[PATCH v21 14/26] x86/mm: Update maybe_mkwrite() for shadow stack

Yu-cheng Yu
2021-02-17T22:31:17Z

When serving a page fault, maybe_mkwrite() makes a PTE writable if its vma
has VM_WRITE.

A shadow stack vma has VM_SHSTK. Its PTEs have _PAGE_DIRTY, but not
_PAGE_WRITE. In fork(), _PAGE_DIRTY is cleared to effect copy-on-write,
and in page fault, _PAGE_DIRTY is restored and the shadow stack page is
writable again.

Update maybe_mkwrite() by introducing arch_maybe_mkwrite(), which sets
_PAGE_DIRTY for a shadow stack PTE.

Apply the same changes to maybe_pmd_mkwrite().
