[RFC][PATCH 8/8] x86/pkeys: remove init_pkru_value variable

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

 



From: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

The kernel maintains a "default" PKRU value.  This is logically similar
to the hardware "init state", but the kernel chose a more restrictive
value.

This default is stored in a variable: 'init_pkru_value'.  The default
is also mirrored into the 'init_task' so that the value is picked up
by things like new kernel threads.

Both copies are not needed.  Remove the variable and depend instead
on the copy inside the 'init_task'.
