[PATCH v24 7/9] x86/vdso: Introduce ENDBR macro

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



ENDBR is a special new instruction for the Indirect Branch Tracking (IBT)
component of CET.  IBT prevents attacks by ensuring that (most) indirect
branches and function calls may only land at ENDBR instructions.  Branches
that don't follow the rules will result in control flow (#CF) exceptions.

ENDBR is a noop when IBT is unsupported or disabled.  Most ENDBR
instructions are inserted automatically by the compiler, but branch
targets written in assembly must have ENDBR added manually.

There are two ENDBR versions: endbr64 and endbr32.  The compilers (gcc and
clang) have _CET_ENDBR defined for the proper one.  Introduce ENDBR macro,
which equals the compiler macro when enabled, otherwise nothing.
