The kernel has recently added support for shadow stacks, currently x86 only using their CET feature but both arm64 and RISC-V have equivalent features (GCS and Zicfiss respectively), I am actively working on GCS[1]. With shadow stacks the hardware maintains an additional stack containing only the return addresses for branch instructions which is not generally writeable by userspace and ensures that any returns are to the recorded addresses. This provides some protection against ROP attacks and making it easier to collect call stacks. These shadow stacks are allocated in the address space of the userspace process.
Our API for shadow stacks does not currently offer userspace any flexiblity for managing the allocation of shadow stacks for newly created threads, instead the kernel allocates a new shadow stack with the same size as the normal stack whenever a thread is created with the feature enabled. The stacks allocated in this way are freed by the kernel when the thread exits or shadow stacks are disabled for the thread. This lack of flexibility and control isn't ideal, in the vast majority of cases the shadow stack will be over allocated and the implicit allocation and deallocation is not consistent with other interfaces. As far as I can tell the interface is done in this manner mainly because the shadow stack patches were in development since before clone3() was implemented.
Since clone3() is readily extensible let's add support for specifying a shadow stack when creating a new thread or process in a similar manner to how the normal stack is specified, keeping the current implicit allocation behaviour if one is not specified either with clone3() or through the use of clone(). The user must provide a shadow stack address and size, this must point to memory mapped for use as a shadow stackby map_shadow_stack() with a shadow stack token at the top of the stack.
Please note that the x86 portions of this code are build tested only, I don't appear to have a system that can run CET avaible to me, I have done testing with an integration into my pending work for GCS. There is some possibility that the arm64 implementation may require the use of clone3() and explicit userspace allocation of shadow stacks, this is still under discussion.
Please further note that the token consumption done by clone3() is not currently implemented in an atomic fashion, Rick indicated that he would look into fixing this if people are OK with the implementation.
A new architecture feature Kconfig option for shadow stacks is added as here, this was suggested as part of the review comments for the arm64 GCS series and since we need to detect if shadow stacks are supported it seemed sensible to roll it in here.

Best regards,
There are a number of architectures with shadow stack features which we are presenting to userspace with as consistent an API as we can (though there are some architecture specifics). Especially given that there are some important considerations for userspace code interacting directly with the feature let's provide some documentation covering the common aspects.

While almost all users of shadow stacks should be relying on the dynamic linker and libc to enable the feature there are several low level test programs where it is useful to enable without any libc support, allowing testing without full system enablement. This low level testing is helpful during bringup of the support itself, and also in enabling coverage by automated testing without needing all system components in the target root filesystems to have enablement.
Provide a header with helpers for this purpose, intended for use only by test programs directly exercising shadow stack interfaces.

Unlike with the normal stack there is no API for configuring the the shadow stack for a new thread, instead the kernel will dynamically allocate a new shadow stack with the same size as the normal stack. This appears to be due to the shadow stack series having been in development since before the more extensible clone3() was added rather than anything more deliberate.
Add parameters to clone3() specifying the location and size of a shadow stack for the newly created process. If no shadow stack is specified then the existing implicit allocation behaviour is maintained.
If a stack is specified then it is required to have an architecture defined token placed on the stack, this will be consumed by the new task. If the token is not provided then this will be reported as a segmentation fault with si_code SEGV_CPERR, as a runtime shadow stack protection error would be. This allows architectures to implement the validation of the token in the child process context.
If the architecture does not support shadow stacks the shadow stack parameters must be zero, architectures that do support the feature are expected to enforce the same requirement on individual systems that lack shadow stack support.
Update the existing x86 implementation to pay attention to the newly added arguments, in order to maintain compatibility we use the existing behaviour if no shadow stack is specified. Minimal validation is done of the supplied parameters, detailed enforcement is left to when the thread is executed. Since we are now using more fields from the kernel_clone_args we pass that into the shadow stack code rather than individual fields.
At present this implementation does not consume the shadow stack token atomically as would be desirable, it uses a separate read and write.

Since there were widespread issues with output not being flushed the kselftest framework was modified to explicitly set the output streams unbuffered in commit 58e2847ad2e6 ("selftests: line buffer test program's stdout") so there is no need to explicitly flush in the clone3 tests.

In order to make it easier to add more configuration for the tests and more support for runtime detection of when tests can be run pass the structure describing the tests into test_clone3() rather than picking the arguments out of it and have that function do all the per-test work.
No functional change.

In order to improve diagnostics and allow tests to explicitly look for signals check to see if the child exited due to a signal and if it did print the code and return it as a positive value, distinct from the negative errnos currently returned.

The clone_args structure is extensible, with the syscall passing in the length of the structure. Inside the kernel we use copy_struct_from_user() to read the struct but this has the unfortunate side effect of silently accepting some overrun in the structure size providing the extra data is all zeros. This means that we can't discover the clone3() features that the running kernel supports by simply probing with various struct sizes. We need to check this for the benefit of test systems which run newer kselftests on old kernels.
Add a flag which can be set on a test to indicate that clone3() may return -E2BIG due to the use of newer struct versions. Currently no tests need this but it will become an issue for testing clone3() support for shadow stacks, the support for shadow stacks is already present on x86.

Add basic test coverage for specifying the shadow stack for a newly created thread via clone3(), including coverage of the newly extended argument structure. We check that a user specified shadow stack can be provided, and that invalid combinations of parameters are rejected.
In order to facilitate testing on systems without userspace shadow stack support we manually enable shadow stacks on startup, this is architecture specific due to the use of an arch_prctl() on x86. Due to interactions with potential userspace locking of features we actually detect support for shadow stacks on the running system by attempting to allocate a shadow stack page during initialisation using map_shadow_stack(), warning if this succeeds when the enable failed.
In order to allow testing of user configured shadow stacks on architectures with that feature we need to ensure that we do not return from the function where the clone3() syscall is called in the child process, doing so would trigger a shadow stack underflow. To do this we use inline assembly rather than the standard syscall wrapper to call clone3(). In order to avoid surprises we also use a syscall rather than the libc exit() function., this should be overly cautious.
