It works by saving a function's return +address to a separately allocated 'shadow call stack' in the function prolog and +checking the return address on the stack against the shadow call stack in the +function epilog. + +Comparison +---------- + +To optimize for memory consumption and cache locality, the shadow call stack +stores an index followed by an array of return addresses. This is in contrast +to other schemes, like :doc:`SafeStack`, that mirror the entire stack and +trade-off consuming more memory for shorter function prologs and epilogs with +fewer memory accesses. Similarly, `Return Flow Guard`_ consumes more memory with +shorter function prologs and epilogs than ShadowCallStack but suffers from the +same race conditions (see `Security`_). Intel `Control-flow Enforcement Technology`_ +(CET) is a proposed hardware extension that would add native support to +use a shadow stack to store/check return addresses at call/return time. It +would not suffer from race conditions at calls and returns and not incur the +overhead of function instrumentation, but it does require operating system +support. + +.. _`Return Flow Guard`: https://xlab.tencent.com/en/2016/11/02/return-flow-guard/ +.. _`Control-flow Enforcement Technology`: https://software.intel.com/sites/default/files/managed/4d/2a/control-flow-enforcement-technology-preview.pdf + +Compatibility +------------- + +ShadowCallStack currently only supports x86_64. A runtime is not currently +provided in compiler-rt so one must be provided by the compiled application. + +Security +======== + +ShadowCallStack is intended to be a stronger alternative to +``-fstack-protector``. It protects from non-linear overflows and arbitrary +memory writes to the return address slot; however, similarly to +``-fstack-protector`` this protection suffers from race conditions because of +the call-return semantics on x86_64. There is a short race between the call +instruction and the first instruction in the function that reads the return +address where an attacker could overwrite the return address and bypass +ShadowCallStack. Similarly, there is a time-of-check-to-time-of-use race in the +function prolog where an attacker could overwrite the return address after it +has been checked and before it has been returned to. Modifying the call-return +semantics to fix this on x86_64 would incur an unacceptable performance overhead +due to return branch prediction. + +The instrumentation makes use of the ``gs`` segment register to reference the +shadow call stack meaning that references to the shadow call stack do not have +to be written to memory. This makes it possible to implement a runtime that is +avoids exposing the address of the shadow call stack to attackers that can read +arbitrary memory. However, attackers could still try to exploit side channels +exposed by the operating system `[1]`_ `[2]`_ or processor `[3]`_ to discover +the address of the shadow call stack. + +.. _`[1]`: https://eyalitkin.wordpress.com/2017/09/01/cartography-lighting-up-the-shadows/ +.. _`[2]`: https://www.blackhat.com/docs/eu-16/materials/eu-16-Goktas-Bypassing-Clangs-SafeStack.pdf +.. _`[3]`: https://www.vusec.net/projects/anc/ + +Usage +===== + +To enable ShadowCallStack, just pass ``-fsanitize=shadow-call-stack`` flag to +both compile and link command lines. + +Low-level API +------------- + +``__has_feature(shadow_call_stack)`` +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +In some cases one may need to execute different code depending on whether +ShadowCallStack is enabled.
