Note that there's also a call to scs_save in cpu_die, because the current task's shadow stack pointer is only stored in x18 and we don't want to lose it. > We just need to add a TSK_TI_SCS to asm-offsets.c, and then insert a > single LDR at the end: > > mov sp, x9 > msr sp_el0, x1 > #ifdef CONFIG_SHADOW_CALL_STACK > ldr x18, [x1, TSK_TI_SCS] > #endif > ret TSK_TI_SCS is already defined, so yes, we could move this to cpu_switch_to. I would still prefer to have the overflow check that's in scs_thread_switch though. Sami
