Subject: Re: [PATCH v8 0/9] CFI for ARM32 using LLVM
Date: Mon, 29 Apr 2024 14:21:56 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <Zi+e9M/f5b/Sto9H@shell.armlinux.org.uk> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20240423-arm32-cfi-v8-0-08f10f5d9297@linaro.org>

I've applied this to a separate branch, and it should be in
linux-next by tomorrow.

As mentioned today on a previous iteration of the patch series,
I'm not all that happy with the introduction of delay-inducing
branches to solve CFI issues especially on the early CPUs where
a branch causes the CPUs pipeline to be flushed - thus making
branches expensive.

Can we make these branches conditional on the use of CFI?

Didn't Ard mention there was a way to do this using symbol aliases?

FTTP is here! 80Mbps down 10Mbps up. Decent connectivity at last!
