[PATCH v10 00/26] Control-flow Enforcement: Shadow Stack

From: Yu-cheng Yu
Date: Wed Apr 29 2020 - 18:08:41 EST


Control-flow Enforcement (CET) is a new Intel processor feature that blocks
return/jump-oriented programming attacks. Details can be found in "Intel
64 and IA-32 Architectures Software Developer's Manual" [1].

This series depends on the XSAVES supervisor state series that was split
out and submitted earlier [2].

I have gone through previous comments, and hope all concerns have been
resolved now. Please inform me if anything is overlooked.

Changes in v10:

- A shadow stack PTE is (!_PAGE_RW and _PAGE_DIRTY_HW). In handling page
faults, previous versions of this series use helpers such as arch_copy_
pte_mapping() and arch_set_vma_features() to manage the _PAGE_DIRTY_HW
bit for the copy-on-write logic. This has been simplified by treating
shadow stack as logically writable, and shadow stack faults are handled
similarly as for normal writable data pages. Functions pte_write(),
pte_mkwrite(), pte_wrprotect(), maybe_mkwrite() etc. are updated
accordingly.

- Signal return code is updated according to the XSAVES supervisor state
changes.

- Other smaller changes are noted in each patch's log.
