Thanks Will for porting rseq to arm64 !

I notice you are using the instructions

  adrp
  add
  str

to implement RSEQ_ASM_STORE_RSEQ_CS(). Did you compare
performance-wise with an approach using a literal pool
near the instruction pointer like I did on arm32 ?

With that approach, this ends up being simply

  adr
  str

which provides significantly better performance on my test
platform over loading a pointer targeting a separate data
section.

Thanks,

Mathieu
