[PATCH 4/6] Protectable Memory

Igor Stoppa igor.stoppa at huawei.com
Wed Jan 24 17:56:29 UTC 2018


The MMU available in many systems running Linux can often provide R/O
protection to the memory pages it handles.

However, the MMU-based protection works efficiently only when said pages
contain exclusively data that will not need further modifications.

Statically allocated variables can be segregated into a dedicated
section, but this does not sit very well with dynamically allocated
ones.

Dynamic allocation does not provide, currently, any means for grouping
variables in memory pages that would contain exclusively data suitable
for conversion to read only access mode.

The allocator here provided (pmalloc - protectable memory allocator)
introduces the concept of pools of protectable memory.

A module can request a pool and then refer any allocation request to the
pool handler it has received.

Once all the chunks of memory associated to a specific pool are
initialized, the pool can be protected.

After this point, the pool can only be destroyed (it is up to the module
to avoid any further references to the memory from the pool, after
the destruction is invoked).

The latter case is mainly meant for releasing memory, when a module is
unloaded.

A module can have as many pools as needed, for example to support the
protection of data that is initialized in sufficiently distinct phases.
