[PATCH 0/9] [v2] x86, pkeys: two protection keys bug fixes

From: Dave Hansen
Date: Mon Mar 26 2018 - 13:29:40 EST


Changes from v1:
* Added Fixes: and cc'd stable. No code changes.

This fixes two bugs, and adds selftests to make sure they stay fixed:

1. pkey 0 was not usable via mprotect_pkey() because it had never
been explicitly allocated.
2. mprotect(PROT_EXEC) memory could sometimes be left with the
implicit exec-only protection key assigned.

I already posted #1 previously. I'm including them both here because
I don't think it's been picked up in case folks want to pull these
all in a single bundle.
