[LLD][ELF][RISCV][Zicfilp] Handle .note.gnu.property sections for Zicfilp/Zicfiss features (#127193) + When all relocatable files contain a `.note.gnu.property` section (with `NT_GNU_PROPERTY_TYPE_0` notes) which contains a `GNU_PROPERTY_RISCV_FEATURE_1_AND` property in which the `GNU_PROPERTY_RISCV_FEATURE_1_CFI_LP_UNLABELED`/`GNU_PROPERTY_RISCV_FEATURE_1_CFI_LP_FUNC_SIG`/`GNU_PROPERTY_RISCV_FEATURE_1_CFI_LP_SS` bit is set: + The output file will contain a `.note.gnu.property` section with the bit set + A `PT_GNU_PROPERTY` program header is created to encompass the `.note.gnu.property` section + If `-z zicfilp-unlabeled-report=[warning|error]`/`-z zicfilp-func-sig-report=[warning|error]`/`-z zicfiss-report=[warning|error]` is specified, the linker will report a warning or error for any relocatable file lacking the feature bit RISC-V Zicfilp/Zicfiss features indicate their adoptions as bits in the `.note.gnu.property` section of ELF files. This patch enables LLD to process the information correctly by parsing, checking and merging the bits from all input ELF files and writing the merged result to the output ELF file. These feature bits are encoded as a mask in each input ELF files and intended to be "and"-ed together to check that all input files support a particular feature. For RISC-V Zicfilp features, there are 2 conflicting bits allocated: `GNU_PROPERTY_RISCV_FEATURE_1_CFI_LP_UNLABELED` and `GNU_PROPERTY_RISCV_FEATURE_1_CFI_LP_FUNC_SIG`. They represent the adoption of the forward edge protection of control-flow integrity with the "unlabeled" or "func-sig" policy. Since these 2 policies conflicts with each other, these 2 bits also conflict with each other. This patch adds the `-z zicfilp-unlabeled-report=[none|warning|error]` and `-z zicfilp-func-sig-report=[none|warning|error]` commandline options to make LLD report files that do not have the expected bits toggled on. For RISC-V Zicfiss feature, there's only one bit allocated: `GNU_PROPERTY_RISCV_FEATURE_1_CFI_SS`. This bit indicates that the ELF file supports Zicfiss-based shadow stack. This patch adds the `-z zicfiss-report=[none|warning|error]` commandline option to make LLD report files that do not have the expected bit toggled on. The adoption of the `.note.gnu.property` section for RISC-V targets can be found in the psABI PR <https://github.com/riscv-non-isa/riscv-elf-psabi-doc/pull/417> (`CFI_LP_UNLABELED` and `CFI_SS`) and PR <https://github.com/riscv-non-isa/riscv-elf-psabi-doc/pull/434> (`CFI_LP_FUNC_SIG`).
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.

The LLVM project has adopted a code of conduct for participants to all modes of communication within the project.
