# Straight-Line Speculation (SLS) — supplementary check (--extra only)
#
# SLS: x86 CPUs may speculatively execute instructions past unconditional
# control flow changes (RET, indirect JMP/CALL). Mitigated at compile time
# by CONFIG_MITIGATION_SLS (formerly CONFIG_SLS before kernel 6.8), which
# enables -mharden-sls=all to insert INT3 after these instructions.
# No sysfs interface, no MSR, no CPU feature flag.
# Related: CVE-2021-26341 (AMD Zen1/Zen2 direct-branch SLS subset).
# Heuristic: scan the kernel .text section for indirect call/jmp thunks
# (retpoline-style stubs), then check whether tail-call JMPs to those thunks
# are followed by INT3 (0xcc). With SLS enabled: >80%. Without: <20%.
#
# Thunk signature: e8 01 00 00 00 cc 48 89 XX 24
# call +1; int3; mov <reg>,(%rsp); ...
# Tail-call pattern: e9 XX XX XX XX [cc?]
# jmp <thunk>; [int3 if SLS]
# Perl implementation of the SLS heuristic byte scanner.
# Args: $1 = path to raw .text binary (from objcopy -O binary -j .text)
# Output: thunks=N jmps=N sls=N
#
# The heuristic looks for two types of thunks and counts how many jmp rel32
# instructions targeting them are followed by INT3 (the SLS mitigation):
#
# 1. Indirect call/jmp thunks (retpoline stubs used for indirect tail calls):
# e8 01 00 00 00 cc 48 89 XX 24 (call +1; int3; mov <reg>,(%rsp))
#
# 2. Return thunk (used for all function returns via jmp __x86_return_thunk):
# c3 90 90 90 90 cc cc cc cc cc (ret; nop*4; int3*5+)
# This is the most common jmp target in retpoline-enabled kernels.
#
# Some kernels only use indirect thunks, some only the return thunk, and some
# use both. We check both and combine the results.
