[PATCH v9 19/51] powerpc: Handle exceptions caused by pkey violation

Ram Pai linuxram at us.ibm.com
Mon Nov 6 19:57:11 AEDT 2017


Handle Data and  Instruction exceptions caused by memory
protection-key.

The CPU will detect the key fault if the HPTE is already
programmed with the key.

However if the HPTE is not  hashed, a key fault will not
be detected by the hardware. The software will detect
pkey violation in such a case.
