Subject: [PATCH RFC 5/8] arm64: cfi: Use CONFIG_ARM64_FUNCTION_PREFIX_NOPS for the type hash offset
Date: Fri, 04 Sep 2026 01:18:37 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260904-b4-arm64-callops-kcfi-v1-5-ce6687739b0c@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260904-b4-arm64-callops-kcfi-v1-0-ce6687739b0c@linux.dev>
Make cfi_get_offset(), SYM_TYPED_FUNC_START and the BPF JIT use
CONFIG_ARM64_FUNCTION_PREFIX_NOPS instead of hardcoding four bytes. kCFI
kernels with CALL_OPS need three NOPs, or five with ThinLTO and BTI.
CONFIG_ARM64_FUNCTION_PREFIX_NOPS is 0 on every CFI kernel today, so no
functional change.
