Subject: [PATCH RFC PKS/PMEM 01/58] x86/pks: Add a global pkrs option

From: [email-masked]
Date: Fri, 9 Oct 2020 12:49:36 -0700

From: Ira Weiny <[email-masked]>

Some users, such as kmap(), sometimes requires PKS to be global.
However, updating all CPUs, and worse yet all threads is expensive.

Introduce a global PKRS state which is checked at critical times to
allow the state to enable access when global PKS is required.  To
accomplish this with minimal locking; the code is carefully designed
with the following key concepts.

1) Borrow the idea of lazy TLB invalidations from the fault handler
   code.  When enabling PKS access we anticipate that other threads are
   not yet running.  However, if they are we catch the fault and clean
   up the MSR value.

2) When disabling PKS access we force all MSR values across all CPU's.
   This is required to block access as soon as possible.[1]  However, it
   is key that we never attempt to update the per-task PKS values
   directly.  See next point.

3) Per-task PKS values never get updated with global PKS values.  This
   is key to prevent locking requirements and a nearly intractable
   problem of trying to update every task in the system.  Here are a few
   key points.

   3a) The MSR value can be updated with the global PKS value if that
   global value happened to change while the task was running.

   3b) If the task was sleeping while the global PKS was updated then
   the global value is added in when task's are scheduled.

   3c) If the global PKS value restricts access the MSR is updated as
   soon as possible[1] and the thread value is not updated which ensures
   the thread does not retain the elevated privileges after a context
   switch.

4) Follow on patches must be careful to preserve the separation of the
   thread PKRS value and the MSR value.

5) Access Disable on any individual pkey is turned into (Access Disable
   | Write Disable) to facilitate faster integration of the global value
   into the thread local MSR through a simple '&' operation.  Doing
   otherwise would result in complicated individual bit manipulation for
   each pkey.

[1] There is a race condition which is ignored which is required for
performance issues.  This potentially allows access to a thread until
the end of it's time slice.  After the context switch the global value
will be restored.
