pkeys: Reserve PKEY_DISABLE_READ

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Would it be possible to reserve a bit for PKEY_DISABLE_READ?

I think the POWER implementation can disable read access at the hardware
level, but not write access, and that cannot be expressed with the
current PKEY_DISABLE_ACCESS and PKEY_DISABLE_WRITE bits.

My upcoming POWER implementation of pkey_set and pkey_get in glibc would
benefit from this.

Thanks,
Florian
