x86/mm/pkeys: Add arch-specific VMA protection bits
Lots of things seem to do: vma->vm_page_prot = vm_get_page_prot(flags); and the ptes get created right from things we pull out of ->vm_page_prot. So it is very convenient if we can store the protection key in flags and vm_page_prot, just like the existing permission bits (_PAGE_RW/PRESENT). It greatly reduces the amount of plumbing and arch-specific hacking we have to do in generic code. This also takes the new PROT_PKEY{0,1,2,3} flags and turns *those* in to VM_ flags for vma->vm_flags. The protection key values are stored in 4 places: 1. "prot" argument to system calls 2. vma->vm_flags, filled from the mmap "prot" 3. vma->vm_page prot, filled from vma->vm_flags 4. the PTE itself. The pseudocode for these for steps are as follows: mmap(PROT_PKEY*) vma->vm_flags = ... | arch_calc_vm_prot_bits(mmap_prot); vma->vm_page_prot = ... | arch_vm_get_page_prot(vma->vm_flags); pte = pfn | vma->vm_page_prot Note that this provides a new definitions for x86: arch_vm_get_page_prot() Signed-off-by: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@linux.intel.com> Reviewed-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Cc: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Andy Lutomirski <luto@amacapital.net> Cc: Borislav Petkov <bp@alien8.de> Cc: Brian Gerst <brgerst@gmail.com> Cc: Dave Hansen <dave@sr71.net> Cc: Denys Vlasenko <dvlasenk@redhat.com> Cc: H.
