[v25,17/30] mm: Add guard pages around a shadow stack.

Commit Message

Yu-cheng Yu April 15, 2021, 10:14 p.m. UTC

INCSSP(Q/D) increments shadow stack pointer and 'pops and discards' the
first and the last elements in the range, effectively touches those memory
areas.

The maximum moving distance by INCSSPQ is 255 * 8 = 2040 bytes and
255 * 4 = 1020 bytes by INCSSPD.  Both ranges are far from PAGE_SIZE.
Thus, putting a gap page on both ends of a shadow stack prevents INCSSP,
CALL, and RET from going beyond.

v25:
- Move SHADOW_STACK_GUARD_GAP to arch/x86/mm/mmap.c.
v24:
- Instead changing vm_*_gap(), create x86-specific versions.
