    Subject[PATCH v10 00/12] add support for Clang's Shadow Call Stack
    From
    This patch series adds support for Clang's Shadow Call Stack
    (SCS) mitigation, which uses a separately allocated shadow stack
    to protect against return address overwrites. More information
    can be found here:

    https://clang.llvm.org/docs/ShadowCallStack.html

    SCS provides better protection against traditional buffer
    overflows than CONFIG_STACKPROTECTOR_*, but it should be noted
    that SCS security guarantees in the kernel differ from the ones
    documented for user space. The kernel must store addresses of
    shadow stacks used by inactive tasks and interrupt handlers in
    memory, which means an attacker capable reading and writing
    arbitrary memory may be able to locate them and hijack control
    flow by modifying shadow stacks that are not currently in use.

    SCS is currently supported only on arm64, where the compiler
    requires the x18 register to be reserved for holding the current
    task's shadow stack pointer.

    With -fsanitize=shadow-call-stack, the compiler injects
    instructions to all non-leaf C functions to store the return
    address to the shadow stack, and unconditionally load it again
    before returning. As a result, SCS is currently incompatible
    with features that rely on modifying function return addresses
    in the kernel stack to alter control flow. A copy of the return
    address is still kept in the kernel stack for compatibility with
    stack unwinding, for example.

    SCS has a minimal performance overhead, but allocating
    shadow stacks increases kernel memory usage. The feature is
    therefore mostly useful on hardware that lacks support for PAC
    instructions.

    Changes in v10:
    - Removed an unnecessary <asm/scs.h> include from head.S.

    Changes in v9:
    - Fixed grammar in the Kconfig help text.
    - Changed Kconfig to allow SCS to be selected with the patchable-
    function-entry graph tracer.
    - Changed the EFI stub patch to not filter out -ffixed-x18, only
    SCS flags.

    Changes in v8:
    - Added __noscs to __hyp_text instead of filtering SCS flags from
    the entire arch/arm64/kvm/hyp directory.
    - Added a patch to filter out -ffixed-x18 and SCS flags from the
    EFI stub.

    Changes in v7:
    - Changed irq_stack_entry/exit to store the shadow stack pointer
    in x24 instead of x20 as kernel_entry uses x20-x23 to store
    data that can be used later. Updated the comment as well.
    - Changed the Makefile in arch/arm64/kvm/hyp to also filter out
    -ffixed-x18.
    - Changed SHADOW_CALL_STACK to depend on !FUNCTION_GRAPH_TRACER
    instead of not selecting HAVE_FUNCTION_GRAPH_TRACER with SCS.
    - Removed ifdefs from the EFI wrapper and updated the comment to
    explain why we are restoring x18.
    - Rebased as Ard's x18 patches that were part of this series have
    already been merged.

    Changes in v6:
    - Updated comment in the EFI RT wrapper to include the
    explanation from the commit message.
    - Fixed the SHADOW_CALL_STACK_VMAP config option and the
    compilation errors in scs_init_irq()
    - Updated the comment in entry.S to Mark's suggestion
    - Fixed the WARN_ON in scs_init() to trip only when the return
    value for cpuhp_setup_state() is < 0.
    - Removed ifdefs from the code in arch/arm64/kernel/scs.c and
    added separate shadow stacks for the SDEI handler

    Changes in v5:
    - Updated the comment in __scs_base() to Mark's suggestion
    - Changed all instances of uintptr_t to unsigned long
    - Added allocation poisoning for KASAN to catch unintentional
    shadow stack accesses; moved set_set_magic before poisoning
    and switched scs_used() and scs_corrupted() to access the
    buffer using READ_ONCE_NOCHECK() instead
    - Changed scs_free() to check for NULL instead of zero
    - Renamed SCS_CACHE_SIZE to NR_CACHED_SCS
    - Added a warning if cpuhp_setup_state fails in scs_init()
    - Dropped patches disabling kretprobes after confirming there's
    no functional conflict with SCS instrumentation
    - Added an explanation to the commit message why function graph
    tracing and SCS are incompatible
    - Removed the ifdefs from arch/arm64/mm/proc.S and added
    comments explaining why we are saving and restoring x18
    - Updated scs_check_usage format to include process information

    Changes in v4:
    - Fixed authorship for Ard's patches
    - Added missing commit messages
    - Commented code that clears SCS from thread_info
    - Added a comment about SCS_END_MAGIC being non-canonical

    Changes in v3:
    - Switched to filter-out for removing SCS flags in Makefiles
    - Changed the __noscs attribute to use __no_sanitize__("...")
    instead of no_sanitize("...")
    - Cleaned up inline function definitions and moved task_scs()
    into a macro
    - Cleaned up scs_free() and scs_magic()
    - Moved SCS initialization into dup_task_struct() and removed
    the now unused scs_task_init()
    - Added comments to __scs_base() and scs_task_reset() to better
    document design choices
    - Changed copy_page to make the offset and bias explicit

    Changes in v2:
    - Changed Ard's KVM patch to use x29 instead of x18 for the
    guest context, which makes restore_callee_saved_regs cleaner
    - Updated help text (and commit messages) to point out
    differences in security properties compared to user space SCS
    - Cleaned up config options: removed the ROP protection choice,
    replaced the CC_IS_CLANG dependency with an arch-specific
    cc-option test, and moved disabling of incompatible config
    options to an arch-specific Kconfig
    - Added CC_FLAGS_SCS, which are filtered out where needed
    instead of using DISABLE_SCS
    - Added a __has_feature guard around __noscs for older clang
    versions
