Subject: [PATCH v3 0/4] arm64, riscv: release shadow stacks on failed fork
Date: Wed, 28 Oct 2026 12:43:11 -0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261028154315.1272705-1-ivanrwcm25@gmail.com> (raw)
clone3(CLONE_VM|CLONE_PIDFD) can fail in put_user() after copy_thread()
has mapped a shadow stack into the shared mm. copy_process() then calls
exit_thread(). arm64 and riscv did not implement it, so the VMA leaked.
x86 already frees via exit_thread() -> shstk_free(). Its separate TLS
leak is when copy_thread() fails after the alloc and skips exit_thread().
Changes since v2:
- Move gcs_reset_thread() into process.c (Mark Brown).
- Spell out the x86 vs arm64/riscv difference above.
v2: https://lore.kernel.org/all/cover.1792519121.git.ivanrwcm25@gmail.com/
