[RFC PATCH v1 3/6] powerpc: Add skeleton for Kernel Userspace Execution Prevention

From: Christophe Leroy
Date: Wed Nov 07 2018 - 11:56:37 EST


This patch adds a skeleton for Kernel Userspace Execution Prevention.

Then subarches implementing it have to define CONFIG_PPC_HAVE_KUEP
and provide setup_kuep() function.
