Hi, This series implements Shadow Stacks for userspace using x86's Control-flow Enforcement Technology (CET). CET consists of two related security features: shadow stacks and indirect branch tracking. This series implements just the shadow stack part of this feature, and just for userspace. The main use case for shadow stack is providing protection against return oriented programming attacks. It works by maintaining a secondary (shadow) stack using a special memory type that has protections against modification. When executing a CALL instruction, the processor pushes the return address to both the normal stack and to the special permission shadow stack. Upon RET, the processor pops the shadow stack copy and compares it to the normal stack copy. For more details, see the coverletter from v1 [0]. The main change in this version is the removal of the attempt to prevent 32 bit signals from being registered with shadow stack enabled. Peterz originally raised the issue that shadow stack support in 32 bit signals was in a half working state. The reason for that was 32 bit signals are not easy to support for shadow stack, and also there is not a huge demand for shadow stack support in 32 bit apps using 32 bit emulation on 64 bit kernels. At that point the solution was to prevent shadow stack from being enabled on 32 bit processes. But Peterz pointed that 64 bit apps can transition to 32 bit outside of kernel interaction by making a far call to a 32 bit segment. So the next solution was to prevent 32 bit signals from being registered when shadow stack was enabled. This turned out to be hard to do, due to signals being per-process and shadow stack being per task. But it turns out this far call scenario was already mostly not possible due to the HW not supporting shadow stacks located outside of the 32 bit address space when in 32 bit mode. During the transition to 32 bit mode with an SSP pointing outside of the 32 bit address space, HW generates a #GP which in turn triggers a segfault. So basically there is already a barrier in place for this far call scenario for the most part. Creation of shadow stack memory is tightly controlled, so the solution in this version is just to *ensure* that shadow stacks can never be allocated in the 32 bit address space. For more information see the new patch: "x86/mm: Introduce MAP_ABOVE4G", and the documentation in patch 1. Additionally: - A smattering of small changes from Boris and Kees - Fixed my spellcheck setup and then fixed a bunch of spelling issues in the commit logs. - An update to the pte_modify() PAGE_COW solution I left tested-by tags in place per discussion with testers. Testers, please retest. Previous version [1].
