15 * Do not use this anywhere else in the kernel. This is used here because
16 * it provides an arch-agnostic way to grow the stack with correct
17 * alignment. Also, since this use is being explicitly masked to a max of
18 * 10 bits, stack-clash style attacks are unlikely. For more details see
19 * "VLAs" in Documentation/process/deprecated.rst
21 * The normal __builtin_alloca() is initialized with INIT_STACK_ALL (currently
22 * only with Clang and not GCC). Initializing the unused area on each syscall
23 * entry is expensive, and generating an implicit call to memset() may also be
24 * problematic (such as in noinstr functions). Therefore, if the compiler
25 * supports it (which it should if it initializes allocas), always use the
26 * "uninitialized" variant of the builtin.

35 * Use, at most, 10 bits of entropy. We explicitly cap this to keep the
36 * "VLA" from being unbounded (see above). 10 bits leaves enough room for
37 * per-arch offset masks to reduce entropy (by removing higher bits, since
38 * high entropy may overly constrain usable stack space), and for
39 * compiler/arch-specific stack alignment to remove the lower bits.

44 * add_random_kstack_offset - Increase stack utilization by previously
45 * chosen random offset
47 * This should be used in the syscall entry path when interrupts and
48 * preempt are disabled, and after user registers have been stored to
49 * the stack. For testing the resulting entropy, please see:

66 * This should only be used during syscall exit when interrupts and
67 * preempt are disabled. This position in the syscall flow is done to
68 * frustrate attacks from userspace attempting to learn the next offset:
69 * - Maximize the timing uncertainty visible from userspace: if the
70 * offset is chosen at syscall entry, userspace has much more control
71 * over the timing between choosing offsets. "How long will we be in
72 * kernel mode?" tends to be more difficult to predict than "how long
73 * will we be in user mode?"
74 * - Reduce the lifetime of the new offset sitting in memory during
75 * kernel mode execution. Exposure of "thread-local" memory content
76 * (e.g. current, percpu, etc) tends to be easier than arbitrary
77 * location memory exposure.
