[PATCH 09/34] x86, pkeys: store protection in high VMA flags

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

 



From: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

vma->vm_flags is an 'unsigned long', so has space for 32 flags
on 32-bit architectures.  The high 32 bits are unused on 64-bit
platforms.  We've steered away from using the unused high VMA
bits for things because we would have difficulty supporting it
on 32-bit.

Protection Keys are not available in 32-bit mode, so there is
no concern about supporting this feature in 32-bit mode or on
32-bit CPUs.

This patch carves out 4 bits from the high half of
vma->vm_flags and allows architectures to set config option
to make them available.

Sparse complains about these constants unless we explicitly
call them "UL".
