Cover letter [PATCH 0/6] mm, x86, powerpc: Memory Protection Keys enhancement
The patch-series enhances memory protection keys feature.
The patch(1) introduces an additional vma bit to support 32 pkeys. PowerPC supports 32 pkeys.
The patch(2,3) introduces a new interface arch_pkeys_enabled(),
this interface can be used by arch-neutral code to display
protection key value in smap.
The patch(4) introduces a syfs interface, to display the static attributes of the protection key. Eg: max number of keys.
The last two patches, (5,6) update documentation.
A separate patch series that enhances selftest will follow. The entire patch series that enables pkeys on powerpc is at
https://github.com/rampai/memorykeys.git memkey.v9-rc1
Testing:
-------
This patches are tested on powerpc platform using a enhaced set of selftests.
Could not test on x86 since I do not have access to one with pkey support.
History:
-------
version v3:
(1) sysfs interface - thanks Thiago.
(2) Documentation update.
version v2:
(1) Documentation is updated to better
capture the semantics.
(2) introduced arch_pkeys_enabled() to find
if an arch enables pkeys. Correspond- ing change in logic that displays key value in smaps.
(3) code rearranged in many places based on
comments from Dave Hansen, Balbir,
Anshuman.
