v0.2

New in this release:

• lfi-run has been rewritten to use liblfi and has been significantly improved.
• The runtime call table is now stored in x25, which will facilitate future improvements.
• The verifier is now significantly smaller and faster (200 MiB/s).
• Experimental support for running on x86-64 via Dynarmic in lfi-run. This effort will likely not be continued in the near future, but remains experimental due to being incomplete (you may encounter issues).

Several further improvements are in-progress: optimized integration with WebAssembly (including a WASI runtime), even faster verification, and native x86-64 support.

v0.1

Version 0.1 of LFI. This release includes prebuilt toolchains for both Clang and GCC in lfi-toolchain-arm64.tar.gz, and a prebuilt version of liblfi in liblfi-prebuilt.tar.gz. A GCC cross-compiler is also included that can run on x86-64 hosts in lfi-toolchain-amd64.tar.gz (does not include lfi-run).

The Clang toolchain expects you to have an externally installed version of Clang and LLD.

The GCC toolchain contains all necessary binaries within the toolchain (gcc, g++, binutils, etc.).

Prebuilt toolchain

Prebuilt LFI toolchain for LLVM 15.0.7.

• lfi.tar.gz: the LFI toolchain.
• lfi-native.tar.gz: a version of the LFI toolchain that is compiled without guards or reserved registers. This is used as a benchmark for native performance.
