+# Apply protection against ROP/JOP attacks for aarch64 on asm_trampoline.S
+#
+# The BTI flag must be applied in the assembler sources for this class
+# of attacks to be mitigated on newer aarch64 processors.
+#
+# Upstream PR: https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/130864/files
+#
+# The upstream patch is incomplete but only for the case where
+# frame pointers are not used on 3.13+.
+#
+# Since on Fedora we always compile with frame pointers the BTI/PAC
+# hardware protections can be enabled without losing Perf unwinding.
