Patch series "page table check", v3. Ensure that some memory corruptions are prevented by checking at the time of insertion of entries into user page tables that there is no illegal sharing. We have recently found a problem [1] that existed in kernel since 4.14. The problem was caused by broken page ref count and led to memory leaking from one process into another. The problem was accidentally detected by studying a dump of one process and noticing that one page contains memory that should not belong to this process. There are some other page->_refcount related problems that were recently fixed: [2], [3] which potentially could also lead to illegal sharing. In addition to hardening refcount [4] itself, this work is an attempt to prevent this class of memory corruption issues. It uses a simple state machine that is independent from regular MM logic to check for illegal sharing at time pages are inserted and removed from page tables.

In most places, however, we first configure the page metadata and then insert entries into the page table. Page table check, will use the information from struct page to verify the type of entry is inserted. Change the order in all places to first update struct page, and later to update page table. This means that we first do calls that may change the type of page (anon or file): page_move_anon_rmap page_add_anon_rmap do_page_add_anon_rmap page_add_new_anon_rmap page_add_file_rmap hugepage_add_anon_rmap hugepage_add_new_anon_rmap And after that do calls that add entries to the page table: set_huge_pte_at set_pte_at Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20211221154650.1047963-1-pasha.tatashin@soleen.com Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20211221154650.1047963-2-pasha.tatashin@soleen.com Signed-off-by: Pasha Tatashin <pasha.tatashin@soleen.com> Cc: David Rientjes <rientjes@google.com> Cc: Paul Turner <pjt@google.com> Cc: Wei Xu <weixugc@google.com> Cc: Greg Thelen <gthelen@google.com> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@redhat.com> Cc: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net> Cc: Will Deacon <will@kernel.org> Cc: Mike Rapoport <rppt@kernel.org> Cc: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Masahiro Yamada <masahiroy@kernel.org> Cc: Sami Tolvanen <samitolvanen@google.com> Cc: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@linux.intel.com> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <frederic@kernel.org> Cc: "H.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
