x86, arm64 and risc-v support cpu assisted shadow stack. x86 was first one and most of the shadow stack related code is in x86 arch directory. arm64 guarded control stack (GCS) patches from Mark Brown are in -next. There are significant flows which are quite common between all 3 arches: - Enabling is via prctl. - Managing virtual memory for shadow stack handled similarly. - Virtual memory management of shadow stack on clone/fork is similar. This led to obvious discussion many how to merge certain common flows in generic code. Recent one being [1]. Goes without saying having generic code helps with bug management as well (not having to fix same bug for 3 different arches). In that attempt, Mark brown introduced `ARCH_HAS_SHADOW_STACK` as part of arm64 gcs series [2]. This patchset uses same config to move as much as possible common code in generic kernel. Additionaly this patchset introduces wrapper abstractions where arch specific handling is required. I looked at only x86 and risc-v while carving out common code and defining these abstractions. Mark, please take a look at this and point out if arm64 would require something additional (or removal). I've not tested this. Only compiled for x86 with shadow stack enable. Thus this is a RFC and possible looking for some help to test as well on x86.
