[PATCH 3/7] Add a UFFD_SECURE flag to the userfaultfd API.

From: Daniel Colascione
Date: Sat Oct 12 2019 - 15:16:30 EST


The new secure flag makes userfaultfd use a new "secure" anonymous
file object instead of the default one, letting security modules
supervise userfaultfd use.

Requiring that users pass a new flag lets us avoid changing the
semantics for existing callers.
