Subject: [PATCH 21/33] x86, pkeys: optimize fault handling in access_error()
Date: Fri, 12 Feb 2016 13:02:22 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20160212210222.EBB63D8C@viggo.jf.intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20160212210152.9CAD15B0@viggo.jf.intel.com>
From: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@linux.intel.com>
We might not strictly have to make modifictions to
access_error() to check the VMA here.
If we do not, we will do this:
1. app sets VMA pkey to K
2. app touches a !present page
3. do_page_fault(), allocates and maps page, sets pte.pkey=K
4. return to userspace
5. touch instruction reexecutes, but triggers PF_PK
6. do PKEY signal
What happens with this patch applied:
1. app sets VMA pkey to K
2. app touches a !present page
3. do_page_fault() notices that K is inaccessible
4. do PKEY signal
We basically skip the fault that does an allocation.
So what this lets us do is protect areas from even being
*populated* unless it is accessible according to protection
keys. That seems handy to me and makes protection keys work
more like an mprotect()'d mapping.
