[PATCH v10 20/40] arm64/gcs: Ensure that new threads have a GCS
Mark Brown

When a new thread is created by a thread with GCS enabled the GCS needs
to be specified along with the regular stack. clone3() has been
extended to support this case, allowing userspace to explicitly specify
the size and location of the GCS. The specified GCS must have a valid
GCS token at the top of the stack, as though userspace were pivoting to
the new GCS. This will be consumed on use. At present we do not
atomically consume the token, this will be addressed in a future
revision.
Unfortunately plain clone() is not extensible and existing clone3()
users will not specify a stack so all existing code would be broken if
we mandated specifying the stack explicitly. For compatibility with
these cases and also x86 (which did not initially implement clone3()
support for shadow stacks) if no GCS is specified we will allocate one
so when a thread is created which has GCS enabled allocate one for it.
We follow the extensively discussed x86 implementation and allocate
min(RLIMIT_STACK, 2G). Since the GCS only stores the call stack and not
any variables this should be more than sufficient for most applications.
GCSs allocated via this mechanism will be freed when the thread exits,
those explicitly configured by the user will not.
