Shadow Stack provides protection against function return address corruption. It is active when the processor supports it, the kernel has CONFIG_X86_SHADOW_STACK_USER, and the application is built for the feature. This is only implemented for the 64-bit kernel. When it is enabled, legacy non-shadow stack applications continue to work, but without protection. Signed-off-by: Yu-cheng Yu <redacted> v13: - Update help text, and change default to N. - Change X86_INTEL_* to X86_*. v10: - Change SHSTK to shadow stack in the help text. - Change build-time check to config-time check. - Change ARCH_HAS_SHSTK to ARCH_HAS_SHADOW_STACK. --- arch/x86/Kconfig | 33 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++ scripts/as-x86_64-has-shadow-stack.sh | 4 ++++ 2 files changed, 37 insertions(+) create mode 100755 scripts/as-x86_64-has-shadow-stack.sh
