When a signal is handled, the context is pushed to the stack before handling it. For shadow stacks, since the shadow stack only tracks return addresses, there isn't any state that needs to be pushed. However, there are still a few things that need to be done. These things are visible to userspace and which will be kernel ABI for shadow stacks. One is to make sure the restorer address is written to shadow stack, since the signal handler (if not changing ucontext) returns to the restorer, and the restorer calls sigreturn. So add the restorer on the shadow stack before handling the signal, so there is not a conflict when the signal handler returns to the restorer. The other thing to do is to place some type of checkable token on the thread's shadow stack before handling the signal and check it during sigreturn. This is an extra layer of protection to hamper attackers calling sigreturn manually as in SROP-like attacks. For this token the shadow stack data format defined earlier can be used. Have the data pushed be the previous SSP. In the future the sigreturn might want to return back to a different stack. Storing the SSP (instead of a restore offset or something) allows for future functionality that may want to restore to a different stack. So, when handling a signal push - the SSP pointing in the shadow stack data format - the restorer address below the restore token. In sigreturn, verify SSP is stored in the data format and pop the shadow stack.

README
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.
