[PATCH 0/2] scs: switch to vmapped shadow stacks

From: Sami Tolvanen
Date: Thu Oct 22 2020 - 16:24:06 EST


As discussed a few months ago [1][2], virtually mapped shadow call stacks
are better for safety and robustness. This series dusts off the VMAP
option from the original SCS patch series and switches the kernel to use
virtually mapped shadow stacks unconditionally when SCS is enabled.
