A single fix for static calls to make the trampoline patching more robust
by placing explicit signature bytes after the call trampoline to prevent
patching random other jumps like the CFI jump table entries.
static_call,x86: Robustify trampoline patching
Add a few signature bytes after the static call trampoline and verify
those bytes match before patching the trampoline. This avoids patching
random other JMPs (such as CFI jump-table entries) instead.
These bytes decode as:
d: 53 push %rbx
e: 43 54 rex.XB push %r12
And happen to spell "SCT".
