[PATCH 06/11] mm: Introduce ARCH_HAS_KERNEL_SHADOW_STACK
From: Deepak Gupta
Date: Thu Jul 24 2025 - 19:38:26 EST
commit bcc9d04e74 ("mm: Introduce ARCH_HAS_USER_SHADOW_STACK") introduced
`ARCH_HAS_USER_SHADOW_STACK`. Introducing `ARCH_HAS_KERNEL_SHADOW_STACK`
so that arches can enable hardware assistance for kernel shadow stack.
If `CONFIG_DYNAMIC_SCS` or `CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_KERNEL_SHADOW_STACK` are
selected, skip compiler flag `-fsanitizer=shadow-call-stack`.
