Some OSes have a greater dependence on software available bits in PTEs than
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. So in order to support
shadow stack memory, Linux should avoid creating memory with this PTE bit
combination unless it intends for it to be shadow stack.
The reason it's lightly used is that Dirty=1 is normally set by HW
_before_ a write. A write with a Write=0 PTE would typically only generate
a fault, not set Dirty=1. Hardware can (rarely) both set Dirty=1 *and*
generate the fault, resulting in a Write=0,Dirty=1 PTE. Hardware which
supports shadow stacks will no longer exhibit this oddity.
So that leaves Write=0,Dirty=1 PTEs created in software. To avoid
inadvertently created shadow stack memory, in places where Linux normally
creates Write=0,Dirty=1, it can use the software-defined _PAGE_SAVED_DIRTY
in place of the hardware _PAGE_DIRTY. In other words, whenever Linux needs
to create Write=0,Dirty=1, it instead creates Write=0,SavedDirty=1 except
for shadow stack, which is Write=0,Dirty=1.
There are six bits left available to software in the 64-bit PTE after
consuming a bit for _PAGE_SAVED_DIRTY. For 32 bit, the same bit as
_PAGE_BIT_UFFD_WP is used, since user fault fd is not supported on 32
bit. This leaves one unused software bit on 32 bit (_PAGE_BIT_SOFT_DIRTY,
as this is also not supported on 32 bit).
Implement only the infrastructure for _PAGE_SAVED_DIRTY. Changes to
actually begin creating _PAGE_SAVED_DIRTY PTEs will follow once other
pieces are in place.
Since this SavedDirty shifting is done for all x86 CPUs, this leaves
the possibility for the hardware oddity to still create Write=0,Dirty=1
PTEs in rare cases. Since these CPUs also don't support shadow stack, this
will be harmless as it was before the introduction of SavedDirty.
Implement the shifting logic to be branchless. Embed the logic of whether
to do the shifting (including checking the Write bits) so that it can be
called by future callers that would otherwise need additional branching
logic. This efficiency allows the logic of when to do the shifting to be
centralized, making the code easier to reason about.
