map_shadow_stack
Implemented in Antinomie 0.7.0 · Syscall list
Synopsis
Section titled “Synopsis”long map_shadow_stack(unsigned long addr, unsigned long size, unsigned int flags);| Number (x86-64) | 453 |
| ABI | common |
| Kernel entry point | sys_map_shadow_stack |
This is the raw kernel prototype from the pinned Linux 6.12.94 schema, not the libc wrapper.
Description
Section titled “Description”Allocates a shadow stack, the hardware-protected stack for return addresses.
Arguments
Section titled “Arguments”| Name | Type | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
addr (arg0) |
unsigned long |
Memory or socket address, depending on the call. |
size (arg1) |
unsigned long |
Size in bytes. |
flags (arg2) |
unsigned int |
Option flags that change the behavior of the call. |
Return value
Section titled “Return value”On success: the address of the new shadow stack.
In an Antinomie trace the Return column and the ret filter field show the raw kernel return value. On failure that is the negative errno, for example -2 for ENOENT, not the -1 plus errno that the libc wrapper gives. syscall.errno holds the positive errno and syscall.success is false.
Common errors
Section titled “Common errors”| Raw return | Name | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
-22 |
EINVAL |
An argument is invalid. |
-12 |
ENOMEM |
The kernel is out of memory. |

Captured by Antinomie
Section titled “Captured by Antinomie”Coverage mark: Implemented. All arguments are plain values, recorded as the raw argument words at entry. There is no pointee to copy and no known gap.
Every call is recorded as an Entry record (the six argument words and the pointees copied at entry) and an Exit record (the return value and the pointees copied at exit).
Arguments
Section titled “Arguments”| Argument | When | How | Recorded field key | Condition |
|---|---|---|---|---|
addr (arg0) |
Entry | raw scalar word | args.0, args.addr |
|
size (arg1) |
Entry | raw scalar word | args.1, args.size |
|
flags (arg2) |
Entry | raw scalar word; Syscall Trace also decodes it into flag names (shadow_stack group), listing unknown bits separately |
args.2, args.flags |
Filter fields
Section titled “Filter fields”- Result:
ret,syscall.errno,syscall.success,syscall.duration_ns. - Argument words:
args.addr(arg0),args.size(arg1),args.flags(arg2);args.0toargs.5by position.
See Syscall Trace filter for the full syntax.
