[PATCH v20 10/25] x86/mm: Update pte_modify for _PAGE_COW

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

 



The read-only and Dirty PTE has been used to indicate copy-on-write pages.
However, newer x86 processors also regard a read-only and Dirty PTE as a
shadow stack page.  In order to separate the two, the software-defined
_PAGE_COW is created to replace _PAGE_DIRTY for the copy-on-write case, and
pte_*() are updated.

Pte_modify() changes a PTE to 'newprot', but it doesn't use the pte_*().
Introduce fixup_dirty_pte(), which sets a dirty PTE, based on _PAGE_RW,
to either _PAGE_DIRTY or _PAGE_COW.

Apply the same changes to pmd_modify().
