+Subject: [PATCH 01/11] malloc: Fix a potential realloc issue with memory
+ tagging
+
+At an _int_free call site in realloc the wrong size was used for tag
+clearing: the chunk header of the next chunk was also cleared which
+in practice may work, but logically wrong.
+
+The tag clearing is moved before the memcpy to save a tag computation,
+this avoids a chunk2mem.  Another chunk2mem is removed because newmem
+does not have to be recomputed. Whitespaces got fixed too.

+
+The chunk cannot be a dumped one here.  The only non-obvious cases
+are free and realloc which may be called on a dumped area chunk,
+but in both cases it can be verified that tagging is already
+avoided for dumped area chunks.

+Subject: [PATCH 04/11] malloc: Avoid taggig mmaped memory on free
+
+Either the memory belongs to the dumped area, in which case we don't
+want to tag (the dumped area has the same tag as malloc internal data
+so tagging is unnecessary, but chunks there may not have the right
+alignment for the tag granule), or the memory will be unmapped
+immediately (and thus tagging is not useful).

+Subject: [PATCH 05/11] malloc: Refactor TAG_ macros to avoid indirection
+
+This does not change behaviour, just removes one layer of indirection
+in the internal memory tagging logic.
+
+Use tag_ and mtag_ prefixes instead of __tag_ and __mtag_ since these
+are all symbols with internal linkage, private to malloc.c, so there
+is no user namespace pollution issue.

+Subject: [PATCH 06/11] malloc: Use global flag instead of function pointer
+ dispatch for mtag
+
+A flag check can be faster than function pointers because of how
+branch prediction and speculation works and it can also remove a layer
+of indirection when there is a mismatch between the malloc internal
+tag_* api and __libc_mtag_* target hooks.
+
+Memory tagging wrapper functions are moved to malloc.c from arena.c and
+the logic now checks mmap_enabled.  The definition of tag_new_usable is
+moved after chunk related definitions.
+
+This refactoring also allows using mtag_enabled checks instead of
+USE_MTAG ifdefs when memory tagging support only changes code logic
+when memory tagging is enabled at runtime. Note: an "if (false)" code
+block is optimized away even at -O0 by gcc.

+Subject: [PATCH 07/11] malloc: Ensure the generic mtag hooks are not used
+
+Use inline functions instead of macros, because macros can cause unused
+variable warnings and type conversion issues.  We assume these functions
+may appear in the code but only in dead code paths (hidden by a runtime
+check), so it's important that they can compile with correct types, but
+if they are actually used that should be an error.
+
+Currently the hooks are only used when USE_MTAG is true which only
+happens on aarch64 and then the aarch64 specific code is used not this
+generic header.  However followup refactoring will allow the hooks to
+be used with !USE_MTAG.
+
+Note: the const qualifier in the comment was wrong: changing tags is a
+write operation.

+Subject: [PATCH 08/11] malloc: Only support zeroing and not arbitrary memset
+ with mtag
+
+The memset api is suboptimal and does not provide much benefit. Memory
+tagging only needs a zeroing memset (and only for memory that's sized
+and aligned to multiples of the tag granule), so change the internal
+api and the target hooks accordingly.  This is to simplify the
+implementation of the target hook.

+Subject: [PATCH 09/11] malloc: Change calloc when tagging is disabled
+
+When glibc is built with memory tagging support (USE_MTAG) but it is not
+enabled at runtime (mtag_enabled) then unconditional memset was used
+even though that can be often avoided.
+
+This is for performance when tagging is supported but not enabled.
+The extra check should have no overhead: tag_new_zero_region already
+had a runtime check which the compiler can now optimize away.

+Subject: [PATCH 10/11] malloc: Use branches instead of mtag_granule_mask
+
+The branches may be better optimized since mtag_enabled is widely used.
+
+Granule size larger than a chunk header is not supported since then we
+cannot have both the chunk header and user area granule aligned.  To
+fix that for targets with large granule, the chunk layout has to change.
+
+So code that attempted to handle the granule mask generally was changed.
+This simplified CHUNK_AVAILABLE_SIZE and the logic in malloc_usable_size.

+Subject: [PATCH 11/11] malloc: Use mtag_enabled instead of USE_MTAG
+
+Use the runtime check where possible: it should not cause slow down in
+the !USE_MTAG case since then mtag_enabled is constant false, but it
+allows compiling the tagging logic so it's less likely to break or
+diverge when developers only test the !USE_MTAG case.
