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.
