Implement CONFIG_SHADOW_CALL_STACK for RISC-V. When enabled, the compiler injects instructions to all non-leaf C functions to store the return address to the shadow stack and unconditionally load it again before returning, which makes it harder to corrupt the return address through a stack overflow, for example. The active shadow call stack pointer is stored in the gp register, which makes SCS incompatible with gp relaxation. Use --no-relax-gp to ensure gp relaxation is disabled and disable global pointer loading. Add SCS pointers to struct thread_info, implement SCS initialization, and task switching Signed-off-by: Sami Tolvanen <samitolvanen@google.com> Tested-by: Nathan Chancellor <nathan@kernel.org> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20230927224757.1154247-12-samitolvanen@google.com Signed-off-by: Palmer Dabbelt <palmer@rivosinc.com>
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 Restructured Text 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.
