[PATCH v2 11/27] riscv mmu: teach pte_mkwrite to manufacture shadow stack PTEs

From: Deepak Gupta
Date: Fri Mar 29 2024 - 00:48:32 EST


pte_mkwrite creates PTEs with WRITE encodings for underlying arch. Underlying
arch can have two types of writeable mappings. One that can be written using
regular store instructions. Another one that can only be written using specialized
store instructions (like shadow stack stores). pte_mkwrite can select write PTE
encoding based on VMA range.

On riscv, presence of only VM_WRITE in vma->vm_flags means it's a shadow stack.
