David Woodhouse | cf66bb9 | 2012-12-03 16:25:40 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 156 | Modern versions of GCC (since 4.4) have builtin functions |

| 159 | __arch_bswapXX() macros, allows the compiler to see what's |
| 160 | happening and offers more opportunity for optimisation. In |
| 161 | particular, the compiler will be able to combine the byteswap |
| 162 | with a nearby load or store and use load-and-swap or |
| 163 | store-and-swap instructions if the architecture has them. It |
| 164 | should almost *never* result in code which is worse than the |

| 169 | instructions should set this. And it shouldn't hurt to set it |

| 549 | Note that security guarantees in the kernel differ from the |
| 550 | ones documented for user space. The kernel must store addresses |
| 551 | of shadow stacks in memory, which means an attacker capable of |
| 552 | reading and writing arbitrary memory may be able to locate them |
| 553 | and hijack control flow by modifying the stacks. |
