- Add RETGUARD to clang for amd64. This security mechanism uses per-function random cookies to protect access to function return instructions, with the effect that the integrity of the return address is protected, and function return instructions are harder to use in ROP gadgets. On function entry the return address is combined with a per-function random cookie and stored in the stack frame. The integrity of this value is verified before function return, and if this check fails, the program aborts. In this way RETGUARD is an improved stack protector, since the cookies are per-function. The verification routine is constructed such that the binary space immediately before each ret instruction is padded with int03 instructions, which makes these return instructions difficult to use in ROP gadgets. In the kernel, this has the effect of removing approximately 50% of total ROP gadgets, and 15% of unique ROP gadgets compared to the 6.3 release kernel. Function epilogues are essentially gadget free, leaving only the polymorphic gadgets that result from jumping into the instruction stream partway through other instructions. Work to remove these gadgets will continue through other mechanisms. - Improve the X86FixupGadgets pass Index: lib/Target/X86/X86InstrCompiler.td --- lib/Target/X86/X86InstrCompiler.td.orig +++ lib/Target/X86/X86InstrCompiler.td @@ -277,6 +277,25 @@ def MORESTACK_RET_RESTORE_R10 : I<0, Pseudo, (outs), ( } //===----------------------------------------------------------------------===// +// Pseudo instruction used by retguard + +// This is lowered to a JE 2; INT3; INT3.
