[PATCH] Fix storage union handling in check_expr_literal 1 year, 6 days ago

From to ~sircmpwn/hare-dev

From: Tobias Heider <me@tobhe.de>

Storage is a union of values with different sizes, passing
the contents unconditionally as int64 might work on amd64 but
breaks on other archs.
Since the type information is available we can use the correct
union field for each type instead.

Found the hard way trying to build this on big endian PowerPC.

Right, I agree. I'll send an update.

This seems to be quite helpful when working on a new backend.

Before: 14 test(s) failed!
After: 14 test(s) of 51 failed!

[PATCH] Fix IBT/BTI by instrumenting function calls 1 year, 2 months ago

From Tobias Heider to ~mpu/qbe

---
This is needed to work with struct BTI enforcement as is the default
now on OpenBSD. The instructions should evaluate to nops on non-supported
hardware.

The reason I use hint #34 instead of bti c for arm64 is that the gnu
assembler doesn't like bti instructions unless it is explicitly enabled,
see https://reviews.llvm.org/D81257

[Patch] Fix IBT/BTI by instrumenting function calls 1 year, 2 months ago

From Tobias Heider to ~mpu/qbe

Hi,

OpenBSD has started to strictly enforce running with BTI/IBT
where supported by the hardware.

This patch adds endbr64/bti c instructions to the function
entry points.  I have used hint #34 for bti because the
gnu assembler doesn't like bti instructions when they aren't
explicitly enabled. This is similar to the apprach taken by llvm
here:
https://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-commits/Week-of-Mon-20200601/790000.html

On non-supported machines they should simply evaluate to nop.
