[PATCH v2] powerpc/pkeys: copy pkey-tracking-information at fork()

Ram Pai linuxram at us.ibm.com
Fri Dec 21 07:03:30 AEDT 2018


Pkey tracking information is not copied over to the mm_struct of the
child during fork(). 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.

v2: do not copy if pkeys is disabled.
