Subject: [PATCH RFT v17 1/8] arm64/gcs: Return a success value from gcs_alloc_thread_stack()
Date: Mon, 09 Jun 2025 13:54:02 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250609-clone3-shadow-stack-v17-1-8840ed97ff6f@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250609-clone3-shadow-stack-v17-0-8840ed97ff6f@kernel.org>
Currently as a result of templating from x86 code gcs_alloc_thread_stack()
returns a pointer as an unsigned int however on arm64 we don't actually use
this pointer value as anything other than a pass/fail flag. Simplify the
interface to just return an int with 0 on success and a negative error code
on failure.
