Disable CFI checking for functions that switch to linear mapping and
make an indirect call to a physical address, since the compiler only
understands virtual addresses and the CFI check for such indirect calls
would always fail.

What does physical vs virtual have to do with this? Does the address
actually matter, or is this just a general thing that when calling an
assembly function we won't have a trampoline that the caller expects?

I wonder if we need to do something with asmlinkage here, perhaps?

I didn't spot anything in the seriues handling EFI runtime services
calls, and I strongly suspect we need to do something for those, unless
they're handled implicitly by something else.

Given these are inlines, what's the effect when these are inlined into a
function that would normally use CFI? Does CFI get supressed for the
whole function, or just the bit that got inlined?

Is there an attribute that we could place on a function pointer to tell
the compiler to not check calls via that pointer? If that existed we'd
be able to scope this much more tightly.

Thanks,
Mark.

All indirect EFI calls are routed via a asm helper that I originally
added to check whether x18 was corrupted by the firmware. So from the
caller side, we should be fine.

All callees are addresses that are provided by the firmware via tables
in memory, so I would assume that this addresses the callee side as
well. AFAICT, it is never left up to the compiler to emit these
indirect calls, or take the address of a firmware routine.

But a test would be nice :-)

I agree that it would be very helpful to be able to define a function
pointer type that is exempt from CFI checks.

No, this is about the actual address. The compiler-generated runtime
checks only know about EL1 virtual addresses, so if we switch to a
different address space, all indirect calls will trip CFI.

Just for the bit that gets inlined.

There isn't, but I do agree that this would be a useful feature.
