[PATCH v5 30/39] x86/shstk: Handle signals for shadow stack

Rick Edgecombe

From: Yu-cheng Yu <yu-cheng.yu@intel.com>

When a signal is handled normally the context is pushed to the stack
before handling it. For shadow stacks, since the shadow stack only track's
return addresses, there isn't any state that needs to be pushed. However,
there are still a few things that need to be done. These things are
userspace visible and which will be kernel ABI for shadow stacks.

One is to make sure the restorer address is written to shadow stack, since
the signal handler (if not changing ucontext) returns to the restorer, and
the restorer calls sigreturn. So add the restorer on the shadow stack
before handling the signal, so there is not a conflict when the signal
handler returns to the restorer.

The other thing to do is to place some type of checkable token on the
thread's shadow stack before handling the signal and check it during
sigreturn. This is an extra layer of protection to hamper attackers
calling sigreturn manually as in SROP-like attacks.

For this token we can use the shadow stack data format defined earlier.
Have the data pushed be the previous SSP. In the future the sigreturn
might want to return back to a different stack. Storing the SSP (instead
of a restore offset or something) allows for future functionality that
may want to restore to a different stack.

So, when handling a signal push
- the SSP pointing in the shadow stack data format
- the restorer address below the restore token.

In sigreturn, verify SSP is stored in the data format and pop the shadow
stack.

v3:
- Drop shstk_setup_rstor_token() (Kees)
- Drop x32 signal support, since x32 support is dropped

v2:
- Switch to new shstk signal format

v1:
- Use xsave helpers.
- Expand commit log.

Yu-cheng v27:
- Eliminate saving shadow stack pointer to signal context.
