Ensure that outgoing argument size is at least 8 bytes when alloca and stack-clash.
This patch adds a requirement that the number of outgoing arguments for a function is at least 8 bytes when using stack-clash protection and alloca. By using this condition we can avoid a check in the alloca code and so have smaller and simpler code there. A simplified version of the AArch64 stack frames is: +-----------------------+ | | | | | | +-----------------------+ |LR | +-----------------------+ |FP | +-----------------------+ |dynamic allocations | ---- expanding area which will push the outgoing +-----------------------+ args down during each allocation. |padding | +-----------------------+ |outgoing stack args | ---- safety buffer of 8 bytes (aligned) +-----------------------+ By always defining an outgoing argument, alloca(0) effectively is safe to probe at $sp due to the reserved buffer being there. It will never corrupt the stack. This is also safe for alloca(x) where x is 0 or x % page_size == 0. In the former it is the same case as alloca(0) while the latter is safe because any allocation pushes the outgoing stack args down: |FP | +-----------------------+ | | |dynamic allocations | ---- alloca (x) | | +-----------------------+ |padding | +-----------------------+ |outgoing stack args | ---- safety buffer of 8 bytes (aligned) +-----------------------+ Which means when you probe for the residual, if it's 0 you'll again just probe in the outgoing stack args range, which we know is non-zero (at least 8 bytes). gcc/ PR target/86486 * config/aarch64/aarch64.h (STACK_CLASH_MIN_BYTES_OUTGOING_ARGS, STACK_DYNAMIC_OFFSET): New. * config/aarch64/aarch64.c (aarch64_layout_frame): Update outgoing args size.
