[PATCH 0/9] x86, pkeys: two protection keys bug fixes

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

 



This fixes two bugs, and adds selftests to make sure they stay fixed:

1. pkey 0 was not usable via mprotect_pkey() because it had never
   been explicitly allocated.
2. mprotect(PROT_EXEC) memory could sometimes be left with the
   implicit exec-only protection key assigned.

I already posted #1 previously.  I'm including them both here because
I don't think it's been picked up in case folks want to pull these
all in a single bundle.
