The Shadow Stack (SHSTK) for clone/fork is handled as the following:
(1) If ((clone_flags & (CLONE_VFORK | CLONE_VM)) == CLONE_VM),
the kernel allocates (and frees on thread exit) a new SHSTK for the
child.
It is possible for the kernel to complete the clone syscall and set the
child's SHSTK pointer to NULL and let the child thread allocate a SHSTK
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 SHSTK.
(2) For (clone_flags & CLONE_VFORK), the child uses the existing SHSTK.
(3) For all other cases, the SHSTK is copied/reused whenever the parent or
the child does a call/ret.
This patch handles cases (1) & (2). Case (3) is handled in the SHSTK page
fault patches.
A 64-bit SHSTK has a fixed size of RLIMIT_STACK. A compat-mode thread SHSTK
has a fixed size of 1/4 RLIMIT_STACK. This allows more threads to share a
32-bit address space.
