AFAICT, libc is also providing CFI for x86 [2]. Actually the x86 one is more complex and provide a comment explaining why CFI is used here.

Hmm... indeed. We might revisit this at some point to make sure debugging in signal handlers works. For now, however, I will leave this out of the patch series. The Linux userspace platform has been broken for two months now, and that state is quite embarrassing, so I'd rather have this finally fixed.

Good point though and will be interesting to see what exactly they are pushing in there as CFI.

Thanks again,
Florian
