larger address space (48-bit instead of 39-bit) with
significantly higher entropy Address Space Layout
Randomization (33-bit instead of 24-bit).</li>
<li>Basic hardware memory tagging is used in the main kernel
memory allocators (slab, page_alloc, non-executable vmalloc) to
provide probabilistic detection of all use-after-free and
inter-object overflows along with deterministic detection of
use-after-free until the memory is allocated again (we plan to
add deterministic detection of small/linear overflows like
hardened_malloc)</li>
<li>Random canaries with a leading zero are added to the
kernel heap (slub) to block C string overflows, absorb small
overflows and detect linear overflows or other heap corruption
