[PATCH v1 RFC Zisslpcfi 06/20] riscv: Implementing "PROT_SHADOWSTACK" on riscv

Deepak Gupta debug at rivosinc.com
Sun Feb 12 20:53:35 PST 2023


This patchimplements new mmap protection flag "PROT_SHADOWSTACK" on riscv

Zisslpcfi extension on riscv uses R=0, W=1, X=0 as shadow stack PTE
encoding. This encoding is reserved if Zisslpcfi is not implemented or
backward cfi is not enabled for the respective mode.
