Subject: [RFC][PATCH v2 21/21] x86/pti: Use a different stack canary with the user and kernel page-table
Using stack protector requires the stack canary to be mapped into
the current page-table. Now that the page-table switch between the
user and kernel page-table is deferred to C code, stack protector can
be used while the user page-table is active and so the stack canary
is mapped into the user page-table.
To prevent leaking the stack canary used with the kernel page-table,
use a different canary with the user and kernel page-table. The stack
canary is changed when switching the page-table.

+ * Functions to set the stack canary to the kernel or user value:
+ *
+ * The kernel stack canary should be used when running with the kernel
+ * page-table, and the user stack canary should be used when running
+ * with the user page-table. Also the kernel stack canary should not
+ * leak to the user page-table.
+ *
+ * So the stack canary should be set to the kernel value when entering
+ * the kernel from userspace *after* switching to the kernel page-table.
+ * And the stack canary should be set to the user value when returning
+ * to userspace *before* switching to the user page-table.
+ *
+ * In both cases, there is a window (between the page-table switch and
+ * the stack canary setting) where we will be running with the kernel
+ * page-table and the user stack canary. This window should be as small
+ * as possible and, ideally, it should:
+ * - not call functions which require the stack protector to be used;
+ * - have interrupt disabled to prevent interrupt handlers from being
+ * processed with the user stack canary (but there is nothing we can
+ * do for NMIs).
