stack_canary.rs

//! Per-Thread Stack Canary Management
//!
//! Provides stack smashing detection via per-thread random canary values.
//! Each thread receives a unique 64-bit canary generated from an xorshift64
//! PRNG seeded by architecture-specific entropy. The canary is placed at
//! a known location on the thread's stack and verified periodically or on
//! context switch.
//!
//! # Design
//!
//! - **CANARY_TABLE**: `RwLock<BTreeMap<u64, u64>>` mapping thread ID to its
//!   canary value. Protected by RwLock for concurrent read access during
//!   verification with exclusive write access for registration.
//!
//! - **Canary generation**: Uses xorshift64 PRNG seeded from hardware entropy
//!   (RDRAND/TSC on x86_64, CNTPCT on AArch64, cycle on RISC-V).
//!
//! - **Detection**: On canary mismatch, the kernel panics with "stack smashing
//!   detected" to prevent exploitation.
//!
//! # Usage
//!
//! ```ignore
//! // During thread creation:
//! let canary = stack_canary::generate_canary();
//! stack_canary::set_thread_canary(tid, canary);
//! // Write canary to thread's stack guard location...
//!
//! // During context switch or verification:
//! stack_canary::check_canary(tid);  // panics on mismatch
//! ```
