Pages used for guarded control stacks need to be described to the hardware using the Permission Indirection Extension, GCS is not supported without PIE. In order to support copy on write for guarded stacks we allocate two values, one for active GCSs and one for GCS pages marked as read only prior to copy. Since the actual effect is defined using PIE the specific bit pattern used does not matter to the hardware but we choose two values which differ only in PTE_WRITE in order to help share code with non-PIE cases.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
