[RFC v5 12/38] mm: ability to disable execute permission on a key at creation

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

 



Currently sys_pkey_create() provides the ability to disable read
and write permission on the key, at  creation. powerpc  has  the
hardware support to disable execute on a pkey as well.This patch
enhances the interface to let disable execute  at  key  creation
time. x86 does  not  allow  this.  Hence the next patch will add
ability  in  x86  to  return  error  if  PKEY_DISABLE_EXECUTE is
specified.
