This is a reland of commit 9d31f866 There were issues with --future flag implications on M1. Original change's description: > [rwx][mac] Support fast W^X permission switching on Apple Silicon (M1) > > ... for V8 code space. The feature is currently disabled. > > In order to use fast W^X permission switching we must allocate > executable pages with readable writable executable permissions (RWX). > However, MacOS on ARM64 ("Apple M1"/Apple Silicon) prohibits further > permission changing of RWX memory pages. This means that the code page > headers must be allocated with RWX permissions too because otherwise > it wouldn't be possible to allocate a large code page over the freed > regular code page and vice versa. > > When enabled, the new machinery works as follows: > > 1) when memory region is reserved for allocating executable pages, the > whole region is committed with RWX permissions and then decommitted, > 2) since reconfiguration of RWX page permissions is not allowed on > MacOS on ARM64 ("Apple M1"/Apple Silicon), there must be no attempts > to change them, > 3) the request to set RWX permissions in the executable page region > just recommits the pages without changing permissions (see (1), they > were already allocated as RWX and then discarded), > 4) in order to make executable pages inaccessible one must use > OS::DiscardSystemPages() instead of OS::DecommitPages() or > setting permissions to kNoAccess because the latter two are not > allowed by the MacOS (see (2)). > 5) since code space page headers are allocated as RWX pages it's also > necessary to switch between W^X modes when updating the data in the > page headers (i.e. when marking, updating stats, wiring pages in > lists, etc.). The new CodePageHeaderModificationScope class is used > in the respective places. On unrelated configurations it's a no-op. > > The fast permission switching can't be used for V8 configuration with > enabled pointer compression and disabled external code space because > a) the pointer compression cage has to be reserved with MAP_JIT flag > which is too expensive, > b) in case of shared pointer compression cage if the code range will > be deleted while the cage is still alive then attempt to configure > permissions of pages that were previously set to RWX will fail. > > This also CL extends the unmapper unit tests with permissions tracking > for discarded pages. > > Bug: v8:12797 > Change-Id: Idb28cbc481306477589eee9962d2e75167d87c61 > Reviewed-on: https://chromium-review.googlesource.com/c/v8/v8/+/3579303 > Reviewed-by: Nico Hartmann <nicohartmann@chromium.org> > Reviewed-by: Clemens Backes <clemensb@chromium.org> > Reviewed-by: Michael Lippautz <mlippautz@chromium.org> > Commit-Queue: Igor Sheludko <ishell@chromium.org> > Cr-Commit-Position: refs/heads/main@{#80238} Bug: v8:12797 Change-Id: I0fe86666f31bad37d7074e217555c95900d2afba Reviewed-on: https://chromium-review.googlesource.com/c/v8/v8/+/3610433Reviewed-by: Nico Hartmann <nicohartmann@chromium.org> Reviewed-by: Michael Lippautz <mlippautz@chromium.org> Commit-Queue: Igor Sheludko <ishell@chromium.org> Reviewed-by: Clemens Backes <clemensb@chromium.org> Cr-Commit-Position: refs/heads/main@{#80259}
