Library support for aarch64-unknown-linux-pauthtest target by jchlanda · Pull Request #156548 · rust-lang/rust

jchlanda · 2026-05-13T14:16:43Z

This is a follow up to #155722, adding library support for the target.

jchlanda · 2026-05-13T14:17:48Z

The relevant change is only in the two most recent commits, the rest is from the target introduction PR.

…=davidtwco [PAC] FnAbi, llvm.ptrauth.resign and Session API change (2/8) This patch introduces the following: * Extends `FnAbi` (`callconv`) with a `ptrauth_type_discriminator` field. This field is only used when emitting pointer authentication call bundles. It is stored in `FnAbi` because the call site is not guaranteed to have access to an `Instance`, so the discriminator cannot always be computed on demand. * Adds support for `llvm.ptrauth.resign`. This intrinsic will be used when support for semantic transmute is added. * Performs a minor API redesign as groundwork for allowing call sites to modify schemas in place. The use of an extended `FnAbi` is dictated by the need to issue a ptrauth bundle for [call-like instructions](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/blob/main/compiler/rustc_codegen_llvm/src/builder.rs#L1477). At that point, we only have access to the `FnAbi` struct (`Instance` is not guaranteed to be available). Fundamentally, the discriminator originates from the source-level function type. Deriving it at the codegen stage would introduce a layering violation: it would require relying on `FnAbi`'s `ArgAbi` (for both return values and arguments) to preserve source-level type information. This is not a guarantee provided by these abstractions (and in code comments), as `FnAbi` represents a lowered calling convention rather than the original function signature. Computing the discriminator at this stage would therefore create a hard dependency on type information being available where it is not intended to be preserved. Carrying the value explicitly avoids reconstructing source-level information from lowered ABI data and keeps the abstraction boundaries intact. --- This is part 2 of a sequence of 8 PRs that together implement support for function pointer type discrimination: 1. [Encoder and hash](rust-lang#159071) 2. [FnAbi, llvm.ptrauth.resign and Session API change](rust-lang#159074) 3. [FPTR_TYPE_DISCR in ABI Version](rust-lang#159075) 4.
