+// MTE globals protects internal and external global variables. One of the main
+// things that MTE globals does is force all global variable accesses to go
+// through the GOT. In the linker though, some global variables are accessed (or
+// address-taken) prior to relocations being processed. Because relocations
+// haven't run yet, the GOT entry hasn't been populated, and this leads to
+// crashes. Thus, any globals used by the linker prior to relocation should be
+// annotated with this attribute, which suppresses tagging of this global
+// variable, restoring the pc-relative address computation.
+//
+// A way to find global variables that need this attribute is to build the
+// linker/libc with `SANITIZE_TARGET=memtag_globals`, push them onto a device
+// (it doesn't have to be MTE capable), and then run an executable using
+// LD_LIBRARY_PATH and using the linker in interpreter mode (e.g.
+// `LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/data/tmp/ /data/tmp/linker64 /data/tmp/my_binary`). A
+// good heuristic is that the global variable is in a file that should be
+// compiled with `-ffreestanding` (but there are global variables there that
+// don't need this attribute).
