This patch series implements support for ARMv8.5-A Branch Target Identification (BTI), which is a control flow integrity protection feature introduced as part of the ARMv8.5-A extensions. Changes: v7: - Rebase onto v5.6-rc3. - Move comment about keeping NT_GNU_PROPERTY_TYPE_0 internal into first patch. - Add an explicit check for system_supports_bti() when parsing BTI ELF property for improved robustness. v6: - Rebase onto v5.6-rc1. - Fix typos s/BYTPE/BTYPE/ in commit log for "arm64: BTI: Decode BYTPE bits when printing PSTATE". v5: - Changed a bunch of -EIO to -ENOEXEC in the ELF parsing code. - Move PSR_BTYPE defines to UAPI. - Use compat_user_mode() rather than open coding. - Fix a typo s/BYTPE/BTYPE/ in syscall.c v4: - Dropped patch fixing existing documentation as it has already been merged. - Convert WARN_ON() to WARN_ON_ONCE() in "ELF: Add ELF program property parsing support". - Added display of guarded pages to ptdump. - Updated for conversion of exception handling from assembler to C. Notes: * GCC 9 can compile backwards-compatible BTI-enabled code with -mbranch-protection=bti or -mbranch-protection=standard. * Binutils trunk supports the new ELF note, but this wasn't in a release the last time I posted this series. (The situation _might_ have changed in the meantime...) Creation of a BTI-enabled binary requires _everything_ linked in to be BTI-enabled. For now ld --force-bti can be used to override this, but some things may break until the required C library support is in place. There is no straightforward way to mark a .s file as BTI-enabled: scraping the output from gcc -S works as a quick hack for now. readelf -n can be used to examing the program properties in an ELF file. * Runtime mmap() and mprotect() can be used to enable BTI on a page-by-page basis using the new PROT_BTI, but the code in the affected pages still needs to be written or compiled to contain the appopriate BTI landing pads.
