Instead of reloading the shadow call stack pointer from the ordinary stack, which may be vulnerable to the kind of gadget based attacks shadow call stacks were designed to prevent, let's store a task's shadow call stack pointer in the task struct when switching to the shadow IRQ stack. Given that currently, the task_struct::scs_sp field is only used to preserve the shadow call stack pointer while a task is scheduled out or running in user space, reusing this field to preserve and restore it while running off the IRQ stack must be safe, as those occurrences are guaranteed to never overlap. (The stack switching logic only switches stacks when running from the task stack, and so the value being saved here always corresponds to the task mode shadow stack) While at it, fold a mov/add/mov sequence into a single add.

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.
