Resetting oucp's stack to zero in swapcontext interception is incorrect,
since it breaks ucp cleanup after swapcontext returns in some cases:
Say we have two contexts, A and B, and we swapcontext from A to B, do
some work on Bs stack and then swapcontext back from B to A. At this
point shadow memory of Bs stack is in arbitrary state, but since we
can't know whether B will ever swapcontext-ed to again we clean up it's
shadow memory, because otherwise it remains poisoned and blows in
completely unrelated places when heap-allocated memory of Bs context
gets reused later (see https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/58633
for example). swapcontext prototype is swapcontext(ucontext* oucp,
ucontext* ucp), so in this example A is oucp and B is ucp, and i refer
to the process of cleaning up Bs shadow memory as ucp cleanup.
About how it breaks:
Take the same example with A and B: when we swapcontext back from B to A
the oucp parameter of swapcontext is actually B, and current trunk
resets its stack in a way that it becomes "uncleanupable" later. It
works fine if we do A->B->A, but if we do A->B->A->B->A no cleanup is
performed for Bs stack after B "returns" to A second time. That's
exactly what happens in the test i provided, and it's actually a pretty
common real world scenario.
Instead of resetting oucp's we make use of uc_stack.ss_flags to mark
context as "cleanup-able" by storing stack specific hash. It should be
safe since this field is not used in [get|make|swap]context functions
and is hopefully never meaningfully used in real-world scenarios (and i
haven't seen any).
