Subject: [PATCH 0/5] riscv: SCS support

Hi folks,

This series adds Shadow Call Stack (SCS) support for RISC-V. SCS
uses compiler instrumentation to store return addresses in a
separate shadow stack to protect them against accidental or
malicious overwrites. More information about SCS can be found
here:

  https://clang.llvm.org/docs/ShadowCallStack.html

Patch 1 is from Deepak, and it simplifies VMAP_STACK overflow
handling by adding support for accessing per-CPU variables
directly in assembly. The patch is included in this series to
make IRQ stack switching cleaner with SCS, and I've simply
rebased it. Patch 2 uses this functionality to clean up the stack
switching by moving duplicate code into a single function. On
RISC-V, the compiler uses the gp register for storing the current
shadow call stack pointer, which is incompatible with global
pointer relaxation. Patch 3 moves global pointer loading into a
macro that can be easily disabled with SCS. Patch 4 implements
SCS register loading and switching, and allows the feature to be
enabled, and patch 5 adds separate per-CPU IRQ shadow call stacks
when CONFIG_IRQ_STACKS is enabled.

Note that this series requires Clang 17. Earlier Clang versions
support SCS on RISC-V, but use the x18 register instead of gp,
which isn't ideal. gcc has SCS support for arm64, but I'm not
aware of plans to support RISC-V. Once the Zicfiss extension is
ratified, it's probably preferable to use hardware-backed shadow
stacks instead of SCS on hardware that supports the extension,
and we may want to consider implementing CONFIG_DYNAMIC_SCS to
patch between the implementation at runtime (similarly to the
arm64 implementation, which switches to SCS when hardware PAC
support isn't available).
