[PATCH v7 21/39] arm64/gcs: Allocate a new GCS for threads with GCS enabled
From: Mark Brown
Date: Wed Nov 22 2023 - 04:46:43 EST
When a new thread is created by a thread with GCS enabled the GCS needs
to be specified along with the regular stack. clone3() has been
extended to support this case, allowing userspace to explicitly request
the size for the GCS to be created, but plain clone() is not extensible
and existing clone3() users will not specify a size.
For compatibility with these cases and also x86 (which did not initially
implement clone3() support for shadow stacks) if no GCS is specified we
will allocate one thread so when a thread is created which has GCS
enabled allocate one for it. We follow the extensively discussed x86
implementation and allocate min(RLIMIT_STACK, 4G). Since the GCS only
stores the call stack and not any variables this should be more than
sufficient for most applications.
GCSs allocated via this mechanism then it will be freed when the thread
exits.
