   2 years ago, ARM folks support HWASAN[1] in GCC[2], and introduced several
target hooks(Many thanks to their work) so other backends can do similar
things if they have similar feature.
   Intel LAM(linear Address Masking)[3 Charpter 14] supports similar feature 
with
the upper bits of pointers can be used as metadata, LAM support two modes:
   LAM_U48:bits 48-62 can be used as metadata
   LAM_U57:bits 57-62 can be used as metedata.

These 2 patches mainly support those target hooks, but HWASAN is not really
enabled until the final decision for the LAM kernel interface which may take
quite a long time. We have verified our patches with a "fake" interface 
locally[4], and
decided to push the backend patches to the GCC13 to make other HWASAN 
developper's work
easy.

Hello.

A few random comments I noticed:

1) please document the new target -mlam in extend.texi
2) the description speaks about bits [48-62] or [57-62], can explain why the 
patch contains:

+  /* Mask off bit63 when LAM_U57.  */
+  if (ix86_lam_type == lam_u57)
?

3) Shouldn't the -lman option emit GNU_PROPERTY_X86_FEATURE_1_LAM_U57 or 
GNU_PROPERTY_X86_FEATURE_1_LAM_U48
.gnu.property note?

4) Can you please explain Florian's comment here:

Thanks,
Martin

Bootstrapped and regtested on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu{-m32,}.
Ok for trunk?

liuhongt (2):
   Implement hwasan target_hook.
   Enable hwasan for x86-64.
