From 189af4657186da08a2e79fb8e906cfd82b2ccddc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ard Biesheuvel Date: Thu, 6 Dec 2018 09:32:57 +0100 Subject: ARM: smp: add support for per-task stack canaries On ARM, we currently only change the value of the stack canary when switching tasks if the kernel was built for UP. On SMP kernels, this is impossible since the stack canary value is obtained via a global symbol reference, which means a) all running tasks on all CPUs must use the same value b) we can only modify the value when no kernel stack frames are live on any CPU, which is effectively never. So instead, use a GCC plugin to add a RTL pass that replaces each reference to the address of the __stack_chk_guard symbol with an expression that produces the address of the 'stack_canary' field that is added to struct thread_info. This way, each task will use its own randomized value.
