So the remaining question at this point is whether the Intel
behavior (default-deny instead of default-allow) is preferable.

Florian, remind me what behavior needs to fixed?

See the other thread.  The Intel register equivalent to the AMR by
default disallows access to yet-unallocated keys, so that threads
which are created before key allocation do not magically gain access
to a key allocated by another thread.

Are you referring to the thread
'[PATCH] pkeys: Introduce PKEY_ALLOC_SIGNALINHERIT and change signal semantics'

Otherwise please point me to the URL of that thread. Sorry and thankx. :)

No, it's this issue:

  <https://lists.ozlabs.org/pipermail/linuxppc-dev/2018-May/173157.html>

The UAMOR part has been fixed (thanks), but I think processes still start out with default-allow AMR.

Thanks,
Florian
