[RFC,06/12] scs: place init shadow stack in .shadowstack section

Commit Message

Deepak Gupta April 9, 2024, 6:10 a.m. UTC

If compiled for riscv and dynamic scs is turned on, place shadow stack in
`.shadowstack` section. Arch specific linker script can place logic to
protect this section against regular stores.
