[PATCH v3] ARM: smp: add support for per-task stack canaries
From: Ard Biesheuvel
Date: Thu Dec 06 2018 - 03:36:10 EST
On ARM, we currently only change the value of the stack canary when
switching tasks if the kernel was built for UP. On SMP kernels, this
is impossible since the stack canary value is obtained via a global
symbol reference, which means
a) all running tasks on all CPUs must use the same value
b) we can only modify the value when no kernel stack frames are live
on any CPU, which is effectively never.
So instead, use a GCC plugin to add a RTL pass that replaces each
reference to the address of the __stack_chk_guard symbol with an
expression that produces the address of the 'stack_canary' field
that is added to struct thread_info. This way, each task will use
its own randomized value.

v3:
- enable the feature automatically if CONFIG_STACKPROTECTOR and
CONFIG_GCC_PLUGINS are both enabled
- move the stack canary to the front of struct thread_info so it shares
a cacheline with the flags, preempt_count and task pointer members
- fix incorrect reference to task_struct::stack_canary in previous
version

+ Due to the fact that GCC uses an ordinary symbol reference from

+ change at reboot time on SMP systems, and all tasks running in the

+ Enable this option to switch to a different method that uses a
+ different canary value for each task.
