[PATCH v1 00/20] Permission Overlay Extension

[Joey Gouly]

Hi all,

This series implements the Permission Overlay Extension introduced in 2022
VMSA enhancements [1]. It is based on v6.6-rc3.

The Permission Overlay Extension allows to constrain permissions on memory
regions. This can be used from userspace (EL0) without a system call or TLB
invalidation.

POE is used to implement the Memory Protection Keys [2] Linux syscall.

The first few patches add the basic framework, then the PKEYS interface is
implemented, and then the selftests are made to work on arm64.

There was discussion about what the 'default' protection key value should be,
I used disallow-all (apart from pkey 0), which matches what x86 does.

Patch 15 contains a call to cpus_have_const_cap(), which I couldn't avoid
until Mark's patch to re-order when the alternatives were applied [3] is
committed.

The KVM part isn't tested yet.

I have tested the modified protection_keys test on x86_64 [4], but not PPC.


Hopefully I have CC'd everyone correctly.

Thanks,
Joey
