[PATCH v4 09/36] arm64/mm: Allocate PIE slots for EL0 guarded control stack

Mark Brown broonie at kernel.org
Mon Aug 7 15:00:14 PDT 2023


Pages used for guarded control stacks need to be described to the hardware
using the Permission Indirection Extension, GCS is not supported without
PIE. In order to support copy on write for guarded stacks we allocate two
values, one for active GCSs and one for GCS pages marked as read only prior
to copy.

Since the actual effect is defined using PIE the specific bit pattern used
does not matter to the hardware but we choose two values which differ only
in PTE_WRITE in order to help share code with non-PIE cases.
