Subject: [PATCH v18 12/27] riscv: Implements arch agnostic shadow stack prctls
Date: Fri, 11 Jul 2025 12:46:17 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250711-v5_user_cfi_series-v18-12-a8ee62f9f38e@rivosinc.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250711-v5_user_cfi_series-v18-0-a8ee62f9f38e@rivosinc.com>
Implement architecture agnostic prctls() interface for setting and getting
shadow stack status.
prctls implemented are PR_GET_SHADOW_STACK_STATUS,
PR_SET_SHADOW_STACK_STATUS and PR_LOCK_SHADOW_STACK_STATUS.
As part of PR_SET_SHADOW_STACK_STATUS/PR_GET_SHADOW_STACK_STATUS, only
PR_SHADOW_STACK_ENABLE is implemented because RISCV allows each mode to
write to their own shadow stack using `sspush` or `ssamoswap`.
PR_LOCK_SHADOW_STACK_STATUS locks current configuration of shadow stack
enabling.
