HWASan and MTE have a nice invariant that helps - functions aren't tagged (phew). IIUC, For HWASan, it seems like you could just use an `_NC` relocation and truncate off the tag bits when materializing a function pointer from the relative vtable. For MTE, taking the address of the vtable would be indirect (as it has to be grabbed from the GOT), and applying the offset would result in a tagged function pointer. Because code pages aren't mapped as `PROT_MTE`, seems like this would succeed (maybe unwinders would have to be taught to truncate any tag bits, but that seems about it). Either way, I don't think we should worry about it right this instant, and any problems would be easily detected during experimentation. Didn't actually realise this was submitted. Appreciate the follow-up patch for non-relative-vtables + hwasan :).
