[PATCH 1/2] powerpc/pkeys: preallocate execute_only key only if the key is available.

Ram Pai linuxram at us.ibm.com
Tue Jun 26 12:16:13 AEST 2018


Key 2 is preallocated and reserved for execute-only key. In rare
cases if key-2 is unavailable, mprotect(PROT_EXEC) will behave
incorrectly. NOTE: mprotect(PROT_EXEC) uses execute-only key.

Ensure key 2 is available for preallocation before reserving it for
execute_only purpose.  Problem noticed by Michael Ellermen.
