[PATCH v12 24/26] x86/cet/shstk: Handle thread shadow stack
From: Yu-cheng Yu
Date: Fri Sep 18 2020 - 15:24:19 EST
The kernel allocates (and frees on thread exit) a new shadow stack for a
pthread child.
It is possible for the kernel to complete the clone syscall and set the
child's shadow stack pointer to NULL and let the child thread allocate
a shadow stack for itself. There are two issues in this approach: It
is not compatible with existing code that does inline syscall and it
cannot handle signals before the child can successfully allocate a
shadow stack.
A 64-bit shadow stack has a size of min(RLIMIT_STACK, 4 GB). A compat-mode
thread shadow stack has a size of 1/4 min(RLIMIT_STACK, 4 GB). This allows
more threads to run in a 32-bit address space.

v10:
- Limit shadow stack size to 4 GB.
