Those changes need to be split out and acked by mm folks.

Please don't change the comments, it makes the diff harder to read.

You're actually just adding this AFAICS:

That appears to be inside an #if defined(CONFIG_X86) ?

>  #elif defined(CONFIG_PPC)
                 ^
Should be CONFIG_PPC64_MEMORY_PROTECTION_KEYS no?

But this hunk is for PPC ?

Is it OK for the other arches & generic code to add another VM_PKEY_BIT4 ?

Do you need to update show_smap_vma_flags() ?

How you can set that if it's not in PKEY_ACCESS_MASK?

See:

SYSCALL_DEFINE2(pkey_alloc, unsigned long, flags, unsigned long, init_val)
{
	int pkey;
	int ret;

	/* No flags supported yet. */
	if (flags)
		return -EINVAL;
	/* check for unsupported init values */
	if (init_val & ~PKEY_ACCESS_MASK)
		return -EINVAL;
