[PATCH 16/37] x86, pkeys: notify userspace about protection key faults
From: Dave Hansen
Date: Mon Nov 16 2015 - 22:41:52 EST
From: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
A protection key fault is very similar to any other access error.
There must be a VMA, etc... We even want to take the same action
(SIGSEGV) that we do with a normal access fault.
However, we do need to let userspace know that something is
different. We do this the same way what we did with SEGV_BNDERR
with Memory Protection eXtensions (MPX): define a new SEGV code:
SEGV_PKUERR.
We also add a siginfo field: si_pkey that reveals to userspace
which protection key was set on the PTE that we faulted on.
There is no other easy way for userspace to figure this out.
They could parse smaps but that would be a bit cruel.
Note though that *ALL* protection key faults have to be generated
by a valid, present PTE at some point. But this code does no PTE
lookups which seeds odd. The reason is that we take advantage of
the way we generate PTEs from VMAs. All PTEs under a VMA share
some attributes. For instance, they are _all_ either PROT_READ
*OR* PROT_NONE. They also always share a protection key, so we
never have to walk the page tables; we just use the VMA.
We share space with in siginfo with _addr_bnd. #BR faults from
MPX are completely separate from page faults (#PF) that trigger
from protection key violations, so we never need both at the same
time.
Note that _pkey is a 64-bit value. The current hardware only
supports 4-bit protection keys. We do this because there is
_plenty_ of space in _sigfault and it is possible that future
processors would support more than 4 bits of protection keys.
