[RFC v5 12/38] mm: ability to disable execute permission on a key at creation

From: Ram Pai <hidden>

Subsystem: generic include/asm header files, memory mapping - madvise (memory advice), the rest · Maintainers: Arnd Bergmann, Andrew Morton, Liam R. Howlett, Lorenzo Stoakes, David Hildenbrand, Linus Torvalds

Currently sys_pkey_create() provides the ability to disable read
and write permission on the key, at  creation. powerpc  has  the
hardware support to disable execute on a pkey as well.This patch
enhances the interface to let disable execute  at  key  creation
time. x86 does  not  allow  this.  Hence the next patch will add
ability  in  x86  to  return  error  if  PKEY_DISABLE_EXECUTE is
specified.
