There is essentially no room left in the x86 hardware PTEs on some OSes (not Linux). That left the hardware architects looking for a way to represent a new memory type (shadow stack) within the existing bits. They chose to repurpose a lightly-used state: Write=0,Dirty=1. The reason it's lightly used is that Dirty=1 is normally set by hardware and cannot normally be set by hardware on a Write=0 PTE. Software must normally be involved to create one of these PTEs, so software can simply opt to not create them. But that leaves us with a Linux problem: we need to ensure we never create Write=0,Dirty=1 PTEs. In places where we do create them, we need to find an alternative way to represent them _without_ using the same hardware bit combination. Thus, enter _PAGE_COW. This results in the following: (a) A modified, copy-on-write (COW) page: (R/O + _PAGE_COW) (b) A R/O page that has been COW'ed: (R/O + _PAGE_COW) The user page is in a R/O VMA, and get_user_pages() needs a writable copy. The page fault handler creates a copy of the page and sets the new copy's PTE as R/O and _PAGE_COW. (c) A shadow stack PTE: (R/O + _PAGE_DIRTY_HW) (d) A shared shadow stack PTE: (R/O + _PAGE_COW) When a shadow stack page is being shared among processes (this happens at fork()), its PTE is cleared of _PAGE_DIRTY_HW, so the next shadow stack access causes a fault, and the page is duplicated and _PAGE_DIRTY_HW is set again. This is the COW equivalent for shadow stack pages, even though it's copy-on-access rather than copy-on-write. (e) A page where the processor observed a Write=1 PTE, started a write, set Dirty=1, but then observed a Write=0 PTE. That's possible today, but will not happen on processors that support shadow stack. Use _PAGE_COW in pte_wrprotect() and _PAGE_DIRTY_HW in pte_mkwrite(). Apply the same changes to pmd and pud. When this patch is applied, there are six free bits left in the 64-bit PTE. There are no more free bits in the 32-bit PTE (except for PAE) and shadow stack is not implemented for the 32-bit kernel. Signed-off-by: Yu-cheng Yu <yu-cheng.yu@intel.com> Reviewed-by: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org> --- v10: - Change _PAGE_BIT_DIRTY_SW to _PAGE_BIT_COW, as it is used for copy-on- write PTEs. - Update pte_write() and treat shadow stack as writable. - Change *_mkdirty_shstk() to *_mkwrite_shstk() as these make shadow stack pages writable. - Use bit test & shift to move _PAGE_BIT_DIRTY_HW to _PAGE_BIT_COW. - Change static_cpu_has() to cpu_feature_enabled(). - Revise commit log. v9: - Remove pte_move_flags() etc. and put the logic directly in pte_wrprotect()/pte_mkwrite() etc. - Change compile-time conditionals to run-time checks. - Split out pte_modify()/pmd_modify() to a new patch. - Update comments. arch/x86/include/asm/pgtable.h | 120 ++++++++++++++++++++++++--- arch/x86/include/asm/pgtable_types.h | 41 ++++++++- 2 files changed, 150 insertions(+), 11 deletions(-)
