This patch implements Kernel Userspace Access Protection for
book3s/32.
Due to limitations of the processor page protection capabilities,
the protection is only against writing. read protection cannot be
achieved using page protection.
In order to provide the protection, Ku and Ks keys are modified in
Userspace Segment registers, and different PP bits are used to:
PP01 provides RW for Key 0 and RO for Key 1
PP10 provides RW for all
PP11 provides RO for all
Today PP10 is used for RW pages and PP11 for RO pages. This patch
modifies page protection to PP01 for RW pages.
Then segment registers are set to Ku 0 and Ks 1. When kernel needs
to write to RW pages, the associated segment register is changed to
Ks 0 in order to allow write access to the kernel.
In order to avoid having the read all segment registers when
locking/unlocking the access, some data is kept in the thread_struct
and saved on stack on exceptions. The field identifies both the
first unlocked segment and the first segment following the last
unlocked one. When no segment is unlocked, it contains value 0.

Hey Christophe, I tried to test this and got a machine check after the
kernel starts init.
A program check you mean ?
Vector: 700 (Program Check) at [ef0b5e70]
pc: 00000ca4
lr: b7e1a030
sp: ef0b5f30
msr: 81002
current = 0xef0b8000
pid = 1, comm = init
Testing with mac99 model in qemu.
That's pretty surprising. At 0xca4 there is nothing particular for me.
This is a handler for system call. Do you have the same ?
How can this trigger a program check ? According to the MSR, the check
is due to an illegal instruction (bit 12). An we are with MMU off.
