Hi Peter,
Here I tried to fix 2 issues discussed on the previous thread;
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20230706113403.GI2833176@hirez.programming.kicks-ass.net/
- Prohibit probing on __cfi_* preamble symbols, which have the typeid.
- Prohibit probing on compiler generated movl/addl which is used for
detecting typeid on x86.
I'm not sure how arm64 implemented, but it seems
cfi_handler()@arch/arm64/kernel/traps.c just reads the registers for
the typeid instead of decoding the instructions.
I just build tested, since I could not boot the kernel with CFI_CLANG=y.
Would anyone know something about this error?

This looks like https://github.com/ClangBuiltLinux/linux/issues/1815 to
me. What version of LLVM are you using? This was fixed in 16.0.4. Commit
514ca14ed544 ("start_kernel: Add __no_stack_protector function
attribute") should resolve it on the Linux side, it looks like that is
in 6.5-rc1. Not sure if we should backport it or just let people upgrade
their toolchains on older releases.
Cheers,
Nathan

Thanks for the info. I confirmed that the commit fixed the boot issue.
So I think it should be backported to the stable tree.
Thanks!

Would you please apply commit 514ca14ed544 ("start_kernel: Add
__no_stack_protector function attribute") to linux-6.4.y? The series
ending with commit 611d4c716db0 ("x86/hyperv: Mark hv_ghcb_terminate()
as noreturn") that shipped in 6.4 exposes an LLVM issue that affected
16.0.0 and 16.0.1, which was resolved in 16.0.2. When using those
affected LLVM releases, the following crash at boot occurs:
[ 0.181667] Kernel panic - not syncing: stack-protector: Kernel stack is corrupted in: start_kernel+0x3cf/0x3d0

514ca14ed544 aims to avoid this on the Linux side. I have verified that
it applies to 6.4.3 cleanly and resolves the issue there, as has Masami.
If there are any issues or questions, please let me know.
Cheers,
