Memory protection keys enable applications to protect its
address space from inadvertent access or corruption from
itself.
The overall idea:
A process allocates a key and associates it with
a address range within its address space.
The process than can dynamically set read/write
permissions on the key without involving the
kernel. Any code that violates the permissions
off the address space; as defined by its associated
key, will receive a segmentation fault.
This patch series enables the feature on PPC64.
It is enabled on HPTE 64K-page platform.
ISA3.0 section 5.7.13 describes the detailed specifications.
Testing:
This patch series has passed all the protection key
tests available in the selftests directory.
The tests are updated to work on both x86 and powerpc.
version v3:
(1) split the patches into smaller consumable
patches.
(2) added the ability to disable execute permission
on a key at creation.
(3) rename calc_pte_to_hpte_pkey_bits() to
pte_to_hpte_pkey_bits() -- suggested by Anshuman
(4) some code optimization and clarity in
do_page_fault()
(5) A bug fix while invalidating a hpte slot in
__hash_page_4K() -- noticed by Aneesh
version v2:
(1) documentation and selftest added
(2) fixed a bug in 4k hpte backed 64k pte where page
invalidation was not done correctly, and
initialization of second-part-of-the-pte was not
done correctly if the pte was not yet Hashed
with a hpte. Reported by Aneesh.
(3) Fixed ABI breakage caused in siginfo structure.
Reported by Anshuman.
Outstanding known issue:
Calls to sys_swapcontext with a made-up context will end
up with a crap AMR if done by code who didn't know about
that register. -- Reported by Ben.
version v1: Initial version

Ram Pai (23):
powerpc: Free up four 64K PTE bits in 4K backed HPTE pages
powerpc: introduce set_hidx_slot helper
powerpc: introduce get_hidx_gslot helper
powerpc: Free up four 64K PTE bits in 64K backed HPTE pages
powerpc: capture the PTE format changes in the dump pte report
powerpc: use helper functions in __hash_page_4K() for 64K PTE
