[RFC PATCH v9 16/27] mm: Update can_follow_write_pte() for Shadow Stack

From: Yu-cheng Yu
Date: Wed Feb 05 2020 - 13:21:45 EST


Can_follow_write_pte() verifies that a read-only page is the task's own
copy by ensuring the page has gone through faultin_page() and the PTE is
Dirty.

A Shadow Stack (SHSTK) PTE must be (read-only + _PAGE_DIRTY_HW). When a
task does fork(), its SHSTK PTEs become (read-only + _PAGE_DIRTY_SW). This
causes the next SHSTK access (i.e. CALL, RET, INCSSP) to trigger a fault;
the page is then copied, and (read-only + _PAGE_DIRTY_HW) is restored.

To update can_follow_write_pte() for SHSTK, introduce pte_exclusive(). It
verifies a data PTE is Dirty and a SHSTK PTE has _PAGE_DIRTY_HW.

Also rename can_follow_write_pte() to can_follow_write() to make its
meaning clear; i.e. "Can we write to the page?", not "Is the PTE writable?"

Also apply same changes to the huge memory case.
