Subject: [PATCH v15 08/26] x86/mm: Introduce _PAGE_COW
Date:   Tue, 10 Nov 2020 08:21:53 -0800
Message-Id: <20201110162211.9207-9-yu-cheng.yu@intel.com>

There is essentially no room left in the x86 hardware PTEs on some OSes
(not Linux).  That left the hardware architects looking for a way to
represent a new memory type (shadow stack) within the existing bits.
They chose to repurpose a lightly-used state: Write=0,Dirty=1.

The reason it's lightly used is that Dirty=1 is normally set by hardware
and cannot normally be set by hardware on a Write=0 PTE.  Software must
normally be involved to create one of these PTEs, so software can simply
opt to not create them.

But that leaves us with a Linux problem: we need to ensure we never create
Write=0,Dirty=1 PTEs.  In places where we do create them, we need to find
an alternative way to represent them _without_ using the same hardware bit
combination.  Thus, enter _PAGE_COW.  This results in the following:

(a) A modified, copy-on-write (COW) page: (R/O + _PAGE_COW)
(b) A R/O page that has been COW'ed: (R/O + _PAGE_COW)
    The user page is in a R/O VMA, and get_user_pages() needs a writable
    copy.  The page fault handler creates a copy of the page and sets
    the new copy's PTE as R/O and _PAGE_COW.
(c) A shadow stack PTE: (R/O + _PAGE_DIRTY_HW)
(d) A shared shadow stack PTE: (R/O + _PAGE_COW)
    When a shadow stack page is being shared among processes (this happens
    at fork()), its PTE is cleared of _PAGE_DIRTY_HW, so the next shadow
    stack access causes a fault, and the page is duplicated and
    _PAGE_DIRTY_HW is set again.  This is the COW equivalent for shadow
    stack pages, even though it's copy-on-access rather than copy-on-write.
(e) A page where the processor observed a Write=1 PTE, started a write, set
    Dirty=1, but then observed a Write=0 PTE.  That's possible today, but
    will not happen on processors that support shadow stack.

Use _PAGE_COW in pte_wrprotect() and _PAGE_DIRTY_HW in pte_mkwrite().
Apply the same changes to pmd and pud.

When this patch is applied, there are six free bits left in the 64-bit PTE.
There are no more free bits in the 32-bit PTE (except for PAE) and shadow
stack is not implemented for the 32-bit kernel.
