commit 2198d07c509f1db4a1185d1f65aaada794c6ea59 upstream. All occurrences of the scs_load macro load the value of the shadow call stack pointer from the task which is current at that point. So instead of taking a task struct register argument in the scs_load macro to specify the task struct to load from, let's always reference the current task directly. This should make it much harder to exploit any instruction sequences reloading the shadow call stack pointer register from memory.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
