From 9beccca0984022a844850e32f0d7dd80d4a225de Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ard Biesheuvel Date: Thu, 27 Oct 2022 17:59:07 +0200 Subject: scs: add support for dynamic shadow call stacks In order to allow arches to use code patching to conditionally emit the shadow stack pushes and pops, rather than always taking the performance hit even on CPUs that implement alternatives such as stack pointer authentication on arm64, add a Kconfig symbol that can be set by the arch to omit the SCS codegen itself, without otherwise affecting how support code for SCS and compiler options (for register reservation, for instance) are emitted. Also, add a static key and some plumbing to omit the allocation of shadow call stack for dynamic SCS configurations if SCS is disabled at runtime.
