    arm64: Basic Branch Target Identification support · 8ef8f360
    Dave Martin 提交于
    This patch adds the bare minimum required to expose the ARMv8.5
    Branch Target Identification feature to userspace.
    
    By itself, this does _not_ automatically enable BTI for any initial
    executable pages mapped by execve().  This will come later, but for
    now it should be possible to enable BTI manually on those pages by
    using mprotect() from within the target process.
    
    Other arches already using the generic mman.h are already using
    0x10 for arch-specific prot flags, so we use that for PROT_BTI
    here.
    
    For consistency, signal handler entry points in BTI guarded pages
    are required to be annotated as such, just like any other function.
    This blocks a relatively minor attack vector, but comforming
    userspace will have the annotations anyway, so we may as well
    enforce them.
