Subject: [PATCH 06/12] x86, pkeys: store protection in high VMA flags
Date: Thu, 07 May 2015 10:41:34 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20150507174134.49B148E4@viggo.jf.intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20150507174132.34AF8FAF@viggo.jf.intel.com>


vma->vm_flags is an 'unsigned long', so has space for 32 flags
on 32-bit architectures.  The high 32 bits are unused on 64-bit
platforms.  We've steered away from using the unused high VMA
bits for things because we would have difficulty supporting it
on 32-bit.

Protection Keys are not available in 32-bit mode, so there is
no concern about supporting this feature in 32-bit mode or on
32-bit CPUs.

This patch carves out 4 bits from the high half of
vma->vm_flags and allows architectures to set config option
to make them available.
