These commits from LLVM 10.0 are required to enable Windows Control Flow Guard (CFG). CFG is an exploit mitigation technology on Microsoft Windows to limit the available targets of indirect jumps. This provides security benefits when Rust is linked against C/C++ code.
Rustc currently supports the
-Z control_flow_guard
option to emit the necessary LLVM module flags. These commits enable LLVM to add the necessary CFG functionality when the module flags are present.Rust tracking issue: rust-lang/rust#68793
