Will Deacon 871e100e43 scs: Move DEFINE_SCS macro into core code
Defining static shadow call stacks is not architecture-specific, so move
the DEFINE_SCS() macro into the core header file.

Will Deacon 88485be531 scs: Move scs_overflow_check() out of architecture code
There is nothing architecture-specific about scs_overflow_check() as
it's just a trivial wrapper around scs_corrupted().

For parity with task_stack_end_corrupted(), rename scs_corrupted() to
task_scs_end_corrupted() and call it from schedule_debug() when
CONFIG_SCHED_STACK_END_CHECK_is enabled, which better reflects its
purpose as a debug feature to catch inadvertent overflow of the SCS.
Finally, remove the unused scs_overflow_check() function entirely.

This has absolutely no impact on architectures that do not support SCS
(currently arm64 only).

Will Deacon 51189c7a7e arm64: scs: Store absolute SCS stack pointer value in thread_info
Storing the SCS information in thread_info as a {base,offset} pair
introduces an additional load instruction on the ret-to-user path,
since the SCS stack pointer in x18 has to be converted back to an offset
by subtracting the base.

Replace the offset with the absolute SCS stack pointer value instead
and avoid the redundant load.

Sami Tolvanen d08b9f0ca6 scs: Add support for Clang's Shadow Call Stack (SCS)
This change adds generic support for Clang's Shadow Call Stack,
which uses a shadow stack to protect return addresses from being
overwritten by an attacker. Details are available here:

  https://clang.llvm.org/docs/ShadowCallStack.html

Note that security guarantees in the kernel differ from the ones
documented for user space. The kernel must store addresses of
shadow stacks in memory, which means an attacker capable reading
and writing arbitrary memory may be able to locate them and hijack
control flow by modifying the stacks.
