- When signing return addresses with -msign-return-address=<scope>{+<key>},
either the A key instructions or the B key instructions can be used. To
correctly authenticate the return address, the unwinder/debugger must know
which key was used to sign the return address.
- When and exception is thrown or a break point reached, it may be necessary to
unwind the stack. To accomplish this, the unwinder/debugger must be able to
first authenticate an the return address if it has been signed.
- To enable this, the augmentation string of CIEs has been extended to allow
inclusion of a 'B' character. Functions that are signed using the B key
variant of the instructions should have and FDE whose associated CIE has a 'B'
in the augmentation string.
- One must also be able to preserve these semantics when first stepping from a
high level language into assembly and then, as a second step, into an object
file. To achieve this, I have introduced a new assembly directive
'.cfi_b_key_frame ', that tells the assembler the current frame uses return
address signing with the B key.
- This ensures that the FDE is associated with a CIE that has 'B' in the
augmentation string.

This directory contains tests for the MIR file format parser and printer. It was necessary to split the tests across different targets as no single target covers all features available in machine IR. Tests for codegen passes should NOT be here but in test/CodeGen/sometarget. As a rule of thumb this directory should only contain tests using 'llc -run-pass none'.
