[Hexagon] Add probe-stack=inline-asm support for stack clash protection (#190568) Large stack allocations can skip over guard pages, causing stack clash vulnerabilities. The probe-stack=inline-asm function attribute tells LLVM to emit inline probing code that touches each page during stack allocation, ensuring guard pages are hit. `framelimit` provides hardware bounds checking, but only on the allocframe instruction itself. SP decrements via A2_addi -- used for frames >= 16k bytes and all no-FP prologues bypass it. Software probing closes that gap. When the attribute is present and the frame size exceeds the probe size, the prologue now emits a PS_probed_stackalloc pseudo that inlineStackProbe() expands into a compare-and-branch loop: r29 = add(r29, #-ProbeSize) memw(r29+#0) = #0 p0 = cmp.gtu(r29, r28) if (p0) jump LoopMBB r29 = r28 Both the frame-pointer and no-frame-pointer prologue paths are handled. The stack-probe-size attribute is respected for custom probe sizes.
Welcome to the LLVM project!
This repository contains the source code for LLVM, a toolkit for the construction of highly optimized compilers, optimizers, and run-time environments.
The LLVM project has multiple components. The core of the project is itself called “LLVM”. This contains all of the tools, libraries, and header files needed to process intermediate representations and convert them into object files. Tools include an assembler, disassembler, bitcode analyzer, and bitcode optimizer.
C-like languages use the Clang frontend. This component compiles C, C++, Objective-C, and Objective-C++ code into LLVM bitcode -- and from there into object files, using LLVM.
Other components include: the libc++ C++ standard library, the LLD linker, and more.
Consult the Getting Started with LLVM page for information on building and running LLVM.
