[RFC PATCH v9 14/27] mm: Handle Shadow Stack page fault

From: Yu-cheng Yu
Date: Wed Feb 05 2020 - 13:21:56 EST


When a task does fork(), its Shadow Stack (SHSTK) must be duplicated for
the child. This patch implements a flow similar to copy-on-write of an
anonymous page, but for SHSTK.

A SHSTK PTE must be RO and Dirty. This Dirty bit requirement is used to
effect the copying. In copy_one_pte(), clear the Dirty bit from a SHSTK
PTE to cause a page fault upon the next SHSTK access. At that time, fix
the PTE and copy/re-use the page.
