This registers a breakpoint handler for the new breakpoint type (0x03) inserted by LLVM CLANG for CFI breakpoints. If we are in permissive mode, just print a backtrace and continue. Example with CONFIG_CFI_PERMISSIVE enabled: > echo CFI_FORWARD_PROTO > /sys/kernel/debug/provoke-crash/DIRECT lkdtm: Performing direct entry CFI_FORWARD_PROTO lkdtm: Calling matched prototype ... lkdtm: Calling mismatched prototype ... CFI failure at lkdtm_indirect_call+0x40/0x4c (target: 0x0; expected type: 0x00000000) WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 112 at lkdtm_indirect_call+0x40/0x4c CPU: 1 PID: 112 Comm: sh Not tainted 6.8.0-rc1+ #150 Hardware name: ARM-Versatile Express (...) lkdtm: FAIL: survived mismatched prototype function call! lkdtm: Unexpected! This kernel (6.8.0-rc1+ armv7l) was built with CONFIG_CFI_CLANG=y As you can see the LKDTM test fails, but I expect that this would be expected behaviour in the permissive mode. We are currently not implementing target and type for the CFI breakpoint as this requires additional operand bundling compiler extensions. CPUs without breakpoint support cannot handle breakpoints naturally, in these cases the permissive mode will not work, CFI will fall over on an undefined instruction: Internal error: Oops - undefined instruction: 0 [#1] PREEMPT ARM CPU: 0 PID: 186 Comm: ash Tainted: G W 6.9.0-rc1+ #7 Hardware name: Gemini (Device Tree) PC is at lkdtm_indirect_call+0x38/0x4c LR is at lkdtm_CFI_FORWARD_PROTO+0x30/0x6c This is reasonable I think: it's the best CFI can do to ascertain the the control flow is not broken on these CPUs.

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.
