Whenever a memory tag violation occurs, we get a SIGSEGV. Additional
information can be obtained through the siginfo data structure.
For AArch64 the Linux kernel may expose the fault address and tag
information, if we have a synchronous event. Otherwise there is
no fault address available.
The synchronous event looks like this:
--
(gdb) continue
Continuing.
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault
Memory tag violation while accessing address 0x0500fffff7ff8000
Allocation tag 0x1.
Logical tag 0x5
--
The asynchronous event looks like this:
--
(gdb) continue
Continuing.
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault
Memory tag violation
Fault address unavailable.
