Subject: [PATCH v5 23/39] mm: Don't allow write GUPs to shadow stack memory
Date:   Thu, 19 Jan 2023 13:23:01 -0800
Message-Id: <20230119212317.8324-24-rick.p.edgecombe@intel.com>
In-Reply-To: <20230119212317.8324-1-rick.p.edgecombe@intel.com>

Precedence: bulk

The x86 Control-flow Enforcement Technology (CET) feature includes a new
type of memory called shadow stack. This shadow stack memory has some
unusual properties, which requires some core mm changes to function
properly.

Shadow stack memory is writable only in very specific, controlled ways.
However, since it is writable, the kernel treats it as such. As a result
there remain many ways for userspace to trigger the kernel to write to
shadow stack's via get_user_pages(, FOLL_WRITE) operations. To make this a
little less exposed, block writable GUPs for shadow stack VMAs.

Still allow FOLL_FORCE to write through shadow stack protections, as it
does for read-only protections.
