PAC/BTI-related codegen in the AArch64 backend is controlled by a set
of LLVM IR function attributes, added to the function by Clang, based
on command-line options and GCC-style function attributes. However,
functions, generated in the LLVM middle end (for example,
asan.module.ctor or __llvm_gcov_write_out) do not get any attributes
and the backend incorrectly does not do any PAC/BTI code generation.
This patch record the default state of PAC/BTI codegen in a set of
LLVM IR module-level attributes, based on command-line options:
* "sign-return-address", with non-zero value means generate code to
sign return addresses (PAC-RET), zero value means disable PAC-RET.
* "sign-return-address-all", with non-zero value means enable PAC-RET
for all functions, zero value means enable PAC-RET only for
functions, which spill LR.
* "sign-return-address-with-bkey", with non-zero value means use B-key
for signing, zero value mean use A-key.
This set of attributes are always added for AArch64 targets (as
opposed, for example, to interpreting a missing attribute as having a
value 0) in order to be able to check for conflicts when combining
module attributed during LTO.
Module-level attributes are overridden by function level attributes.
All the decision making about whether to not to generate PAC and/or
BTI code is factored out into AArch64FunctionInfo, there shouldn't be
any places left, other than AArch64FunctionInfo, which directly
examine PAC/BTI attributes, except AArch64AsmPrinter.cpp, which
is/will-be handled by a separate patch.
Differential Revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D85649
- Add a command line options -msign-return-address to enable return address
signing
- Armv8.3a added instructions to sign the return address to help mitigate
against ROP attacks
- This patch adds command line options to generate function attributes that
signal to the back whether return address signing instructions should be
added
