[PATCH v1] rust: cfi: only 64-bit arm and x86 support CFI_CLANG

[PATCH v1] rust: cfi: only 64-bit arm and x86 support CFI_CLANG

[Conor Dooley]

From: Conor Dooley <conor.dooley@microchip.com>

The kernel uses the standard rustc targets for non-x86 targets, and out
of those only 64-bit arm's target has kcfi support enabled. For x86, the
custom 64-bit target enables kcfi.

The HAVE_CFI_ICALL_NORMALIZE_INTEGERS_RUSTC config option that allows
CFI_CLANG to be used in combination with RUST does not check whether the
rustc target supports kcfi. This breaks the build on riscv (and
presumably 32-bit arm) when CFI_CLANG and RUST are enabled at the same
time.

Ordinarily, a rustc-option check would be used to detect target support
but unfortunately rustc-option filters out the target for reasons given
in commit 46e24a545cdb4 ("rust: kasan/kbuild: fix missing flags on first
build"). As a result, if the host supports kcfi but the target does not,
e.g. when building for riscv on x86_64, the build would remain broken.

Instead, make HAVE_CFI_ICALL_NORMALIZE_INTEGERS_RUSTC depend on the only
two architectures where the target used supports it to fix the build.

I'm generally fine with this, but normally we do arch-specific stuff
only in arch/$arch/Kconfig, and expose some kind of
ARCH_HAS_CFI_ICALL_NORMALIZE_INTEGERS that would get tested here. Should
we do that here too?

I'm thinking in this case it makes sense to keep this patch simple as
it's a fix. Once rustc supports cfi on riscv (which should really just
be changing the target to list it as supported), we can reorganize it to
match what you're describing at that point.

Hopefully someone can take it! I was hoping it'd be 6.18 material, can
someone grab it for fixes please?

Will pick it up for early v6.18-rc fixes, thanks.
