For CFI, we need to compile slirp as a static library together with qemu. This is because we register slirp functions as callbacks for QEMU Timers. When using a system-wide shared libslirp, the type information for the callback is missing and the timer call produces a false positive with CFI.
With this patch, meson will stop if CFI is enabled with system-wide slirp Signed-off-by: Daniele Buono <dbu...@linux.vnet.ibm.com> --- meson.build | 12 ++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 12 insertions(+) diff --git a/meson.build b/meson.build index f3db83e974..e1ec5020ac 100644 --- a/meson.build +++ b/meson.build @@ -1569,6 +1569,18 @@ if have_system endif endif +# For CFI, we need to compile slirp as a static library together with qemu. +# This is because we register slirp functions as callbacks for QEMU Timers. +# When using a system-wide shared libslirp, the type information for the +# callback is missing and the timer call produces a false positive with CFI. +# +# Now that slirp_opt has been defined, check if the selected slirp is compatible +# with control-flow integrity. +if get_option('cfi') and slirp_opt == 'system' + error('Control-Flow Integrity is not compatible with system-wide slirp.' \ + + ' Please configure with --enable-slirp=git') +endif + fdt = not_found fdt_opt = get_option('fdt') if have_system -- 2.30.0
