When shadow stack from Intel CET is enabled, the first instruction of all
indirect branch targets must be a special instruction, ENDBR.
lib/asan/asan_interceptors.cc has
...
int res = REAL(swapcontext)(oucp, ucp);
...
REAL(swapcontext) is a function pointer to swapcontext in libc. Since
swapcontext may return via indirect branch on x86 when shadow stack is
enabled, as in this case,
int res = REAL(swapcontext)(oucp, ucp);
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ This function may be
returned via an indirect branch.
Here compiler must insert ENDBR after call, like
call *bar(%rip)
endbr64
I opened an LLVM bug:
https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=38207
to add the indirect_return attribute so that it can be used to inform
compiler to insert ENDBR after REAL(swapcontext) call. We mark
REAL(swapcontext) with the indirect_return attribute if it is available.
Please add a __ has_attribute compatibility definition here (same as __ has_feature):
