Subject: [PATCH v22 11/28] riscv/shstk: If needed allocate a new shadow stack on clone
Date: Wed, 22 Oct 2025 16:29:37 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251022-v5_user_cfi_series-v22-11-fdaa7e4022aa@rivosinc.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251022-v5_user_cfi_series-v22-0-fdaa7e4022aa@rivosinc.com>

Userspace specifies CLONE_VM to share address space and spawn new thread.
`clone` allow userspace to specify a new stack for new thread. However
there is no way to specify new shadow stack base address without changing
API. This patch allocates a new shadow stack whenever CLONE_VM is given.

In case of CLONE_VFORK, parent is suspended until child finishes and thus
can child use parent shadow stack. In case of !CLONE_VM, COW kicks in
because entire address space is copied from parent to child.

`clone3` is extensible and can provide mechanisms using which shadow stack
as an input parameter can be provided. This is not settled yet and being
extensively discussed on mailing list. Once that's settled, this commit
will adapt to that.
