[AArch64][PAC] Protect the entire function if pac-ret+leaf is requested (#140895)

Normally, pac-ret hardening is emitted as part of function prologues and
epilogues, thus it is affected by the shrink-wrapping optimization.

As protecting LR when it is spilled to the stack is already handled by
regular -mbranch-protection=pac-ret option, it is reasonable to assume
that pac-ret+leaf option means the user wants to apply pac-ret hardening
to as much code as possible. For that reason, if pac-ret+leaf hardening
mode is requested, this patch moves the emission of PAUTH_PROLOGUE (or
PAUTH_EPILOGUE) pseudos from emitPrologue (emitEpilogue) methods of the
AArch64FrameLowering class to processFunctionBeforeFrameIndicesReplaced.
This change does not currently affect targets that emit WinCFI unwind
information.

This commit only affects where LR is signed and authenticated, but does
not otherwise prevents the shrink-wrapping optimization. Moreover,
without "+leaf" modifier PAUTH_(PROLOGUE|EPILOGUE) pseudos respect the
shrink-wrapping optimization just as any other prologue/epilogue code.

The LLVM Compiler Infrastructure

OpenSSF Scorecard OpenSSF Best Practices libc++

Welcome to the LLVM project!

This repository contains the source code for LLVM, a toolkit for the construction of highly optimized compilers, optimizers, and run-time environments.

The LLVM project has multiple components. The core of the project is itself called “LLVM”. This contains all of the tools, libraries, and header files needed to process intermediate representations and convert them into object files. Tools include an assembler, disassembler, bitcode analyzer, and bitcode optimizer.

C-like languages use the Clang frontend. This component compiles C, C++, Objective-C, and Objective-C++ code into LLVM bitcode -- and from there into object files, using LLVM.

Other components include: the libc++ C++ standard library, the LLD linker, and more.

Getting the Source Code and Building LLVM

Consult the Getting Started with LLVM page for information on building and running LLVM.
