[PATCH v4 23/30] riscv signal: save and restore of shadow stack for signal
Deepak Gupta

Thu Sep 12 16:16:42 PDT 2024
Save shadow stack pointer in sigcontext structure while delivering signal.
Restore shadow stack pointer from sigcontext on sigreturn.
As part of save operation, kernel uses `ssamoswap` to save snapshot of
current shadow stack on shadow stack itself (can be called as a save
token). During restore on sigreturn, kernel retrieves token from top of
shadow stack and validates it. This allows that user mode can't arbitrary
pivot to any shadow stack address without having a token and thus provide
strong security assurance between signaly delivery and sigreturn window.
