[PATCH 3/3] x86/shstk: Add warning for shadow stack double unmap

From: Rick Edgecombe
Date: Fri Sep 08 2023 - 16:38:54 EST


There are several ways a thread's shadow stacks can get unmapped. This
can happen on exit or exec, as well as error handling in exec or clone.
The task struct already keeps track of the thread's shadow stack. Use the
size variable to keep track of if the shadow stack has already been freed.

When an attempt to double unmap the thread shadow stack is caught, warn
about it and abort the operation.
