[x64][win] Add compiler support for x64 import call optimization (equivalent to MSVC /d2guardretpoline) (#126631) This is the x64 equivalent of #121516 Since import call optimization was originally [added to x64 Windows to implement a more efficient retpoline mitigation](https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/blog/windowsosplatform/mitigating-spectre-variant-2-with-retpoline-on-windows/295618) the section and constant names relating to this all mention "retpoline" and we need to mark indirect calls, control-flow guard calls and jumps for jump tables in the section alongside calls to imported functions. As with the AArch64 feature, this emits a new section into the obj which is used by the MSVC linker to generate the Dynamic Value Relocation Table and the section itself does not appear in the final binary. The Windows Loader requires a specific sequence of instructions be emitted when this feature is enabled: * Indirect calls/jumps must have the function pointer to jump to in `rax`. * Calls to imported functions must use the `rex` prefix and be followed by a 5-byte nop. * Indirect calls must be followed by a 3-byte nop.
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.
