--- Comment #9 from joseph at codesourcery dot com <joseph at codesourcery dot com> --- I believe the security reason for separate-code is the risk that rodata could contain byte patterns that can be used as a Spectre gadget if branch predication state is manipulated so that an address in rodata is speculated as the target of a branch (this of course only helps if the processor checks page permissions before speculative execution). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ bug-binutils mailing list bug-binutils@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-binutils
