Yury Khrustalev f4d00dd60d AArch64: Add support for memory protection keys ... This patch adds support for memory protection keys on AArch64 systems with enabled Stage 1 permission overlays feature introduced in Armv8.9 / 9.4 (FEAT_S1POE) [1]. 1. Internal functions "pkey_read" and "pkey_write" to access data associated with memory protection keys. 2. Implementation of API functions "pkey_get" and "pkey_set" for the AArch64 target. 3. AArch64-specific PKEY flags for READ and EXECUTE (see below). 4. New target-specific test that checks behaviour of pkeys on AArch64 targets. 5. This patch also extends existing generic test for pkeys. 6. HWCAP constant for Permission Overlay Extension feature. To support more accurate mapping of underlying permissions to the PKEY flags, we introduce additional AArch64-specific flags. The full list of flags is: - PKEY_UNRESTRICTED: 0x0 (for completeness) - PKEY_DISABLE_ACCESS: 0x1 (existing flag) - PKEY_DISABLE_WRITE: 0x2 (existing flag) - PKEY_DISABLE_EXECUTE: 0x4 (new flag, AArch64 specific) - PKEY_DISABLE_READ: 0x8 (new flag, AArch64 specific) The problem here is that PKEY_DISABLE_ACCESS has unusual semantics as it overlaps with existing PKEY_DISABLE_WRITE and new PKEY_DISABLE_READ. For this reason mapping between permission bits RWX and "restrictions" bits awxr (a for disable access, etc) becomes complicated: - PKEY_DISABLE_ACCESS disables both R and W - PKEY_DISABLE_{WRITE,READ} disables W and R respectively - PKEY_DISABLE_EXECUTE disables X Combinations like the one below are accepted although they are redundant: - PKEY_DISABLE_ACCESS | PKEY_DISABLE_READ | PKEY_DISABLE_WRITE Reverse mapping tries to retain backward compatibility and ORs PKEY_DISABLE_ACCESS whenever both flags PKEY_DISABLE_READ and PKEY_DISABLE_WRITE would be present. This will break code that compares pkey_get output with == instead of using bitwise operations. The latter is more correct since PKEY_* constants are essentially bit flags. It should be noted that PKEY_DISABLE_ACCESS does not prevent execution.
