[PATCH v6 00/41] Shadow stacks for userspace

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

 



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 changes in this version are the MM suggestions by David Hildenbrand
to have pte_mkwrite() take a vma, and rename _PAGE_COW.
The former is split over three patches:
mm: Introduce pte_mkwrite_kernel()
s390/mm: Introduce pmd_mkwrite_kernel()
mm: Make pte_mkwrite() take a VMA

With these changes, and an adjustment to "mm: Warn on shadow stack memory in
wrong vma", references to "shstk" are now only in x86 arch code, hopefully
addressing Andrew Morton's concerns. There are still a couple VM_SHADOW_STACK 
references, which seems to be in keeping with the treatment of other
VM_HIGH_ARCH flags. If other shadow stack implementations end up with identical
logic, it can easily be refactored at that point.

There was also some more feedback from Boris which was incorporated.

I left tested-by tags in place per discussion with testers. Testers, please
retest.

Previous version [1].

Thanks,
Rick
