2025-09-24kcfi: Rename CONFIG_CFI_CLANG to CONFIG_CFIKees Cook
The kernel's CFI implementation uses the KCFI ABI specifically, and is not strictly tied to a particular compiler. In preparation for GCC supporting KCFI, rename CONFIG_CFI_CLANG to CONFIG_CFI (along with associated options). Use new "transitional" Kconfig option for old CONFIG_CFI_CLANG that will enable CONFIG_CFI during olddefconfig.

2025-07-31cfi: add C CFI type macroMark Rutland
Currently x86 and riscv open-code 4 instances of the same logic to define a u32 variable with the KCFI typeid of a given function. Replace the duplicate logic with a common macro.

2022-09-26cfi: Add type helper macrosSami Tolvanen
With CONFIG_CFI_CLANG, assembly functions called indirectly from C code must be annotated with type identifiers to pass CFI checking. In order to make this easier, the compiler emits a __kcfi_typeid_<function> symbol for each address-taken function declaration in C, which contains the expected type identifier that we can refer to in assembly code. Add a typed version of SYM_FUNC_START, which emits the type identifier before the function. Architectures that support KCFI can define their own __CFI_TYPE macro to override the default preamble format. As an example, for the x86_64 blowfish_dec_blk function, the compiler emits the following type symbol: $ readelf -sW vmlinux | grep __kcfi_typeid_blowfish_dec_blk 120204: 00000000ef478db5 0 NOTYPE WEAK DEFAULT ABS __kcfi_typeid_blowfish_dec_blk And SYM_TYPED_FUNC_START will generate the following preamble based on the __CFI_TYPE definition for the architecture: $ objdump -dr arch/x86/crypto/blowfish-x86_64-asm_64.o ... 0000000000000400 <__cfi_blowfish_dec_blk>: ... 40b: b8 00 00 00 00 mov $0x0,%eax 40c: R_X86_64_32 __kcfi_typeid_blowfish_dec_blk 0000000000000410 <blowfish_dec_blk>: ... Note that the address of all assembly functions annotated with SYM_TYPED_FUNC_START must be taken in C code that's linked into the binary or the missing __kcfi_typeid_ symbol will result in a linker error with CONFIG_CFI_CLANG. If the code that contains the indirect call is not always compiled in, __ADDRESSABLE(functionname) can be used to ensure that the __kcfi_typeid_ symbol is emitted.
