AArch64 GCS (Guarded Control Stack) is similar enough to CET that we can re-use the existing code that is guarded by _LIBUNWIND_USE_CET, so long as we also add defines to locate the GCS stack and pop the entries from it. We also need the jumpto function to exit using br instead of ret, to prevent it from popping the GCS stack. GCS support is enabled using the LIBUNWIND_ENABLE_GCS cmake option. This enables -mbranch-protection=standard, which enables GCS. For the places we need to use GCS instructions we use the target attribute, as there's not a command-line option to enable a specific architecture extension.
The LLVM Compiler Infrastructure
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.
