[PATCH] powerpc/pkeys: copy pkey-tracking-information at fork()

Ram Pai linuxram at us.ibm.com
Tue Dec 4 07:43:22 AEDT 2018


At fork(), the pkey tracking information is not copied over
to the mm_struct of the child. This can cause the child to erroneously
allocate keys that were already allocated. Any allocated execute-only
key is lost aswell.

Add code; called by dup_mmap(), to copy the pkey state from
parent to child explicitly.

This problem was originally found by Dave Hansen on x86, which turns
out to be a problem on powerpc aswell.

Testing:
	Passes the new selftest added by Dave Hansen. I have temporarily
	captured that selftest at
	https://github.com/rampai/memorykeys/ -b memkey.v15-rc6
