[PATCH v8 22/40] mm/mmap: Add shadow stack pages to memory accounting

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

 



The x86 Control-flow Enforcement Technology (CET) feature includes a new
type of memory called shadow stack. This shadow stack memory has some
unusual properties, which requires some core mm changes to function
properly.

v8:
 - Update commit log verbaige (Boris)
 - Update comment around is_stack_mapping() (David Hildenbrand)

v7:
 - Change is_stack_mapping() to know about VM_SHADOW_STACK so the
   additions in vm_stat_account() can be dropped. (David Hildenbrand)

v3:
 - Remove unneeded VM_SHADOW_STACK check in accountable_mapping()
   (Kirill)

v2:
 - Remove is_shadow_stack_mapping() and just change it to directly bitwise
   and VM_SHADOW_STACK.
