Add support for the stackleak feature. Whenever the kernel returns to user space the kernel stack is filled with a poison value. At the same time, disables the plugin in EFI stub code because EFI stub is out of scope for the protection. Tested on qemu and milkv duo: / # echo STACKLEAK_ERASING > /sys/kernel/debug/provoke-crash/DIRECT [ 38.675575] lkdtm: Performing direct entry STACKLEAK_ERASING [ 38.678448] lkdtm: stackleak stack usage: [ 38.678448] high offset: 288 bytes [ 38.678448] current: 496 bytes [ 38.678448] lowest: 1328 bytes [ 38.678448] tracked: 1328 bytes [ 38.678448] untracked: 448 bytes [ 38.678448] poisoned: 14312 bytes [ 38.678448] low offset: 8 bytes [ 38.689887] lkdtm: OK: the rest of the thread stack is properly erased Signed-off-by: Jisheng Zhang <jszhang@kernel.org> Reviewed-by: Charlie Jenkins <charlie@rivosinc.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240623235316.2010-1-jszhang@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Palmer Dabbelt <palmer@rivosinc.com> |

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 reStructuredText 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.
