[RFC PATCH v2 20/21] x86: Add support for CONFIG_CFI_CLANG

From: Sami Tolvanen
Date: Fri May 13 2022 - 16:24:10 EST


With CONFIG_CFI_CLANG, the compiler injects a type preamble
immediately before each function and a check to validate the target
function type before indirect calls:

; type preamble
__cfi_function:
int3
int3
mov <id>, %eax
int3
int3
function:
...
; indirect call check
cmpl    <id>, -6(%r11)
je .Ltmp1
ud2
.Ltmp1:
call __x86_indirect_thunk_r11

Define the __CFI_TYPE helper macro for manual type annotations in
assembly code, add error handling for the CFI ud2 traps, and allow
CONFIG_CFI_CLANG to be selected on x86_64.
