[PATCH 0/5] Pkey User clean up patches

[PATCH 0/5] Pkey User clean up patches

[ira.weiny]

From: Ira Weiny <ira.weiny@intel.com>

I'm looking for acks that this is acceptable for official submission to the
maintainers.  I believe the code to be better than RFC quality but I realize
that the type changes may be more churn than is desired.

The following patches contain pkey cleanups and an attempt to standardize on
the type used for pkeys.

The PKS code is standardizing on u8 for the pkey type and for some of the call
paths in the user space code this should work as well.

Ira Weiny (5):

[PATCH 3/5] powerpc/pkeys: Properly type pkey in init_{i}amr()

[ira.weiny]

From: Ira Weiny <ira.weiny@intel.com>

Negative values passed to pkeyshift() will cause an overflow of the amr
and imar values.  Pkey should not be negative in this call path and u8
is large enough for the 32 pkeys available on powerpc.

Change pkey to u8 in init_amr() and init_iamr().

[PATCH 4/5] mm/pkeys: Make pkey unsigned in arch_set_user_pkey_access()

[ira.weiny]

From: Ira Weiny <ira.weiny@intel.com>

The WARN_ON check in arch_set_user_pkey_access() in the x86 architecture
fails to check for an invalid negative value.

A simple check for less than 0 would fix this issue however, in the call
stack below arch_set_user_pkey_access() the pkey should never be
negative on any architecture.  x86 only supports 16 keys while ppc
supports 32, u8 is therefore large enough for all current architectures
and likely those in the future.

Change the type of the pkey passed to arch_set_user_pkey_access() to u8.

[PATCH 5/5] x86/pkeys: Standardize on u8 for pkey type

[ira.weiny]

From: Ira Weiny <ira.weiny@intel.com>

The number of pkeys supported on x86 and powerpc are much smaller than a
u16 value can hold.  It is desirable to standardize on the type for
pkeys.  powerpc currently supports the most pkeys at 32.  u8 is plenty
large for that.

Standardize on the pkey types by changing u16 to u8.

[PATCH 5/5] x86/pkeys: Standardize on u8 for pkey type

[ira.weiny]

From: Ira Weiny <ira.weiny@intel.com>

The number of pkeys supported on x86 and powerpc are much smaller than a
u16 value can hold.  It is desirable to standardize on the type for
pkeys.  powerpc currently supports the most pkeys at 32.  u8 is plenty
large for that.

Standardize on the pkey types by changing u16 to u8.

How widely was this intended to "standardize" things?  Looks like it may
have missed a few spots.

Also if we're worried about the type needing to change or with the wrong
type being used, I guess we could just to a pkey_t typedef.

Sorry I think the commit message is misleading you.  The justification of u8 as
the proper type is that no arch has a need for more than 255 pkeys.

This specific patch was intended to only change x86.  Per that goal I don't see
any other places in x86 which uses u16 after this patch.

$ git grep u16 arch/x86 | grep key
arch/x86/events/intel/uncore_discovery.c:	const u16 *type_id = key;
arch/x86/include/asm/intel_pconfig.h:	u16 keyid;
arch/x86/include/asm/mmu.h:	u16 pkey_allocation_map;
arch/x86/include/asm/pkeys.h:	u16 all_pkeys_mask = ((1U << arch_max_pkey()) - 1);

I'm not 'worried' about it.  But I do think it makes the code cleaner and more
self documenting.

I was also looking at the generic mm code.

Yeah, consistency is good.  Do you mind taking a look at how a pkey_t
would look, and also seeing how much core mm code should use it?
