Reid Kleckner fd52096259 [LLD] Implement /guard:[no]longjmp
Summary:
This protects calls to longjmp from transferring control to arbitrary
program points. Instead, longjmp calls are limited to the set of
registered setjmp return addresses.

This also implements /guard:nolongjmp to allow users to link in object
files that call setjmp that weren't compiled with /guard:cf. In this
case, the linker will approximate the set of address taken functions,
but it will leave longjmp unprotected.

I used the following program to test, compiling it with different -guard
flags:
  $ cl -c t.c -guard:cf
  $ lld-link t.obj -guard:cf

  #include <setjmp.h>
  #include <stdio.h>
  jmp_buf buf;
  void g() {
    printf("before longjmp\n");
    fflush(stdout);
    longjmp(buf, 1);
  }
  void f() {
    if (setjmp(buf)) {
      printf("setjmp returned non-zero\n");
      return;
    }
    g();
  }
  int main() {
    f();
    printf("hello world\n");
  }

In particular, the program aborts when the code is compiled *without*
-guard:cf and linked with -guard:cf. That indicates that longjmps are
protected.
