cfi: add __cficanonical
With CONFIG_CFI_CLANG, the compiler replaces a function address taken in C code with the address of a local jump table entry, which passes runtime indirect call checks. However, the compiler won't replace addresses taken in assembly code, which will result in a CFI failure if we later jump to such an address in instrumented C code. The code generated for the non-canonical jump table looks this: <noncanonical.cfi_jt>: /* In C, &noncanonical points here */ jmp noncanonical ... <noncanonical>: /* function body */ ... This change adds the __cficanonical attribute, which tells the compiler to use a canonical jump table for the function instead. This means the compiler will rename the actual function to <function>.cfi and points the original symbol to the jump table entry instead: <canonical>: /* jump table entry */ jmp canonical.cfi ... <canonical.cfi>: /* function body */ ... As a result, the address taken in assembly, or other non-instrumented code always points to the jump table and therefore, can be used for indirect calls in instrumented code without tripping CFI checks.
