Yury Khrustalev f4d00dd60d AArch64: Add support for memory protection keys
This patch adds support for memory protection keys on AArch64 systems with
enabled Stage 1 permission overlays feature introduced in Armv8.9 / 9.4
(FEAT_S1POE) [1].

 1. Internal functions "pkey_read" and "pkey_write" to access data
    associated with memory protection keys.
 2. Implementation of API functions "pkey_get" and "pkey_set" for
    the AArch64 target.
 3. AArch64-specific PKEY flags for READ and EXECUTE (see below).
 4. New target-specific test that checks behaviour of pkeys on
    AArch64 targets.
 5. This patch also extends existing generic test for pkeys.
 6. HWCAP constant for Permission Overlay Extension feature.

To support more accurate mapping of underlying permissions to the
PKEY flags, we introduce additional AArch64-specific flags. The full
list of flags is:

 - PKEY_UNRESTRICTED: 0x0 (for completeness)
 - PKEY_DISABLE_ACCESS: 0x1 (existing flag)
 - PKEY_DISABLE_WRITE: 0x2 (existing flag)
 - PKEY_DISABLE_EXECUTE: 0x4 (new flag, AArch64 specific)
 - PKEY_DISABLE_READ: 0x8 (new flag, AArch64 specific)

The problem here is that PKEY_DISABLE_ACCESS has unusual semantics as
it overlaps with existing PKEY_DISABLE_WRITE and new PKEY_DISABLE_READ.
For this reason mapping between permission bits RWX and "restrictions"
bits awxr (a for disable access, etc) becomes complicated:

 - PKEY_DISABLE_ACCESS disables both R and W
 - PKEY_DISABLE_{WRITE,READ} disables W and R respectively
 - PKEY_DISABLE_EXECUTE disables X

Combinations like the one below are accepted although they are redundant:

 - PKEY_DISABLE_ACCESS | PKEY_DISABLE_READ | PKEY_DISABLE_WRITE

Reverse mapping tries to retain backward compatibility and ORs
PKEY_DISABLE_ACCESS whenever both flags PKEY_DISABLE_READ and
PKEY_DISABLE_WRITE would be present.

This will break code that compares pkey_get output with == instead
of using bitwise operations. The latter is more correct since PKEY_*
constants are essentially bit flags.

It should be noted that PKEY_DISABLE_ACCESS does not prevent execution.

This directory contains the sources of the GNU C Library.
See the file "version.h" for what release version you have.

The GNU C Library is the standard system C library for all GNU systems,
and is an important part of what makes up a GNU system.  It provides the
system API for all programs written in C and C-compatible languages such
as C++ and Objective C; the runtime facilities of other programming
languages use the C library to access the underlying operating system.

In GNU/Linux systems, the C library works with the Linux kernel to
implement the operating system behavior seen by user applications.
In GNU/Hurd systems, it works with a microkernel and Hurd servers.

The GNU C Library implements much of the POSIX.1 functionality in the
GNU/Hurd system, using configurations i[4567]86-*-gnu and x86_64-gnu.

When working with Linux kernels, this version of the GNU C Library
requires Linux kernel version 3.2 or later.

Also note that the shared version of the libgcc_s library must be
installed for the pthread library to work correctly.

The GNU C Library supports these configurations for using Linux kernels:

	aarch64*-*-linux-gnu
	alpha*-*-linux-gnu
	arc*-*-linux-gnu
	arm-*-linux-gnueabi
	csky-*-linux-gnuabiv2
	hppa-*-linux-gnu
	i[4567]86-*-linux-gnu
	x86_64-*-linux-gnu	Can build either x86_64 or x32
	loongarch64-*-linux-gnu Hardware floating point, LE only.

	or1k-*-linux-gnu
	powerpc-*-linux-gnu	Hardware or software floating point, BE only.

If you are interested in doing a port, please contact the glibc
maintainers; see https://www.gnu.org/software/libc/ for more
information.

See the file INSTALL to find out how to configure, build, and install
the GNU C Library.  You might also consider reading the WWW pages for
the C library at https://www.gnu.org/software/libc/.

The GNU C Library is (almost) completely documented by the Texinfo manual
found in the `manual/' subdirectory.  The manual is still being updated
and contains some known errors and omissions; we regret that we do not
have the resources to work on the manual as much as we would like.  For
corrections to the manual, please file a bug in the `manual' component,
following the bug-reporting instructions below.  Please be sure to check
the manual in the current development sources to see if your problem has
already been corrected.

Please see https://www.gnu.org/software/libc/bugs.html for bug reporting
information.  We are now using the Bugzilla system to track all bug reports.
This web page gives detailed information on how to report bugs properly.

The GNU C Library is free software.  See the file COPYING.LIB for copying
conditions, and LICENSES for notices about a few contributions that require
these additional notices to be distributed.  License copyright years may be
listed using range notation, e.g., 1996-2015, indicating that every year in
the range, inclusive, is a copyrightable year that would otherwise be listed
individually.
