When Shadow Stack is enabled, the [R/O + PAGE_DIRTY_HW] setting is reserved only for the Shadow Stack. For non-Shadow Stack R/O PTEs, we use [R/O + PAGE_DIRTY_SW]. When a PTE goes from [R/W + PAGE_DIRTY_HW] to [R/O + PAGE_DIRTY_SW], it could become a transient Shadow Stack PTE in two cases. The first case is that some processors can start a write but end up seeing a read-only PTE by the time they get to the Dirty bit, creating a transient Shadow Stack PTE. However, this will not occur on processors supporting Shadow Stack therefore we don't need a TLB flush here. The second case is that when the software, without atomic, tests & replaces PAGE_DIRTY_HW with PAGE_DIRTY_SW, a transient Shadow Stack PTE can exist. This is prevented with cmpxchg. Dave Hansen, Jann Horn, Andy Lutomirski, and Peter Zijlstra provided many insights to the issue. Jann Horn provided the cmpxchg solution.
