Subject: [PATCH v20 3/8] selftests: Provide helper header for shadow stack testing
Date: Tue, 02 Sep 2025 11:21:47 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250902-clone3-shadow-stack-v20-3-4d9fff1c53e7@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250902-clone3-shadow-stack-v20-0-4d9fff1c53e7@kernel.org>
While almost all users of shadow stacks should be relying on the dynamic
linker and libc to enable the feature there are several low level test
programs where it is useful to enable without any libc support, allowing
testing without full system enablement. This low level testing is helpful
during bringup of the support itself, and also in enabling coverage by
automated testing without needing all system components in the target root
filesystems to have enablement.
Provide a header with helpers for this purpose, intended for use only by
test programs directly exercising shadow stack interfaces.
