[PATCH v12 05/10] mm: introduce memfd_secret system call to create "secret" memory areas

Mike Rapoport
2020-11-25T09:23:20Z

Introduce "memfd_secret" system call with the ability to create memory
areas visible only in the context of the owning process and not mapped not
only to other processes but in the kernel page tables as well.

The user will create a file descriptor using the memfd_secret() system
call. The memory areas created by mmap() calls from this file descriptor
will be unmapped from the kernel direct map and they will be only mapped in
the page table of the owning mm.

The secret memory remains accessible in the process context using uaccess
primitives, but it is not accessible using direct/linear map addresses.

Functions in the follow_page()/get_user_page() family will refuse to return
a page that belongs to the secret memory area.

A page that was a part of the secret memory area is cleared when it is
freed.

The following example demonstrates creation of a secret mapping (error
handling is omitted):

fd = memfd_secret(0);
ftruncate(fd, MAP_SIZE);
ptr = mmap(NULL, MAP_SIZE, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, fd, 0);
