[PATCH 21/35] mm/mprotect: Exclude shadow stack from preserve_write

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

 



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

In change_pte_range(), when a PTE is changed for prot_numa, _PAGE_RW is
preserved to avoid the additional write fault after the NUMA hinting fault.
However, pte_write() now includes both normal writable and shadow stack
(RW=0, Dirty=1) PTEs, but the latter does not have _PAGE_RW and has no need
to preserve it.

Exclude shadow stack from preserve_write test, and apply the same change to
change_huge_pmd().

v25:
 - Move is_shadow_stack_mapping() to a separate line.

v24:
 - Change arch_shadow_stack_mapping() to is_shadow_stack_mapping().
