linux-stable.git/arch/riscv/kernel/vdso/note.S, branch linux-rolling-stable Linux kernel stable tree arch/riscv: compile vdso with landing pad and shadow stack note 2026-01-29T09:38:40+00:00 Jim Shu jim.shu@sifive.com 2026-01-26T04:09:56+00:00 37f57bd3faeac92e898c3381355f4fd2b6a80901 User mode tasks compiled with Zicfilp may call indirectly into the vdso (like hwprobe indirect calls). Add support for compiling landing pads into the vdso. Landing pad instructions in the vdso will be no-ops for tasks which have not enabled landing pads. Furthermore, add support for the C sources of the vdso to be compiled with shadow stack and landing pads enabled as well. Landing pad and shadow stack instructions are emitted only when the VDSO_CFI cflags option is defined during compile.
