I don't think the compiler currently offers anything that could help us here. Peter, can you think of another way to avoid the function address to jump table address conversion with -fno-sanitize-cfi-canonical-jump-tables? > IIUC from other patches the symbol tables will contain the "real" > non-cfi entry points (unless we explciitly asked to make the jump table > address canonical), so AFAICT here the compiler should have all the > necessary information to generate either the CFI or non-CFI entry point > addresses, even if it doesn't expose an interface for that today. > > It'd be a lot nicer if we could get the compiler to do this for us. I agree, that would be quite useful in the kernel. Sami
