scan_pkey_feature() uses of_property_read_u32_array() to read the
ibm,processor-storage-keys property and calls be32_to_cpu() on the
value it gets. The problem is that of_property_read_u32_array() already
returns the value converted to the CPU byte order.
The value of pkeys_total ends up more or less sane because there's a min()
call in pkey_initialize() which reduces pkeys_total to 32. So in practice
the kernel ignores the fact that the hypervisor reserved one key for
itself (the device tree advertises 31 keys in my test VM).
This is wrong, but the effect in practice is that when a process tries to
allocate the 32nd key, it gets an -EINVAL error instead of -ENOSPC which
would indicate that there aren't any keys available

Applications need the ability to associate an address-range with some
key and latter revert to its initial default key. Pkey-0 comes close to
providing this function but falls short, because the current
implementation disallows applications to explicitly associate pkey-0 to
the address range.
Lets make pkey-0 less special and treat it almost like any other key.
Thus it can be explicitly associated with any address range, and can be
freed. This gives the application more flexibility and power. The
ability to free pkey-0 must be used responsibily, since pkey-0 is
associated with almost all address-range by default.
Even with this change pkey-0 continues to be slightly more special
from the following point of view.
(a) it is implicitly allocated.
(b) it is the default key assigned to any address-range.
(c) its permissions cannot be modified by userspace.
NOTE: (c) is specific to powerpc only. pkey-0 is associated by default
with all pages including kernel pages, and pkeys are also active in
kernel mode. If any permission is denied on pkey-0, the kernel running
in the context of the application will be unable to operate.
Tested on powerpc.

execute-only key is allocated dynamically. This is a problem. When a
thread implicitly creates an execute-only key, and resets the 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.

Key allocation and deallocation has the side effect of programming the
UAMOR/AMR/IAMR registers. This is wrong, since its the responsibility of
the application and not that of the kernel, to modify the permission on
the key.
Do not modify the pkey registers at key allocation/deallocation.
This patch also fixes a bug where a sys_pkey_free() resets the UAMOR
bits of the key, thus making its permissions unmodifiable from user
space. Later if the same key gets reallocated from a different thread
this thread will no longer be able to change the permissions on the key.

Currently in a multithreaded application, a key allocated by one
thread is not usable by other threads. By "not usable" we mean that
other threads are unable to change the access permissions for that
key for themselves.
When a new key is allocated in one thread, the corresponding UAMOR
bits for that thread get enabled, however the UAMOR bits for that key
for all other threads remain disabled.
Other threads have no way to set permissions on the key, and the
current default permissions are that read/write is enabled for all
keys, which means the key has no effect for other threads. Although
that may be the desired behaviour in some circumstances, having all
threads able to control their permissions for the key is more
flexible.
The current behaviour also differs from the x86 behaviour, which is
problematic for users.
To fix this, enable the UAMOR bits for all keys, at process
creation (in start_thread(), ie exec time). Since the contents of
UAMOR are inherited at fork, all threads are capable of modifying the
permissions on any key.
This is technically an ABI break on powerpc, but pkey support is fairly
new on powerpc and not widely used, and this brings us into
line with x86.

PAPR defines 'ibm,processor-storage-keys' property. It exports two
values. The first value holds the number of data-access keys and the
second holds the number of instruction-access keys. Due to a bug in
the firmware, instruction-access keys is always reported as zero.
However any key can be configured to disable data-access and/or
disable execution-access. The inavailablity of the second value is not
a big handicap, though it could have been used to determine if the
platform supported disable-execution-access.
Non-PAPR platforms do not define this property in the device tree yet.
Fortunately power8 is the only released Non-PAPR platform that is
supported. Here, we hardcode the number of supported pkey to 32, by
consulting the PowerISA3.0
This patch calculates the number of keys supported by the platform.
Also it determines the platform support for read/write/execution
access support for pkeys.

Total 32 keys are available on power7 and above. However
pkey 0,1 are reserved. So effectively we have 30 pkeys.
On 4K kernels, we do not have 5 bits in the PTE to
represent all the keys; we only have 3bits. Two of those
keys are reserved; pkey 0 and pkey 1. So effectively we
have 6 pkeys.
This patch keeps track of reserved keys, allocated keys
and keys that are currently free.
Also it adds skeletal functions and macros, that the
architecture-independent code expects to be available.
