 Memory Protection Keys
 ======================

 Memory Protection Keys provides a mechanism for enforcing page-based
 protections, but without requiring modification of the page tables
-when an application changes protection domains.  It works by

+
+Kernel API for PKS support
+==========================
+
+The following interface is used to allocate, use, and free a pkey which defines
+a 'protection domain' within the kernel.  Setting a pkey value in a supervisor
+mapping adds that mapping to the protection domain.
+
+        int pks_key_alloc(const char * const pkey_user, int flags);
+        #define PAGE_KERNEL_PKEY(pkey)
+        #define _PAGE_KEY(pkey)
+        void pks_mk_noaccess(int pkey);
+        void pks_mk_readonly(int pkey);
+        void pks_mk_readwrite(int pkey);
+        void pks_key_free(int pkey);
+
+pks_key_alloc() allocates keys dynamically to allow better use of the limited
+key space.  'flags' alter the allocation based on the users need.  Currently
+they can request an exclusive key.
+
+Callers of pks_key_alloc() _must_ be prepared for it to fail and take
+appropriate action.  This is due mainly to the fact that PKS may not be
+available on all arch's.  Failure to check the return of pks_key_alloc() and
+using any of the rest of the API is undefined.
+
+Kernel users must set the PTE permissions in the page table entries for the
+mappings they want to protect.  This can be done with PAGE_KERNEL_PKEY() or
+_PAGE_KEY().
+
+The pks_mk*() family of calls allows kernel users the ability to change the
+protections for the domain identified by the pkey specified.  3 states are
+available pks_mk_noaccess(), pks_mk_readonly(), and pks_mk_readwrite() which
+set the access to none, read, and read/write respectively.
+
+Finally, pks_key_free() allows a user to return the key to the allocator for
+use by others.
+
+The interface maintains pks_mk_noaccess() (Access Disabled (AD=1)) for all keys
+not currently allocated.  Therefore, the user can depend on access being
+disabled when pks_key_alloc() returns a key and the user should remove mappings
+from the domain (remove the pkey from the PTE) prior to calling pks_key_free().
+
+It should be noted that the underlying WRMSR(MSR_IA32_PKRS) is not serializing
+but still maintains ordering properties similar to WRPKRU.  Thus it is safe to
+immediately use a mapping when the pks_mk*() functions returns.
+
+The current SDM section on PKRS needs updating but should be the same as that
+of WRPKRU.  So to quote from the WRPKRU text:
+
+	WRPKRU will never execute transiently. Memory accesses
+	affected by PKRU register will not execute (even transiently)
+	until all prior executions of WRPKRU have completed execution
+	and updated the PKRU register.
