[PATCH v21 15/28] mm: Introduce vm_ops->may_mprotect()

From: Jarkko Sakkinen

From: Sean Christopherson <sean.j.christopherson@xxxxxxxxx>

SGX will use ->may_mprotect() to invoke and enforce SGX variations on
the existing file_mprotect() and mmap_file() LSM hooks.

The name may_mprotect() is intended to reflect the hook's purpose as a
way to restrict mprotect() as opposed to a wholesale replacement.

Due to the nature of SGX and its Enclave Page Cache (EPC), all enclave
VMAs are backed by a single file, i.e. /dev/sgx/enclave, that must be
MAP_SHARED. Furthermore, all enclaves need read, write and execute
VMAs. As a result, applying W^X restrictions on /dev/sgx/enclave using
existing LSM hooks is for all intents and purposes impossible, e.g.
denying either W or X would deny access to *any* enclave.

By hooking mprotect(), SGX can enforce maximal PTE protections that are
checked by LSMs at enclave load time (when the source file is available)
and can also invoke LSM hooks at the time of mapping, e.g. an enclave
specific hook or a modified call to file_mprotect(), e.g. to check
W+X mappings.
