Hi Rick,

I have been testing Yu-Cheng's patchsets on AMD hardware and I am
working on testing this version now. How are you testing this new
series? I can partially test by calling the prctl enable for shadow
stack directly from a program, but I'm not sure how useful that's going
to be without the glibc support. Do you have a public repo with the
necessary glibc changes to enable shadow stack early?

Thanks,
John
