This series adds Shadow Call Stack (SCS) support for RISC-V. SCS
uses compiler instrumentation to store return addresses in a
separate shadow stack to protect them against accidental or
malicious overwrites. More information about SCS can be found
here:
https://clang.llvm.org/docs/ShadowCallStack.html
Patch 1 is from Deepak, and it simplifies VMAP_STACK overflow
handling by adding support for accessing per-CPU variables
directly in assembly. The patch is included in this series to
make IRQ stack switching cleaner with SCS, and I've simply
rebased it and fixed a couple of minor issues. Patch 2 uses this
functionality to clean up the stack switching by moving duplicate
code into a single function. On RISC-V, the compiler uses the
gp register for storing the current shadow call stack pointer,
which is incompatible with global pointer relaxation. Patch 3
moves global pointer loading into a macro that can be easily
disabled with SCS. Patch 4 implements SCS register loading and
switching, and allows the feature to be enabled, and patch 5 adds
separate per-CPU IRQ shadow call stacks when CONFIG_IRQ_STACKS is
enabled. Patch 6 fixes the backward-edge CFI test in lkdtm for
RISC-V.
Note that this series requires Clang 17. Earlier Clang versions
support SCS on RISC-V, but use the x18 register instead of gp,
which isn't ideal. gcc has SCS support for arm64, but I'm not
aware of plans to support RISC-V. Once the Zicfiss extension is
ratified, it's probably preferable to use hardware-backed shadow
stacks instead of SCS on hardware that supports the extension,
and we may want to consider implementing CONFIG_DYNAMIC_SCS to
patch between the implementation at runtime (similarly to the
arm64 implementation, which switches to SCS when hardware PAC
support isn't available).
