As discussed extensively in the changelog for the addition of this
syscall on x86 ("x86/shstk: Introduce map_shadow_stack syscall") the
existing mmap() and madvise() syscalls do not map entirely well onto the
security requirements for guarded control stacks since they lead to
windows where memory is allocated but not yet protected or stacks which
are not properly and safely initialised. Instead a new syscall
map_shadow_stack() has been defined which allocates and initialises a
shadow stack page.
Implement this for arm64. Two flags are provided, allowing applications
to request that the stack be initialised with a valid cap token at the
top of the stack and optionally also an end of stack marker above that.
We support requesting an end of stack marker alone but since this is a
NULL pointer it is indistinguishable from not initialising anything by
itself.

Implement the architecture neutral prctl() interface for setting the
shadow stack status, this supports setting and reading the current GCS
configuration for the current thread.
Userspace can enable basic GCS functionality and additionally also
support for GCS pushes and arbitrary GCS stores. It is expected that
this prctl() will be called very early in application startup, for
example by the dynamic linker, and not subsequently adjusted during
normal operation. Users should carefully note that after enabling GCS
for a thread GCS will become active with no call stack so it is not
normally possible to return from the function that invoked the prctl().
State is stored per thread, enabling GCS for a thread causes a GCS to be
allocated for that thread.
Userspace may lock the current GCS configuration by specifying
PR_SHADOW_STACK_ENABLE_LOCK, this prevents any further changes to the
GCS configuration via any means.
If GCS is not being enabled then all flags other than _LOCK are ignored,
it is not possible to enable stores or pops without enabling GCS.
When disabling the GCS we do not free the allocated stack, this allows
for inspection of the GCS after disabling as part of fault reporting.
Since it is not an expected use case and since it presents some
complications in determining what to do with previously initialsed data
on the GCS attempts to reenable GCS after this are rejected. This can
be revisted if a use case arises.

When a new thread is created by a thread with GCS enabled the GCS needs
to be specified along with the regular stack.
Unfortunately plain clone() is not extensible and existing clone3()
users will not specify a stack so all existing code would be broken if
we mandated specifying the stack explicitly. For compatibility with
these cases and also x86 (which did not initially implement clone3()
support for shadow stacks) if no GCS is specified we will allocate one
so when a thread is created which has GCS enabled allocate one for it.
We follow the extensively discussed x86 implementation and allocate
min(RLIMIT_STACK/2, 2G). Since the GCS only stores the call stack and not
any variables this should be more than sufficient for most applications.
GCSs allocated via this mechanism will be freed when the thread exits.

There are two registers controlling the GCS state of EL0, GCSPR_EL0 which
is the current GCS pointer and GCSCRE0_EL1 which has enable bits for the
specific GCS functionality enabled for EL0. Manage these on context switch
and process lifetime events, GCS is reset on exec(). Also ensure that
any changes to the GCS memory are visible to other PEs and that changes
from other PEs are visible on this one by issuing a GCSB DSYNC when
moving to or from a thread with GCS.
Since the current GCS configuration of a thread will be visible to
userspace we store the configuration in the format used with userspace
and provide a helper which configures the system register as needed.
On systems that support GCS we always allow access to GCSPR_EL0, this
facilitates reporting of GCS faults if userspace implements disabling of
GCS on error - the GCS can still be discovered and examined even if GCS
has been disabled.
