Why do we need the EL1 GCS attributes to map to RW? The instructions we'd use to write the shadow stack are the GCS 'T' variants that run as user already. The only instructions we have in the kernel that would run as EL1 on a user address are the exclusives (futex code or the old deprecated emulation but we don't care about them in this context). So I wonder whether the kernel PIE entry could simply be PIE_NONE_O. Would this be too restrictive for future uses? Given the coherency between a GCS access and a standard data access, we may want to restrict it now until we have a use-case. -- Catalin
