Unlike with the normal stack there is no API for configuring the the shadow
stack for a new thread, instead the kernel will dynamically allocate a new
shadow stack with the same size as the normal stack. This appears to be due
to the shadow stack series having been in development since before the more
extensible clone3() was added rather than anything more deliberate.
Add a paramter to clone3() specifying the shadow stack pointer to use
for the new thread, this is inconsistent with the way we specify the
normal stack but during review concerns were expressed about having to
identify where the shadow stack pointer should be placed especially in
cases where the shadow stack has been previously active. If no shadow
stack is specified then the existing implicit allocation behaviour is
maintained.
If a shadow stack pointer is specified then it is required to have an
architecture defined token placed on the stack, this will be consumed by
the new task. If no valid token is present then this will be reported
with -EINVAL. This token prevents new threads being created pointing at
the shadow stack of an existing running thread.
If the architecture does not support shadow stacks the shadow stack
pointer must be not be specified, architectures that do support the
feature are expected to enforce the same requirement on individual
systems that lack shadow stack support.
Update the existing arm64 and x86 implementations to pay attention to
the newly added arguments, in order to maintain compatibility we use the
existing behaviour if no shadow stack is specified. Since we are now
using more fields from the kernel_clone_args we pass that into the
shadow stack code rather than individual fields.
Portions of the x86 architecture code were written by Rick Edgecombe.
