Subject: Re: [PATCH RFT v4 0/5] fork: Support shadow stacks in clone3()

rr (https://rr-project.org) records program execution and then reruns
it with exactly the same behavior (down to memory contents and
register values). To replay clone() etc in an application using shadow
stacks, we'll need to be able to ensure the shadow stack is mapped at
the same address during the replay run as during the recording run. We
ptrace the replay tasks and have the ability to execute arbitrary
syscalls in them. It sounds like we might be able to make this work by
overriding clone_args::shadow_stack_size to zero in the call to
clone3(), instead having the replay task call map_shadow_stack() to
put the the shadow stack in the right place, and then setting its SSP
via ptrace. Will that work?

Thanks,
Rob
