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. In places where Linux normally creates Write=0, Dirty=1, it can use the software-defined _PAGE_COW in place of the hardware _PAGE_DIRTY. In other words, whenever Linux needs to create Write=0, Dirty=1, it instead creates Write=0, Cow=1, except for shadow stack, which is Write=0, Dirty=1. This clearly separates shadow stack from other data, and results in the following: (a) A modified, copy-on-write (COW) page: (Write=0, Cow=1) (b) A R/O page that has been COW'ed: (Write=0, Cow=1) 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 Write=0 and Cow=1. (c) A shadow stack PTE: (Write=0, Dirty=1) (d) A shared shadow stack PTE: (Write=0, Cow=1) When a shadow stack page is being shared among processes (this happens at fork()), its PTE is made Dirty=0, so the next shadow stack access causes a fault, and the page is duplicated and Dirty=1 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. Define _PAGE_COW and update pte_*() helpers and apply the same changes to pmd and pud. After this, there are six free bits left in the 64-bit PTE, and no more free bits in the 32-bit PTE (except for PAE) and Shadow Stack is not implemented for the 32-bit kernel.
