45 /* This pass enables the support for Branch Target Identification Mechanism for
46 Arm/AArch64. This is a security feature introduced in ARMv8.5-A
47 architecture and ARMv8.1-M. A BTI instruction is used to guard against the
48 execution of instructions which are not the intended target of an indirect
51 Outside of a guarded memory region, a BTI instruction executes as a NOP.
52 Within a guarded memory region any target of an indirect branch must be
53 a compatible BTI or BRK, HLT, PACIASP, PACIBASP instruction (even if the
54 branch is triggered in a non-guarded memory region). An incompatibility
55 generates a Branch Target Exception.
57 The compatibility of the BTI instruction is as follows (AArch64
59 BTI j : Can be a target of any indirect jump (BR Xn).
60 BTI c : Can be a target of any indirect call (BLR Xn and BR X16/X17).
61 BTI jc: Can be a target of any indirect call or indirect jump.
62 BTI : Can not be a target of any indirect call or indirect jump.
64 In order to enable this mechanism, this pass iterates through the
65 control flow of the code and adds appropriate BTI instructions :
66 * Add a new "BTI C" at the beginning of a function, unless its already
67 protected by a "PACIASP/PACIBSP". We exempt the functions that are only
69 * Add a new "BTI J" for every target of an indirect jump, jump table targets,
70 non-local goto targets or labels that might be referenced by variables,
71 constant pools, etc (NOTE_INSN_DELETED_LABEL)
73 Since we have already changed the use of indirect tail calls to only x16
74 and x17, we do not have to use "BTI JC".
76 This pass is triggered by the command line option -mbranch-protection=bti or
77 -mbranch-protection=standard. Since all the BTI instructions are in the HINT
78 space, this pass does not require any minimum architecture version. */
