AMD's next generation of EPYC processors support the MPK (Memory Protection Keys) feature. Add a generic X86_MEMORY_PROTECTION_KEYS config shadowing X86_INTEL_MEMORY_PROTECTION_KEYS and update the kernel documentation. No functional changes. Signed-off-by: Babu Moger <babu.moger@xxxxxxx> --- v5: - Just submiting the first config update patch. Paulo said he already queued patch 2 & 3. - This patch addresses the few text changes suggested by Dave Hansen. v4: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/158932780954.44260.4292038705292213548.stgit@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/ - Removed all the source changes related to config parameter. Just kept the doc cahnges and add new config parameter X86_MEMORY_PROTECTION_KEYS which shadows X86_INTEL_MEMORY_PROTECTION_KEYS. - Minor change in feature detection in kvm/cpuid.c v3: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/158923982830.20128.14580309786525588408.stgit@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/#r - Fixed the problem Jim Mattson pointed out which can cause pkru resources to get corrupted during host and guest switches. - Moved the PKU feature detection code from VMX.c to common code. v2: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/158897190718.22378.3974700869904223395.stgit@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/ - Introduced intermediate config option X86_MEMORY_PROTECTION_KEYS to avoid user propmpts. Kept X86_INTEL_MEMORY_PROTECTION_KEYS as is. Eventually, we will be moving to X86_MEMORY_PROTECTION_KEYS after couple of kernel revisions. - Moved pkru data structures to kvm_vcpu_arch. Moved save/restore pkru to kvm_load_host_xsave_state/kvm_load_guest_xsave_state. v1: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/158880240546.11615.2219410169137148044.stgit@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/ Documentation/core-api/protection-keys.rst | 5 +++-- arch/x86/Kconfig | 11 +++++++++-- 2 files changed, 12 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) diff --git a/Documentation/core-api/protection-keys.rst b/Documentation/core-api/protection-keys.rst index 49d9833af871..ec575e72d0b2 100644 --- a/Documentation/core-api/protection-keys.rst +++ b/Documentation/core-api/protection-keys.rst @@ -5,8 +5,9 @@ Memory Protection Keys ====================== Memory Protection Keys for Userspace (PKU aka PKEYs) is a feature -which is found on Intel's Skylake "Scalable Processor" Server CPUs. -It will be avalable in future non-server parts. +which is found on Intel's Skylake (and later) "Scalable Processor" +Server CPUs.
