Code Pointer Integrity/Code Pointer Separation

[Thomas Klausner <tk%giga.or.at@localhost>]

Hi!

I stumbled over this project

http://levee.epfl.ch/

via this talk

http://media.ccc.de/browse/congress/2014/31c3_-_6050_-_en_-_saal_g_-_201412272030_-_code_pointer_integrity_-_gannimo.html#video

Just in case someone is interested in porting it (implemented for
FreeBSD).

The idea is (IIUC) to put pointers in a separate "safe" space to avoid
them getting overwritten, with rather low overhead (<10%). They
promise no changes to the source code of programs are needed.
