[PATCH v30 18/32] mm: Add guard pages around a shadow stack.

From: Yu-cheng Yu <hidden>
Date: 2021-08-30 18:17:44
Also in: linux-api, linux-arch, linux-mm, lkml
Subsystem: memory management - core, the rest, x86 architecture (32-bit and 64-bit), x86 mm · Maintainers: Andrew Morton, David Hildenbrand, Linus Torvalds, Thomas Gleixner, Ingo Molnar, Borislav Petkov, Dave Hansen, Andy Lutomirski, Peter Zijlstra

INCSSP(Q/D) increments shadow stack pointer and 'pops and discards' the
first and the last elements in the range, effectively touches those memory
areas.

The maximum moving distance by INCSSPQ is 255 * 8 = 2040 bytes and
255 * 4 = 1020 bytes by INCSSPD.  Both ranges are far from PAGE_SIZE.
Thus, putting a gap page on both ends of a shadow stack prevents INCSSP,
CALL, and RET from going beyond.

v25:
- Move SHADOW_STACK_GUARD_GAP to arch/x86/mm/mmap.c.

v24:
- Instead changing vm_*_gap(), create x86-specific versions.
