[PATCH v30 14/32] mm: Introduce VM_SHADOW_STACK for shadow stack memory

From: Yu-cheng Yu <hidden>
Date: 2021-08-30 18:18:00
Also in: linux-api, linux-arch, linux-mm, lkml
Subsystem: documentation, filesystems (vfs and infrastructure), memory management - core, memory mapping, proc filesystem, the rest, x86 architecture (32-bit and 64-bit), x86 mm · Maintainers: Jonathan Corbet, Alexander Viro, Christian Brauner, Andrew Morton, David Hildenbrand, Liam R. Howlett, Lorenzo Stoakes, Linus Torvalds, Thomas Gleixner, Ingo Molnar, Borislav Petkov, Dave Hansen, Andy Lutomirski, Peter Zijlstra

A shadow stack PTE must be read-only and have _PAGE_DIRTY set.  However,
read-only and Dirty PTEs also exist for copy-on-write (COW) pages.  These
two cases are handled differently for page faults.  Introduce
VM_SHADOW_STACK to track shadow stack VMAs.
