[AArch64][PAC] Sign block addresses used in indirectbr. (#97647)
Enabled in clang using:
-fptrauth-indirect-gotos
and at the IR level using function attribute:
"ptrauth-indirect-gotos"
Signing uses IA and a per-function integer discriminator. The
discriminator isn't ABI-visible, and is currently:
ptrauth_string_discriminator("<function_name> blockaddress")
A sufficiently sophisticated frontend could benefit from per-indirectbr
discrimination, which would need additional machinery, such as allowing
"ptrauth" bundles on indirectbr. For our purposes, the simple scheme
above is sufficient.
This approach doesn't support subtracting label addresses and using
the result as offsets, because each label address is signed.
Pointer arithmetic on signed pointers corrupts the signature bits,
and because label address expressions aren't typed beyond void*,
we can't do anything reliably intelligent on the arithmetic exprs.
Not signing addresses when used to form offsets would allow
easily hijacking control flow by overwriting the offset.
This diagnoses the basic cases (`&&lbl2 - &&lbl1`) in the frontend,
while we evaluate either alternative implementations (e.g., lowering
blockaddress to a bb number, and indirectbr to a checked jump-table),
or better diagnostics (both at the frontend level and on unencodable
IR constants).
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.
For information on how to contribute to the LLVM project, please take a look at the Contributing to LLVM guide.

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