The recently introduced _PAGE_SAVED_DIRTY should be used instead of the
HW Dirty bit whenever a PTE is Write=0, in order to not inadvertently
create shadow stack PTEs. Update pte_mk*() helpers to do this, and apply
the same changes to pmd and pud. Since there is no x86 version of
pte_mkwrite() to hold this arch specific logic, create one. Add it to
x86/mm/pgtable.c instead of x86/asm/include/pgtable.h as future patches
will require it to live in pgtable.c and it will make the diff easier
for reviewers.
Since CPUs without shadow stack support could create Write=0,Dirty=1
PTEs, only return true for pte_shstk() if the CPU also supports shadow
stack. This will prevent these HW creates PTEs as showing as true for
pte_write().
For pte_modify() this is a bit trickier. It takes a "raw" pgprot_t which
was not necessarily created with any of the existing PTE bit helpers.
That means that it can return a pte_t with Write=0,Dirty=1, a shadow
stack PTE, when it did not intend to create one.
Modify it to also move _PAGE_DIRTY to _PAGE_SAVED_DIRTY. To avoid
creating Write=0,Dirty=1 PTEs, pte_modify() needs to avoid:
1. Marking Write=0 PTEs Dirty=1
2. Marking Dirty=1 PTEs Write=0
The first case cannot happen as the existing behavior of pte_modify() is to
filter out any Dirty bit passed in newprot. Handle the second case by
shifting _PAGE_DIRTY=1 to _PAGE_SAVED_DIRTY=1 if the PTE was write
protected by the pte_modify() call. Apply the same changes to pmd_modify().
