execute-only key is allocated dynamically. This is a problem.  When a
thread implicitly creates a execute-only key, and resets UAMOR for that
key, the UAMOR value does not percolate to all the other threads.  Any
other thread may ignorantly change the permissions on the key.  This can
cause the key to be not execute-only for that thread.

Preallocate the execute-only key and ensure that no thread can change
the permission of the key, by resetting the corresponding bit in UAMOR.

OK this is a non-ABI changing bug fix AFAICS.

I'll add:

  Fixes: 5586cf61e108 ("powerpc: introduce execute-only pkey")
  Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # v4.16+

Do we ensure we have at least 3 keys anywhere?

cheers

No. Good to add. Can this be different patch?

However we do not have any systems with less than 16keys AFAICT.

Yes please.

It's controllable by firmware so we have between 0 and ∞ keys :)

But yeah you're right it's unlikely to be a bug anyone hits in practice.

Hello,

My understanding is that this patch isn't upstream yet and it's not too
late for bikeshedding. Please ignore if this is not the case.

There's no reason to have a separate  __execute_only_pkey() function
anymore. Its single line can go directly in execute_only_pkey(), defined
in <asm/pkeys.h>.
