[PATCH v4 12/39] x86/mm: Update ptep_set_wrprotect() and pmdp_set_wrprotect() for transition from _PAGE_DIRTY to _PAGE_COW

[Rick Edgecombe <rick.p.edgecombe@intel.com>]

From: Yu-cheng Yu <yu-cheng.yu@intel.com>

When Shadow Stack is in use, Write=0,Dirty=1 PTE are reserved for shadow
stack. Copy-on-write PTes then have Write=0,Cow=1.

When a PTE goes from Write=1,Dirty=1 to Write=0,Cow=1, it could
become a transient shadow stack PTE in two cases:

The first case is that some processors can start a write but end up seeing
a Write=0 PTE by the time they get to the Dirty bit, creating a transient
shadow stack PTE. However, this will not occur on processors supporting
Shadow Stack, and a TLB flush is not necessary.

The second case is that when _PAGE_DIRTY is replaced with _PAGE_COW non-
atomically, a transient shadow stack PTE can be created as a result.
Thus, prevent that with cmpxchg.

In the case of pmdp_set_wrprotect(), for nopmd configs the ->pmd operated
on does not exist and the logic would need to be different. Although the
extra functionality will normally be optimized out when user shadow
stacks are not configured, also exclude it in the preprocessor stage so
that it will still compile. User shadow stack is not supported there by
Linux anyway. Leave the cpu_feature_enabled() check so that the
functionality also disables based on runtime detection of the feature.

Dave Hansen, Jann Horn, Andy Lutomirski, and Peter Zijlstra provided many
insights to the issue. Jann Horn provided the cmpxchg solution.

v3:
 - Remove unnecessary #ifdef (Dave Hansen)

v2:
 - Compile out some code due to clang build error
 - Clarify commit log (dhansen)
 - Normalize PTE bit descriptions between patches (dhansen)
 - Update comment with text from (dhansen)

Yu-cheng v30:
 - Replace (pmdval_t) cast with CONFIG_PGTABLE_LEVELES > 2 (Borislav Petkov).
