Unlike with the normal stack there is no API for configuring the the shadow stack for a new thread, instead the kernel will dynamically allocate a new shadow stack with the same size as the normal stack. This appears to be due to the shadow stack series having been in development since before the more extensible clone3() was added rather than anything more deliberate.
Add parameters to clone3() specifying the location and size of a shadow stack for the newly created process. If no shadow stack is specified then the existing implicit allocation behaviour is maintained.
If a stack is specified then it is required to have an architecture defined token placed on the stack, this will be consumed by the new task. If the token is not provided then this will be reported as a segmentation fault with si_code SEGV_CPERR, as a runtime shadow stack protection error would be. This allows architectures to implement the validation of the token in the child process context.
If the architecture does not support shadow stacks the shadow stack parameters must be zero, architectures that do support the feature are expected to enforce the same requirement on individual systems that lack shadow stack support.
Update the existing x86 implementation to pay attention to the newly added arguments, in order to maintain compatibility we use the existing behaviour if no shadow stack is specified. Minimal validation is done of the supplied parameters, detailed enforcement is left to when the thread is executed. Since we are now using more fields from the kernel_clone_args we pass that into the shadow stack code rather than individual fields.
At present this implementation does not consume the shadow stack token atomically as would be desirable, it uses a separate read and write.
