kcfi: Rename CONFIG_CFI_CLANG to CONFIG_CFI

2025-09-24T21:29:14+00:00

The kernel's CFI implementation uses the KCFI ABI specifically, and is not strictly tied to a particular compiler. In preparation for GCC supporting KCFI, rename CONFIG_CFI_CLANG to CONFIG_CFI (along with associated options). Use new "transitional" Kconfig option for old CONFIG_CFI_CLANG that will enable CONFIG_CFI during olddefconfig.

ARM: 9393/1: mm: Use conditionals for CFI branches

2024-05-07T09:30:24+00:00

Commit 9385/2 introduced a few branches inside function prototypes when using CFI in order to deal with the situation where CFI inserts a few bytes of function information in front of the symbol. This is not good for older CPUs where every cycle counts. Commit 9386/2 alleviated the situation a bit by using aliases for the cache functions with identical signatures. This leaves the coherent cache flush functions *_coherent_kern_range() with these branches to the corresponing *_coherent_user_range() around, since their return type differ and they therefore cannot be aliased. Solve this by a simple ifdef so at least we can use fallthroughs when compiling without CFI enabled.

ARM: 9388/2: mm: Type-annotate all per-processor assembly routines

2024-04-29T13:14:19+00:00

Type tag the remaining per-processor assembly using the CFI symbol macros, in addition to those that were previously tagged for cache maintenance calls. This will be used to finally provide proper C prototypes for all these calls as well so that CFI can be made to work.

ARM: 9387/2: mm: Rewrite cacheflush vtables in CFI safe C

2024-04-29T13:14:18+00:00

Instead of defining all cache flush operations with an assembly macro in proc-macros.S, provide an explicit struct cpu_cache_fns for each CPU cache type in mm/cache.c. As a side effect from rewriting the vtables in C, we can avoid the aliasing for the "louis" cache callback, instead we can just assign the NN_flush_kern_cache_all() function to the louis callback in the C vtable. As the louis cache callback is called explicitly (not through the vtable) if we only have one type of cache support compiled in, we need an ifdef quirk for this in the !MULTI_CACHE case. Feroceon and XScale have some dma mapping quirk, in this case we can just define two structs and assign all but one callback to the main implementation; since each of them invoked define_cache_functions twice they require MULTI_CACHE by definition so the compiled-in shortcut is not used on these variants.

ARM: 9386/2: mm: Use symbol alias for cache functions

2024-04-29T13:14:17+00:00

The cache functions to flush user cache (*_flush_user_cache_all) are in many cases just a branch to the corresponfing userspace or kernelspace function. These functions also have the same arguments. Simplify these by using SYM_FUNC_ALIAS() in all affected sites. The NOP cache has very many similar calls which are just returns, but it would be confusing to use aliases here, so leave all the explicit returns and drop a comment on why we are not using aliases.

ARM: 9385/2: mm: Type-annotate all cache assembly routines

2024-04-29T13:14:16+00:00

Tag all references to assembly functions with SYM_TYPED_FUNC_START() and SYM_FUNC_END() so they also become CFI-safe. When we add SYM_TYPED_FUNC_START() to assembly calls, a function prototype signature will be emitted into the object file at (pc-4) at the call site, so that the KCFI runtime check can compare this to the expected call. Example: 8011ae38: a540670c .word 0xa540670c 8011ae3c : 8011ae3c: e3a00000 mov r0, #0 8011ae40: ee070f11 mcr 15, 0, r0, cr7, cr1, {0} 8011ae44: e12fff1e bx lr This means no "fallthrough" code can enter a SYM_TYPED_FUNC_START() call from above it: there will be a function prototype signature there, so those are consistently converted to a branch or ret lr depending on context.
