[PATCH v2 3/3] mm: trace: name protection key encoding bits

From: Meijing Zhao

Date: Wed Sep 02 2026 - 02:46:16 EST


From: Meijing Zhao <zhaomeijing@xxxxxxxxxxx>

Protection keys are encoded in architecture-specific HIGH_ARCH_* VMA
flag bits. show_vma_flags(), which is used by VMA tracepoints and %pGv,
does not name those bits, leaving them as raw hexadecimal values.

Name the protection-key encoding bits pkey_bit0 through pkey_bit4 under
CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_PKEYS. The names make clear that these are bits of one
protection-key value rather than independent protection keys. For
example, protection key 3 is represented as:

pkey_bit0|pkey_bit1

Honor CONFIG_ARCH_PKEY_BITS when exposing bit 3 and bit 4 so only bits
provided by the architecture are included.
