Subject: [PATCH v2 1/2] scs: switch to vmapped shadow stacks
Date: Tue, 24 Nov 2020 11:59:39 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20201124195940.27061-2-samitolvanen@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20201124195940.27061-1-samitolvanen@google.com>

The kernel currently uses kmem_cache to allocate shadow call stacks,
which means an overflows may not be immediately detected and can
potentially result in another task's shadow stack to be overwritten.

This change switches SCS to use virtually mapped shadow stacks for
tasks, which increases shadow stack size to a full page and provides
more robust overflow detection, similarly to VMAP_STACK.
