The kernel currently uses kmem_cache to allocate shadow call stacks, which means an overflows may not be immediately detected and can potentially result in another task's shadow stack to be overwritten. This change switches SCS to use virtually mapped shadow stacks for tasks, which increases shadow stack size to a full page and provides more robust overflow detection, similarly to VMAP_STACK.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
