Date: Thu, 07 May 2015 10:41:34 -0700 From: Dave Hansen <dave@...1.net> To: dave@...1.net Cc: linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org, x86@...nel.org Subject: [PATCH 04/12] x86, pkeys: PTE bits Previous documentation has referred to these 4 bits as "ignored". That means that software could have made use of them. But, as far as I know, the kernel never used them. They are still ignored when protection keys is not enabled, so they could theoretically still get used for software purposes. --- b/arch/x86/include/asm/pgtable_types.h | 10 +++++++++- 1 file changed, 9 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff -puN arch/x86/include/asm/pgtable_types.h~pkeys-3-ptebits arch/x86/include/asm/pgtable_types.h --- a/arch/x86/include/asm/pgtable_types.h~pkeys-3-ptebits 2015-05-07 10:31:42.194223812 -0700 +++ b/arch/x86/include/asm/pgtable_types.h 2015-05-07 10:31:42.198223992 -0700 @@ -25,7 +25,11 @@ #define _PAGE_BIT_SPLITTING _PAGE_BIT_SOFTW2 /* only valid on a PSE pmd */ #define _PAGE_BIT_HIDDEN _PAGE_BIT_SOFTW3 /* hidden by kmemcheck */ #define _PAGE_BIT_SOFT_DIRTY _PAGE_BIT_SOFTW3 /* software dirty tracking */ -#define _PAGE_BIT_NX 63 /* No execute: only valid after cpuid check */ +#define _PAGE_BIT_PKEY_BIT0 59 /* Protection Keys, bit 1/4 */ +#define _PAGE_BIT_PKEY_BIT1 60 /* Protection Keys, bit 2/4 */ +#define _PAGE_BIT_PKEY_BIT2 61 /* Protection Keys, bit 3/4 */ +#define _PAGE_BIT_PKEY_BIT3 62 /* Protection Keys, bit 4/4 */ +#define _PAGE_BIT_NX 63 /* No execute: only valid after cpuid check */ /* If _PAGE_BIT_PRESENT is clear, we use these: */ /* - if the user mapped it with PROT_NONE; pte_present gives true */ @@ -47,6 +51,10 @@ #define _PAGE_SPECIAL (_AT(pteval_t, 1) << _PAGE_BIT_SPECIAL) #define _PAGE_CPA_TEST (_AT(pteval_t, 1) << _PAGE_BIT_CPA_TEST) #define _PAGE_SPLITTING (_AT(pteval_t, 1) << _PAGE_BIT_SPLITTING) +#define _PAGE_PKEY_BIT0 (_AT(pteval_t, 1) << _PAGE_BIT_PKEY_BIT0) +#define _PAGE_PKEY_BIT1 (_AT(pteval_t, 1) << _PAGE_BIT_PKEY_BIT1) +#define _PAGE_PKEY_BIT2 (_AT(pteval_t, 1) << _PAGE_BIT_PKEY_BIT2) +#define _PAGE_PKEY_BIT3 (_AT(pteval_t, 1) << _PAGE_BIT_PKEY_BIT3) #define __HAVE_ARCH_PTE_SPECIAL #ifdef CONFIG_KMEMCHECK _ -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
