[PATCH v2 17/39] mm: Fixup places that call pte_mkwrite() directly

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Yu-cheng Yu <yu-cheng.yu@xxxxxxxxx>

With the introduction of shadow stack memory there are two ways a pte can
be writable: regular writable memory and shadow stack memory.

In past patches, maybe_mkwrite() has been updated to apply pte_mkwrite()
or pte_mkwrite_shstk() depending on the VMA flag. This covers most cases
where a PTE is made writable. However, there are places where pte_mkwrite()
is called directly and the logic should now also create a shadow stack PTE
in the case of a shadow stack VMA.

 - do_anonymous_page() and migrate_vma_insert_page() check VM_WRITE
   directly and call pte_mkwrite(), which is the same as maybe_mkwrite()
   in logic and intention. Just change them to maybe_mkwrite().

 - When userfaultfd is creating a PTE after userspace handles the fault
   it calls pte_mkwrite() directly. Teach it about pte_mkwrite_shstk()

In other cases where pte_mkwrite() is called directly, the VMA will not
be VM_SHADOW_STACK, and so shadow stack memory should not be created.
 - In the case of pte_savedwrite(), shadow stack VMA's are excluded.
 - In the case of the "dirty_accountable" optimization in mprotect(),
   shadow stack VMA's won't be VM_SHARED, so it is not nessary.

v2:
 - Updated commit log with comment's from Dave Hansen
 - Dave also suggested (I understood) to maybe tweak vm_get_page_prot()
   to avoid having to call maybe_mkwrite(). After playing around with
   this I opted to *not* do this. Shadow stack memory memory is
   effectively writable, so having the default permissions be writable
   ended up mapping the zero page as writable and other surprises. So
   creating shadow stack memory needs to be done with manual logic
   like pte_mkwrite().
 - Drop change in change_pte_range() because it couldn't actually trigger
   for shadow stack VMAs.
 - Clarify reasoning for skipped cases of pte_mkwrite().

Yu-cheng v25:
 - Apply same changes to do_huge_pmd_numa_page() as to do_numa_page().
