Nathan Chancellor 39c89ee6e9 compiler_types: Introduce __nocfi_generic
There are two different ways that LLVM can expand kCFI operand bundles
in LLVM IR: generically in the middle end or using an architecture
specific sequence when lowering LLVM IR to machine code in the backend.
The generic pass allows any architecture to take advantage of kCFI but
the expansion of these bundles in the middle end can mess with
optimizations that may turn indirect calls into direct calls when the
call target is known at compile time, such as after inlining.

Add __nocfi_generic, dependent on an architecture selecting
CONFIG_ARCH_USES_CFI_GENERIC_LLVM_PASS, to disable kCFI bundle
generation in functions where only the generic kCFI pass may cause
problems.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
