  1. Fix CSA crashes when compiling for CHERI
  2. Few CSA core improvements
    • Support non-constant offsets to ElementRegion
    • Add provenance bit to LocAsInteger
    • Improve LocAsInt arithmetic support
  3. New checkers
    • cheri.CapabilityCopy Check tag-stripping memory copy.
    • cheri.CheriAPIModelling Model CheriAPI
    • cheri.PointerSizeAssumptions Detect hardcoded expectations on pointer sizes
    • cheri.ProvenanceSource Check expressions with ambiguous provenance source.
    • cheri.SubObjectRepresentability Check for record fields with unrepresentable subobject bounds
    • optin.portability.PointerAlignment Check underaligned pointers
    • alpha.cheri.Allocation (Enable only for development!) Suggest narrowing bounds for escaping suballocation capabilities

Detects tag-stripping loads and stores that
may be used to copy or swap capabilities
Rely on ElementRegion type alignment solely when shift value is unknown

Except for char shifts
ProvenanceSourceChecker, CapabilityCopyChecker, CapabilityAlignmentChecker
Report warning when an underaligned pointer gets converted or
stored as a capability-aligned pointer value for the first time.
Do not report if it already has a strictly-aligned type.
Rework detection of addresses of capability-containing regions and
generic regions (those that are intended to hold arbitrary data)
by analyzing address Symbol type and origin.
