Worked on the espressif/llvm-project repository to address a critical issue in AArch64 pointer authentication, focusing on correctness and runtime safety in low-level code generation. The main contribution involved fixing the ordering of Call Frame Information (CFI) and pointer authentication signing instructions to ensure compliance with the AArch64 ABI. By adjusting the placement of CFI instructions to precede signing operations, the update prevented potential runtime errors and improved ABI adherence. This work required a strong understanding of AArch64 architecture, ABI compliance, and compiler development, utilizing C++ and LLVM IR to implement and validate the solution within the compiler’s codebase.
