[PATCH v24 23/30] x86/cet/shstk: Handle thread shadow stack

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



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.

Use stack_size passed from clone3() syscall for thread shadow stack size,
but cap it to min(RLIMIT_STACK, 4 GB).  A compat-mode thread shadow stack
size is further reduced to 1/4.  This allows more threads to run in a 32-
bit address space.
