[RFC PATCH v4 16/27] mm: Update can_follow_write_pte/pmd for shadow stack

From: Yu-cheng Yu
Date: Fri Sep 21 2018 - 11:09:55 EST


can_follow_write_pte/pmd look for the (RO & DIRTY) PTE/PMD to
verify an exclusive RO page still exists after a broken COW.

A shadow stack PTE is RO & PAGE_DIRTY_SW when it is shared,
otherwise RO & PAGE_DIRTY_HW.

Introduce pte_exclusive() and pmd_exclusive() to also verify a
shadow stack PTE is exclusive.

Also rename can_follow_write_pte/pmd() to can_follow_write() to
make their meaning clear; i.e. "Can we write to the page?", not
"Is the PTE writable?"
