It needs to be defined for each + architecture. When choosing this value, it needs to be taken into + account that generating invalid instructions may have ill effects on + tools like objdump, and may also have impact on the CPU speculative + execution efficiency in some cases. + + - ARM little endian + + RSEQ_SIG uses the udf A32 instruction with an uncommon immediate operand + value 0x5de3. This traps if user-space reaches this instruction by mistake, + and the uncommon operand ensures the kernel does not move the instruction + pointer to attacker-controlled code on rseq abort. + + The instruction pattern in the A32 instruction set is: + + e7f5def3 udf #24035 ; 0x5de3 + + This translates to the following instruction pattern in the T16 instruction + set: + + little endian: + def3 udf #243 ; 0xf3 + e7f5 b.n <7f5> + + - ARMv6+ big endian (BE8): + + ARMv6+ -mbig-endian generates mixed endianness code vs data: little-endian + code and big-endian data.

However, the choice between BE32 + and BE8 is done by the linker, so we cannot know whether code and + data endianness will be mixed before the linker is invoked. So rather + than try to play tricks with the linker, the rseq signature is simply + data (not a trap instruction) prior to ARMv6 on big endian.
