[PATCH v3 3/6] mm: introduce memfd_secret system call to create "secret" memory areas

From: Mike Rapoport
Date: Tue Aug 04 2020 - 05:51:19 EST


From: Mike Rapoport <rppt@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Introduce "memfd_secret" system call with the ability to create memory
areas visible only in the context of the owning process and not mapped not
only to other processes but in the kernel page tables as well.

The user will create a file descriptor using the memfd_secret() system call
where flags supplied as a parameter to this system call will define the
desired protection mode for the memory associated with that file
descriptor. Currently there are two protection modes:

* exclusive - the memory area is unmapped from the kernel direct map and it
is present only in the page tables of the owning mm.
* uncached - the memory area is present only in the page tables of the
owning mm and it is mapped there as uncached.

For instance, the following example will create an uncached mapping (error
handling is omitted):

fd = memfd_secret(SECRETMEM_UNCACHED);
ftruncate(fd, MAP_SIZE);
ptr = mmap(NULL, MAP_SIZE, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, fd, 0);
