Thanks for adding these. One suggestion/question below.
================
Comment at: llvm/docs/Lexicon.rst:60
+ Control Flow Integrity. A general term for computer security techniques
+ that prevent a wide variety of malware attacks from redirecting the flow
----------------
I can't find any other examples in this file of where an abbreviation has 2 possible definitions, so there doesn't seem to be any existing convention. I wonder if this case should look like:
```
**CFI**
Either:
Call Frame Information...
Or:
Control Flow Integrity...
```
or something similar, to make it clearer that there are 2 definitions being listed. wdyt?
