Subject: [PATCH RFC v9 05/25] arm64: Implement asm/kpkeys.h using POE
Date: Tue, 18 Aug 2026 15:08:47 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260818-kpkeys-v9-5-743ad31b2c8f@arm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260818-kpkeys-v9-0-743ad31b2c8f@arm.com>
Implement the kpkeys interface if CONFIG_ARM64_POE is enabled.
The permissions for pkey 0 are set to RWX as this pkey is also used
for code mappings. POR_EL1 is left untouched if we have already
entered the requested context.
To allow <asm/kpkeys.h> to be included from assembly, also add
appropriate #ifdef's to <asm/por.h>.
Signed-off-by: Kevin Brodsky <kevin.brodsky@arm.com>
