Subject: [PATCH v2 2/2] arm64: Stash shadow stack pointer in the task struct on interrupt
Date: Mon,  9 Jan 2023 18:48:00 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230109174800.3286265-3-ardb@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20230109174800.3286265-1-ardb@kernel.org>

Instead of reloading the shadow call stack pointer from the ordinary
stack, which may be vulnerable to the kind of gadget based attacks
shadow call stacks were designed to prevent, let's store a task's shadow
call stack pointer in the task struct when switching to the shadow IRQ
stack.

Given that currently, the task_struct::scs_sp field is only used to
preserve the shadow call stack pointer while a task is scheduled out or
running in user space, reusing this field to preserve and restore it
while running off the IRQ stack must be safe, as those occurrences are
guaranteed to never overlap. (The stack switching logic only switches
stacks when running from the task stack, and so the value being saved
here always corresponds to the task mode shadow stack)

While at it, fold a mov/add/mov sequence into a single add.
