Total 32 keys are available on power7 and above. However pkey 0,1 are reserved. So effectively we have 30 pkeys. On 4K kernels, we do not have 5 bits in the PTE to represent all the keys; we only have 3bits. Two of those keys are reserved; pkey 0 and pkey 1. So effectively we have 6 pkeys. This patch keeps track of reserved keys, allocated keys and keys that are currently free. Also it adds skeletal functions and macros, that the architecture-independent code expects to be available.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
