Add uwtable annotation to modules when required When unwind tables are enabled with `-Cforce-unwind-tables=y`, Rust will annotate all functions with the `uwtable` annotation. However, this annotation is missing on modules, which leads to incorrect unwind tables being generated by LLVM for constructors (such as `asan.module_ctor`). This was discovered because it leads to a crash in Linux when KASAN and dynamic shadow call stack are both enabled. In this scenario, the kernel uses the unwind tables to locate the `paciasp` and `autiasp` instructions in each function and patches the machine code at boot to use the shadow call stack instructions instead. However, LLVM's AArch64PointerAuth pass emits DWARF info for `paciasp` whenever `-g` is passed, but only emits DWARF info for `autiasp` when the `uwtable` attribute is present. Since the `uwtable` annotation is missing for modules, the relevant directives are generated for only the `autiasp` instruction in `asan.module_ctor`, and not for the `paciasp` instruction. This causes the kernel's dynamic SCS logic to patch the prolouge of `asan.module_ctor`, but not the epilogue. This leads to a crash as the shadow call stack becomes unbalanced. The fact that LLVM doesn't use the same condition for whether to emit DWARF information for both instructions may be a separate bug in LLVM. Relevant issue: https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/188234 AI assistance was used to determine the root cause of this crash from the observed symptoms, and to write the tests. Also thanks to @samitolvanen and @maurer for debugging this issue. Similar to this previous PR of mine: rust-lang/rust#130824
The codegen crate contains the code to convert from MIR into LLVM IR,
and then from LLVM IR into machine code. In general it contains code
that runs towards the end of the compilation process.
For more information about how codegen works, see the rustc dev guide.
