Subject[PATCH 00/18] add support for Clang's Shadow Call Stack
From
This patch series adds support for Clang's Shadow Call Stack (SCS)
mitigation, which uses a separately allocated shadow stack to protect
against return address overwrites. More information can be found here:

https://clang.llvm.org/docs/ShadowCallStack.html

SCS is currently supported only on arm64, where the compiler requires
the x18 register to be reserved for holding the current task's shadow
stack pointer. Because of this, the series includes four patches from
Ard to remove x18 usage from assembly code and to reserve the register
from general allocation.

With -fsanitize=shadow-call-stack, 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. As a result,
SCS is incompatible with features that rely on modifying function
return addresses to alter control flow, such as function graph tracing
and kretprobes. A copy of the return address is still kept in the
kernel stack for compatibility with stack unwinding, for example.

SCS has a minimal performance overhead, but allocating shadow stacks
increases kernel memory usage. The feature is therefore mostly useful
on hardware that lacks support for PAC instructions. This series adds
a ROP protection choice to the kernel configuration, where other
return address protection options can be selected as they are added to
the kernel.
