Let's say there is a pre-CFI program running on this kernel. It receives a signal so the kernel lays out the sig-stack as presented in this structure. If the program accesses sc_fpregs, it would now get sc_cfi_state. As the offset has changed, and the pre-CFI program has not been re-compiled. > union { > union __riscv_fp_state sc_fpregs; > struct __riscv_extra_ext_header sc_extdesc; > -- > 2.43.2 > There may be two ways to deal with this. One is to use a different signal ABI for CFI-enabled programs. This may complicate the user space because new programs will have to determine whether it should use the CFI-ABI at run time. Another way is to follow what Vector does for signal stack. It adds a way to introduce new extensions on signal stack without impacting ABI. Please let me know if I misunderstand anything, thanks. Cheers, Andy

Shadow stack needs to be saved and restored on signal delivery and signal return. sigcontext embedded in ucontext is extendible. Adding cfi state in there which can be used to save cfi state before signal delivery and restore cfi state on sigreturn Signed-off-by: Deepak Gupta <debug@rivosinc.com> --- arch/riscv/include/uapi/asm/sigcontext.h | 5 +++++ 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+)
