That's just hideously nasty.. and horribly broken.

We're not going to duplicate all these kernel interfaces wrapped in gunk
like that. Also, you _cannot_ call vunmap() with IRQs disabled. Clearly
you've never tested this with debug bits enabled.

one possibility would be to have macros which use typeof() on the
parameter being passed, to decide what implementation to use: regular or
write-rare

This means that type punning would still be needed, to select the
implementation.

Would this be enough? Is there some better way?

I thought I had them. And I _did_ have them enabled, at some point.
But I must have messed up with the configuration and I failed to notice
this.

I can think of a way it might work, albeit it's not going to be very pretty:

* for the vmap(): if I understand correctly, it might sleep while
obtaining memory for creating the mapping. This part could be executed
before disabling interrupts. The rest of the function, instead, would be
executed after interrupts are disabled.

* for vunmap(): after the writing is done, change also the alternate
mapping to read only, then enable interrupts and destroy the alternate
mapping. Making also the secondary mapping read only makes it equally
secure as the primary, which means that it can be visible also with
interrupts enabled.

Like mentioned elsewhere; if you do write_enable() + write_disable()
thingies, it all becomes:

write_enable();
atomic_foo(&bar);
write_disable();

No magic gunk infested duplication at all. Of course, ideally you'd then
teach objtool about this (or a GCC plugin I suppose) to ensure any
enable reached a disable.

The alternative is something like:

#define ALLOW_WRITE(stmt) do { write_enable(); do { stmt; } while (0); write_disable(); } while (0)

which then allows you to write:

ALLOW_WRITE(atomic_foo(&bar));

No duplication.

That doesn't work if you wanted to do this write while you already have
IRQs disabled for example.

Isn't the issue here that we don't want to change the page tables for the
mapping of &bar, but instead want to create a temporary writable alias
at a random virtual address?

So you'd want:

wbar = write_enable(&bar);
atomic_foo(wbar);
write_disable(wbar);

which is probably better expressed as a map/unmap API. I suspect this
would also be the only way to do things for cmpxchg() loops, where you
want to create the mapping outside of the loop to minimise your time in
the critical section.

Ah, so I was thikning that the altnerative mm would have stuff in the
same location, just RW instead of RO.

But yes, if we, like Andy suggets, use the userspace address range for
the aliases, then we need to do as you suggest.

I was hoping for the same location too. That allows use to use a gcc
plugin to mark, say, function pointer tables, as read-only, and
annotate their rare updates with write_rare() without any
recalculation.
