Add 'lpad 0' (landing pad) instructions at the beginning of all RISC-V assembly functions to support Forward Control Flow Integrity (Zicfilp extension). The lpad instruction is encoded as AUIPC x0, <lpl>, which is harmless on hardware without Zicfilp support (writes to zero register) and provides CFI protection on hardware with Zicfilp support. The instruction encoding (0x00000017 | (lpl << 12)) is directly emitted as .word, making it compatible with all toolchains.
Implement correct placement policy for lpad (landing pad) instructions according to RISC-V Zicfilp specification: - Add lpad ONLY to global symbols (exported functions) - Remove lpad from local labels (internal jump targets) Signed-off-by: Phoebe Chen <phoebe.chen@sifive.com>
