Subject: [PATCH 2/2] selftests: vm: pkeys: Fix powerpc access right updates
Date: Fri, 8 May 2020 23:19:15 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <5f65cf37be993760de8112a88da194e3ccbb2bf8.1588959697.git.sandipan@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1588959697.git.sandipan@linux.ibm.com>
In-Reply-To: <cover.1588959697.git.sandipan@linux.ibm.com>
The Power ISA mandates that all writes to the Authority
Mask Register (AMR) must always be preceded as well as
succeeded by a context-synchronizing instruction. This
applies to both the privileged and unprivileged variants
of the Move To AMR instruction.
Fixes: 130f573c2a79 ("selftests/vm/pkeys: introduce powerpc support")
