[PATCH v2 4/6] powerpc/pkeys: Preallocate execute-only key

Ram Pai linuxram at us.ibm.com
Thu Jun 14 10:29:02 AEST 2018


execute-only key is allocated dynamically. This is a problem.  When a
thread implicitly creates a execute-only key, and resets UAMOR for that
key, the UAMOR value does not percolate to all the other threads.  Any
other thread may ignorantly change the permissions on the key.  This can
cause the key to be not execute-only for that thread.

Preallocate the execute-only key and ensure that no thread can change
the permission of the key, by resetting the corresponding bit in UAMOR.
