[PATCH 24/37] x86, pkeys: dump PKRU with other kernel registers

From: Dave Hansen
Date: Mon Nov 16 2015 - 22:39:32 EST



From: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

I'm a bit ambivalent about whether this is needed or not.

Protection Keys never affect kernel mappings. But, they can
affect whether the kernel will fault when it touches a user
mapping. But, the kernel doesn't touch user mappings without
some careful choreography and these accesses don't generally
result in oopses.
