[RFC v3 00/23] powerpc: Memory Protection Keys

[Ram Pai]

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

Thanks-to: Dave Hansen, Aneesh, Paul Mackerras,

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
  powerpc: use helper functions in __hash_page_4K() for 4K PTE
  powerpc: use helper functions in flush_hash_page()
  mm: introduce an additional vma bit for powerpc pkey
  mm: provide the ability to disable execute on a key at creation

  powerpc: Handle exceptions caused by violation of pkey protection
  powerpc: Deliver SEGV signal on pkey violation
  selftest: Move protecton key selftest to arch neutral directory
  selftest: PowerPC specific test updates to memory protection keys
  Documentation: Move protecton key documentation to arch neutral
    directory
  Documentation: PowerPC specific updates to memory protection keys
  procfs: display the protection-key number associated with a vma
