Alternatively, there is another compiler-defined macro _CET_ENDBR that can
be used. We can put the following in calling.h:
#ifdef __CET__
#include <cet.h>
#else
#define _CET_ENDBR
#endif
and then use _CET_ENDBR in other files. How is that?
In the future, in case we have kernel-mode IBT, ENDBR macros are also needed
for other assembly files.
Can we please call it IBT_ENDBR or just ENDBR. CET is a horrible name,
seeing how it is not specific.
_CET_ENDBR is from the compiler and we cannot change it. We can do:
#define ENDBR _CET_ENDBR
How is that?
Do we really want to include compiler headers? AFAICT it's not a
built-in. Also what about clang?
This thing seems trivial enough to build our own, it's a single damn
instruction. That also means we don't have to worry about changes to
header files we don't control.
Then, what about moving what I had earlier to vdso.h?
If we don't want __i386__ either, then make it two macros.
+.macro ENDBR
+#ifdef CONFIG_X86_CET
+#ifdef __i386__
+ endbr32
+#else
+ endbr64
+#endif
+#endif
+.endm
