From: Fenghua Yu <fenghua.yu@xxxxxxxxx>
PKS allows kernel users to define domains of page mappings which have
additional protections beyond the paging protections. Violating those
protections results in an oops.
Add an API to allocate, use, and free a protection key which identifies
such a domain. Export 5 new symbols pks_key_alloc(), pks_mk_noaccess(),
pks_mk_readonly(), pks_mk_readwrite(), and pks_key_free(). Add 2 new
macros; PAGE_KERNEL_PKEY(key) and _PAGE_PKEY(pkey).
Update the protection key documentation to cover pkeys on supervisor
pages.

+Kernel API for PKS support
+==========================
+
+Similar to user space pkeys, supervisor pkeys allow additional protections to
+be defined for a supervisor mappings. Unlike user space pkeys, Violations of
+these protections result in a a kernel oops.
+
+The following interface is used to allocate, use, and free a pkey which defines
+a 'protection domain' within the kernel. Setting a pkey value in a supervisor
+PTE adds this additional protection to the page.
+
+Kernel users intending to use PKS support should check (depend on)
+ARCH_HAS_SUPERVISOR_PKEYS and add their config to ARCH_ENABLE_SUPERVISOR_PKEYS
+to turn on this support within the core.
+
+ int pks_key_alloc(const char * const pkey_user);
+ #define PAGE_KERNEL_PKEY(pkey)
+ #define _PAGE_KEY(pkey)
+ void pks_mk_noaccess(int pkey);
+ void pks_mk_readonly(int pkey);
+ void pks_mk_readwrite(int pkey);
+ void pks_key_free(int pkey);
+
+pks_key_alloc() allocates keys dynamically to allow better use of the limited
+key space.
+
+Callers of pks_key_alloc() _must_ be prepared for it to fail and take
+appropriate action. This is due mainly to the fact that PKS may not be
+available on all arch's. Failure to check the return of pks_key_alloc() and
+using any of the rest of the API is undefined.
+
+Keys are allocated with 'No Access' permissions. If other permissions are
+required before the pkey is used, the pks_mk*() family of calls, documented
+below, can be used prior to setting the pkey within the page table entries.
+
+Kernel users must set the pkey in the page table entries for the mappings they
+want to protect. This can be done with PAGE_KERNEL_PKEY() or _PAGE_KEY().
+
+The pks_mk*() family of calls allows kernel users to change the protections for
+the domain identified by the pkey parameter. 3 states are available:
+pks_mk_noaccess(), pks_mk_readonly(), and pks_mk_readwrite() which set the
+access to none, read, and read/write respectively.
+
+Finally, pks_key_free() allows a user to return the key to the allocator for
+use by others.
+
+The interface maintains pks_mk_noaccess() (Access Disabled (AD=1)) for all keys
+not currently allocated. Therefore, the user can depend on access being
+disabled when pks_key_alloc() returns a key and the user should remove mappings
+from the domain (remove the pkey from the PTE) prior to calling pks_key_free().
+
+It should be noted that the underlying WRMSR(MSR_IA32_PKRS) is not serializing
+but still maintains ordering properties similar to WRPKRU. Thus it is safe to
+immediately use a mapping when the pks_mk*() functions return.
+
+Older versions of the SDM on PKRS may be wrong with regard to this
+serialization. The text should be the same as that of WRPKRU. From the WRPKRU
+text:
+
+ WRPKRU will never execute transiently. Memory accesses
+ affected by PKRU register will not execute (even transiently)
+ until all prior executions of WRPKRU have completed execution
+ and updated the PKRU register.
