Provide helper functions to manipulate allocation and pointer tags for kernel addresses. Low-level helper functions (mte_assign_*, written in assembly) operate tag values from the [0x0, 0xF] range. High-level helper functions (mte_get/set_*) use the [0xF0, 0xFF] range to preserve compatibility with normal kernel pointers that have 0xFF in their top byte. MTE_GRANULE_SIZE and related definitions are moved to mte-def.h header that doesn't have any dependencies and is safe to include into any low-level header.

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.
