Summary

Add two new ways of accessing the unsafe stack pointer:

  • at a fixed offset from the thread TLS base. This is very similar to StackProtector cookies, but we plan to extend it to other backends (ARM in particular) soon. Bionic-side implementation here: https://android-review.googlesource.com/170988
  • via a function call, as a fallback for platforms that provide neither a fixed TLS slot, nor a reasonable TLS implementation (i.e. not emutls).

Default = nullptr to avoid this?

Can probably just forward declare right?

lib/Target/X86/X86ISelLowering.cpp

Block point explaining the idea behind it? (Also might want the same sort of thing on the function just above if you wouldn't mind.)

lib/Transforms/Instrumentation/SafeStack.cpp

Can you remove the dependence on TTI separately? I don't see any use otherwise?

226

const?

263–268

Needs a comment.

Also, can we do this in such a way that we don't need to check for android? Similar to the stack protector pattern?

Passes.h needed for INITIALIZE_TM_PASS_BEGIN

263–268

We could move this logic to TargetLowering.h, making the X86 implementation delegate to the common implementation if not android, but it does not improve anything.

387–390

Simplified.
This code moved insertion point after the calculation of UnsafeStackPtr, unless that's a constant.
