It can be done separately. It doesn't look like x86 has such checks. Adding it generically would be a slight ABI tightening but I doubt it matters, no sane software would use an executable shadow stack. > > Regarding VM_SHARED, how do we even end up with this via the > > map_shadow_stack() syscall?

BTI is separate to PIE. My thoughts were whether we can get rid of this hunk entirely by handling it in the core code. We'd allow BTI if one wants such useless combination but clear VM_MAYEXEC in the core code (and ignore VM_SHARED since you can't set it anyway). -- Catalin _______________________________________________ linux-riscv mailing list linux-riscv@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-riscv
