        <pre>On x86, swapcontext may return via indirect branch when shadow stack
is enabled.  To support code instrumentation of control-flow transfers
with -fcf-protection, add indirect_return function attribute to inform
compiler that a function may return via indirect branch.

Note: Unlike setjmp, swapcontext only returns once.  Mark it return
twice will unnecessarily disable compiler optimization as shown in
the testcase here.

This has been implemented in GCC 9:

<a href="https://gcc.gnu.org/git/?p=gcc.git;a=commit;h=d4d9fba553cd199f422fbd10cf3de72a9b0eafa8">https://gcc.gnu.org/git/?p=gcc.git;a=commit;h=d4d9fba553cd199f422fbd10cf3de72a9b0eafa8</a>

We need a way to generate ENDBR in compiler-rt:

INTERCEPTOR(int, swapcontext, struct ucontext_t *oucp,
            struct ucontext_t *ucp) {
  static bool reported_warning = false;
  if (!reported_warning) {
    Report("WARNING: ASan doesn't fully support makecontext/swapcontext "
           "functions and may produce false positives in some cases!\n");
    reported_warning = true;
  }
  // Clear shadow memory for new context (it may share stack
  // with current context).
  uptr stack, ssize;
  ReadContextStack(ucp, &stack, &ssize);
  ClearShadowMemoryForContextStack(stack, ssize);
  int res = REAL(swapcontext)(oucp, ucp);
<<<< Need ENDBR here.
  // swapcontext technically does not return, but program may swap context to
  // "oucp" later, that would look as if swapcontext() returned 0.
  // We need to clear shadow for ucp once again, as it may be in arbitrary
  // state.
  ClearShadowMemoryForContextStack(stack, ssize);
  return res;
}</pre>
