From: Fenghua Yu <fenghua.yu@intel.com>

PKS allows kernel users to define domains of page mappings which have
additional protections beyond the paging protections.  Violating those
protections creates a fault which by default will oops.

Each kernel user defines a PKS_KEY_* key value which identifies a PKS
domain to be used exclusively by that kernel user.  This API is then
used to control which pages are part of that domain and the current
threads protection of those pages.

4 new functions are added pks_enabled(), pks_mk_noaccess(),
pks_mk_readonly(), and pks_mk_readwrite().  2 new macros are added
PAGE_KERNEL_PKEY(key) and _PAGE_PKEY(pkey).

Update the protection key documentation to cover pkeys on supervisor
pages.  This includes how to reserve a key and set the default
permissions on that key.

Change for V7
	Add pks_enabled() to allow users more dynamic choice on PKS use.
	Update documentation for key allocation
	Remove dynamic key allocation, keys will be allocated statically
	now.
	Add expected CPU generation support to documentation

+Kernel API for PKS support
+==========================
+
+Similar to user space pkeys, supervisor pkeys allow additional protections to
+be defined for a supervisor mappings.  Unlike user space pkeys, violations of
+these protections result in a a kernel oops.
+
+Supervisor Memory Protection Keys (PKS) is a feature which is found on Intel's
+Sapphire Rapids (and later) "Scalable Processor" Server CPUs.  It will also be
+available in future non-server Intel parts.
+
+Also qemu has some support as well: https://www.qemu.org/2021/04/30/qemu-6-0-0/
+
+Kernel users intending to use PKS support should depend on
+ARCH_HAS_SUPERVISOR_PKEYS, and add their config to ARCH_ENABLE_SUPERVISOR_PKEYS
+to turn on this support within the core.
+
+Users reserve a key value by adding an entry to the enum pks_pkey_consumers and
+defining the initial protections in the consumer_defaults[] array.
+
+For example to configure a key for 'MY_FEATURE' with a default of Write
+Disabled.
+
+::
+
+        enum pks_pkey_consumers
+        {
+	        PKS_KEY_DEFAULT,
+	        PKS_KEY_MY_FEATURE,
+	        PKS_KEY_NR_CONSUMERS
+        }
+
+        ...
+        consumer_defaults[PKS_KEY_DEFAULT]     = 0;
+        consumer_defaults[PKS_KEY_MY_FEATURE]  = PKR_DISABLE_WRITE;
+        ...
+
+The following interface is used to manipulate the 'protection domain' defined
+by a pkey within the kernel.  Setting a pkey value in a supervisor PTE adds
+this additional protection to the page.
+
+::
+
+        #define PAGE_KERNEL_PKEY(pkey)
+        #define _PAGE_KEY(pkey)
+        bool pks_enabled(void);
+        void pks_mk_noaccess(int pkey);
+        void pks_mk_readonly(int pkey);
+        void pks_mk_readwrite(int pkey);
+
+pks_enabled() allows users to know if PKS is configured and available on the
+current running system.
+
+Kernel users must set the pkey 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 allow indinvidual threads to change the
+protections for the domain identified by the pkey parameter.  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.
+
+The interface sets (Access Disabled (AD=1)) for all keys not in use.
+
+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 return.
+
+Older versions of the SDM on PKRS may be wrong with regard to this
+serialization.  The text should be the same as that of WRPKRU.  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.
