[RFC PATCH 0/5] Update selftests/x86 for CET

From: Yu-cheng Yu
Date: Thu May 21 2020 - 17:17:39 EST


When CET is enabled for selftests/x86, two tests need updates.

- The test 'sigreturn_64' does a sigreturn() from a 64-bit context into a
32-bit context. The task's 64-bit shadow stack pointer certainly
triggers a fault. Fix it by allocating and switching to a new shadow
stack in the 32-bit address range.

The arch_ptrcl(ARCH_X86_CET_ALLOC_SHSTK) is updated for taking a bit from
the input parameter to indicate the desire of MAP_32BIT. I am proposing
this change to minimize API changes, but open to any alternatives.

- The test 'sysret_rip' fails because the assembly code needs ENDBR
opcodes. Fix it by adding just that. My latest CET submission (v10)
does not include the IBT patches. My purpose of posting this now is to
show the changes needed in x86 tests. Since ENDBR is nop when IBT is not
enabled, this patch can be applied now or split out and merged with the
IBT patches.

- The makefile changes add "-fcf-protection -mshstk" to the gcc command,
when those are available.

- Introduce cet_quick_test that checks the system's CET capabilities.

This series is based on my CET series:
