[RFC PATCH v3 13/24] x86/mm: Shadow stack page fault error checking

From: Yu-cheng Yu <hidden>
Date: 2018-08-30 14:47:16
Also in: linux-arch, linux-doc, linux-mm, lkml
Subsystem: the rest, x86 architecture (32-bit and 64-bit), x86 mm · Maintainers: Linus Torvalds, Thomas Gleixner, Ingo Molnar, Borislav Petkov, Dave Hansen, Andy Lutomirski, Peter Zijlstra

If a page fault is triggered by a shadow stack access (e.g.
call/ret) or shadow stack management instructions (e.g.
wrussq), then bit[6] of the page fault error code is set.

In access_error(), we check if a shadow stack page fault
is within a shadow stack memory area.
