[3/15] arm: Add option -mbranch-protection
Commit Message
Hi all,
this adds -mbranch-protection option. This option enables the
code-generation of pointer signing and authentication instructions in
function prologues and epilogues.
gcc/ChangeLog:
* config/arm/arm.c (arm_configure_build_target): Parse and validate
-mbranch-protection option and initialize appropriate data structures.
* config/arm/arm.opt (-mbranch-protection): New option.
* doc/invoke.texi (Arm Options): Document it.

+Enable branch protection features (armv8.1-m.main only).
+@samp{none} generate code without branch protection or return address
+signing.
+@samp{standard[+@var{leaf}]} generate code with all branch protection
+features enabled at their standard level.
+@samp{pac-ret[+@var{leaf}]} generate code with return address signing
+set to its standard level, which is to sign all functions that save
+the return address to memory.
+@samp{leaf} When return address signing is enabled, also sign leaf
+functions even if they do not write the return address to memory.
++@samp{bti} Add landing-pad instructions at the permitted targets of
+indirect branch instructions.
+
+If the @samp{+pacbti} architecture extension is not enabled, then all
+branch protection and return address signing operations are
+constrained to use only the instructions defined in the
+architectural-NOP space. The generated code will remain
+backwards-compatible with earlier versions of the architecture, but
+the additional security can be enabled at run time on processors that
+support the @samp{PACBTI} extension.
+
+Branch target enforcement using BTI can only be enabled at runtime if
+all code in the application has been compiled with at least
+@samp{-mbranch-protection=bti}.
+
+Any setting other than @samp{none} is supported only on armv8-m.main
+or later.
+
+The default is to generate code without branch protection or return
+address signing.
