Hardware tag based KASAN is implemented using the Memory Tagging Extension
(MTE) feature.
MTE is built on top of the ARMv8.0 virtual address tagging TBI
(Top Byte Ignore) feature and allows software to access a 4-bit
allocation tag for each 16-byte granule in the physical address space.
A logical tag is derived from bits 59-56 of the virtual
address used for the memory access. A CPU with MTE enabled will compare
the logical tag against the allocation tag and potentially raise an
tag check fault on mismatch, subject to system registers configuration.
Since ARMv8.9, FEAT_MTE_STORE_ONLY can be used to restrict raise of tag
check fault on store operation only.
Using this feature (FEAT_MTE_STORE_ONLY), introduce KASAN store-only mode
which restricts KASAN check store operation only.
This mode omits KASAN check for fetch/load operation.
Therefore, it might be used not only debugging purpose but also in
normal environment.
