//
// This file contains a pass to insert code to mitigate against side channel
// vulnerabilities that may happen under control flow miss-speculation.
//
// The pass implements tracking of control flow miss-speculation into a "taint"
// register. That taint register can then be used to mask off registers with
// sensitive data when executing under miss-speculation, a.k.a. "transient
// execution".
// This pass is aimed at mitigating against SpectreV1-style vulnarabilities.
//
// At the moment, it implements the tracking of miss-speculation of control
// flow into a taint register, but doesn't implement a mechanism yet to then
// use that taint register to mask of vulnerable data in registers (something
// for a follow-on improvement). Possible strategies to mask out vulnerable
// data that can be implemented on top of this are:
// - speculative load hardening to automatically mask of data loaded
//   in registers.
// - using intrinsics to mask of data in registers as indicated by the
//   programmer (see https://lwn.net/Articles/759423/).
//
// For AArch64, the following implementation choices are made below.
// Some of these are different than the implementation choices made in
// the similar pass implemented in X86SpeculativeLoadHardening.cpp, as
// the instruction set characteristics result in different trade-offs.
// - The speculation hardening is done after register allocation. With a
//   relative abundance of registers, one register is reserved (X16) to be
//   the taint register. X16 is expected to not clash with other register
//   reservation mechanisms with very high probability because:
//   . The AArch64 ABI doesn't guarantee X16 to be retained across any call.
//   . The only way to request X16 to be used as a programmer is through
//     inline assembly. In the rare case a function explicitly demands to
//     use X16/W16, this pass falls back to hardening against speculation
//     by inserting a DSB SYS/ISB barrier pair which will prevent control
//     flow speculation.
// - It is easy to insert mask operations at this late stage as we have
//   mask operations available that don't set flags.
// - The taint variable contains all-ones when no miss-speculation is detected,
//   and contains all-zeros when miss-speculation is detected. Therefore, when
//   masking, an AND instruction (which only changes the register to be masked,
//   no other side effects) can easily be inserted anywhere that's needed.
// - The tracking of miss-speculation is done by using a data-flow conditional
//   select instruction (CSEL) to evaluate the flags that were also used to
//   make conditional branch direction decisions. Speculation of the CSEL
//   instruction can be limited with a CSDB instruction - so the combination of
//   CSEL + a later CSDB gives the guarantee that the flags as used in the CSEL
//   aren't speculated. When conditional branch direction gets miss-speculated,
//   the semantics of the inserted CSEL instruction is such that the taint
//   register will contain all zero bits.
//   One key requirement for this to work is that the conditional branch is
//   followed by an execution of the CSEL instruction, where the CSEL
//   instruction needs to use the same flags status as the conditional branch.
//   This means that the conditional branches must not be implemented as one
//   of the AArch64 conditional branches that do not use the flags as input
//   (CB(N)Z and TB(N)Z). This is implemented by ensuring in the instruction
//   selectors to not produce these instructions when speculation hardening
//   is enabled. This pass will assert if it does encounter such an instruction.
// - On function call boundaries, the miss-speculation state is transferred from
//   the taint register X16 to be encoded in the SP register as value 0.
//
// Future extensions/improvements could be:
// - Implement this functionality using full speculation barriers, akin to the
//   x86-slh-lfence option. This may be more useful for the intrinsics-based
//   approach than for the SLH approach to masking.
//   Note that this pass already inserts the full speculation barriers if the
//   function for some niche reason makes use of X16/W16.
// - no indirect branch misprediction gets protected/instrumented; but this
//   could be done for some indirect branches, such as switch jump tables.
