Ah, I see. The plan is to hardcode the signatures in assembly code and
keep them manually in sync with C code. When we implemented KCFI, we
thought this would become extremely tedious to maintain after a while.
Do you have any plans to add KCFI-style __kcfi_typeid_<function> symbols
that would allow labels to be determined from C type signatures instead?
