Commit Message

Uros Bizjak Aug. 10, 2018, 11:42 a.m. UTC
This option is fairly ineffective, and in the light of CET, nobody
seems interested to improve it. Deprecate the option, so it won't lure
developers to the land of false security.

2018-08-10  Uros Bizjak  <ubizjak@gmail.com>

    * config/i386/i386.opt (mmitigate-rop): Mark as deprecated.
    * doc/invoke.texi (mmitigate-rop): Remove.
    * config/i386/i386.c: Do not include "regrename.h".
    (ix86_rop_should_change_byte_p, reg_encoded_number)
    (ix86_get_modrm_for_rop, set_rop_modrm_reg_bits, ix86_mitigate_rop):
    Remove.
    (ix86_reorg): Remove call to ix86_mitigate_rop.
    * config/i386/i386.md (attr "modrm_class"): Remove.
    (cmp<mode>_ccno_1, mov<mode>_xor, movstrict<mode>_xor,
    x86_mov<mode>cc_0_m1. x86_mov<mode>cc_0_m1_se)
    (x86_mov<mode>cc_0_m1_neg): Remove modrm_class attribute override.

testsuite/Changelog:

2018-08-10  Uros Bizjak  <ubizjak@gmail.com>

    * gcc.target/i386/rop1.c: Remove.
    * gcc.target/i386/pr83554 (dg-options): Remove -mmitigate-rop.

Bootstrapped and regression tested on x86_64-linux-gnu {,-m32}.

Any opinion against the deprecation?

Uros.

As I noted privately, Red Hat is no longer investing in this space due
to the introduction of CET.

I'll ack deprecation.
