one. To avoid the unnecessary additional ISB, remove the ISBs
from the PAC and MTE-specific alternative blocks and add a couple
of additional blocks that cause us to only execute one ISB if both
features are supported.

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.
