Re:First Handset with MTE on the Market by bjackman on Saturday November 04, 2023 @05:58AM (#38139531)
There is some work in this direction on Linux: https://source.android.com/docs/security/test/hwasan

That site still lists 2x CPU overhead. I am fuzzy on details but I believe some variant is in the works that has low enough overhead to enable in the wild. That site also just says it uses TBI so possibly the performant version I am thinking of is just a version that uses full MTE?
