[PATCH v7 14/27] x86/mm: Shadow stack page fault error checking
From: Yu-cheng Yu
Date: Thu Jun 06 2019 - 16:20:45 EST
If a page fault is triggered by a shadow stack access (e.g. call/ret)
or shadow stack management instructions (e.g. wrussq), then bit[6] of
the page fault error code is set.
In access_error(), verify a shadow stack page fault is within a
shadow stack memory area. It is always an error otherwise.
For a valid shadow stack access, set FAULT_FLAG_WRITE to effect
copy-on-write.
