[RFC v5 00/38] 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
 an  address  range  within    its   address   space.
 The process  then  can  dynamically  set read/write 
 permissions on  the   key   without  involving  the 
 kernel. Any  code that  violates   the  permissions
 of  the address space; as defined by its associated
 key, will receive a segmentation fault.

This patch series enables the feature on PPC64 HPTE
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 v5:
	(1) reverted back to the old design -- store the 
	    key in the pte, instead of bypassing it.
	    The v4 design slowed down the hash page path.
	(2) detects key violation when kernel is told to 
		access user pages.
	(3) further refined the patches into smaller consumable
		units
	(4) page faults handlers captures the faulting key 
	    from the pte instead of the vma. This closes a
	    race between where the key update in the vma and
	    a key fault caused cause by the key programmed
	    in the pte.
	(5) a key created with access-denied should
	    also set it up to deny write. Fixed it.
	(6) protection-key number is displayed in smaps
		the x86 way.
version v4:
	(1) patches no more depend on the pte bits to program
		the hpte -- comment by Balbir
	(2) documentation updates
	(3) fixed a bug in the selftest.
	(4) unlike x86, powerpc lets signal handler change key
	    permission bits; the change will persist across
	    signal handler boundaries. Earlier we allowed
	    the signal handler to modify a field in the siginfo
	    structure which would than be used by the kernel
	    to program the key protection register (AMR)
       		-- resolves a issue raised by Ben.
    		"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".
	(5) these changes enable protection keys on 4k-page 
		kernel aswell.

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.
