Subject[RFC PATCH 0/7 v1] powerpc: Memory Protection Keys
Date
Memory protection keys enable applications to protect its
address space from inadvertent access or corruption from
itself.

The overall idea:

A process allocates a key and associates it with
a address range within its address space.
The process than can dynamically set read/write
permissions on the key without involving the
kernel. Any code that violates the permissions
off the address space; as defined by its associated
key, will receive a segmentation fault.

This patch series enables the feature on PPC64.
It is enabled on HPTE 64K-page platform.

ISA3.0 section 5.7.13 describes the detailed specifications.

Testing:
This patch series has passed all the protection key
tests available in the selftests directory. Though
the test are written for x86, I have updated the
tests to cater to powerpc. Will send the patch
separately, along with documentation updates.

Thanks-to: Dave Hansen, Aneesh, Paul Mackerras,
Michael Ellermen :)

Ram Pai (7):
Free up four PTE bits to accommadate memory keys
Implement sys_pkey_alloc and sys_pkey_free system call.
store and restore the key state across context switches.
Implementation for sys_mprotect_pkey() system call.
Program HPTE key protection bits.
Handle exceptions caused by violation of key protection.
Deliver SEGV signal on protection key violation.
