Currently in a multithreaded application, a key allocated by one
thread is not usable by other threads. By "not usable" we mean that
other threads are unable to change the access permissions for that
key for themselves.
When a new key is allocated in one thread, the corresponding UAMOR
bits for that thread get enabled, however the UAMOR bits for that key
for all other threads remain disabled.
Other threads have no way to set permissions on the key, and the
current default permissions are that read/write is enabled for all
keys, which means the key has no effect for other threads. Although
that may be the desired behaviour in some circumstances, having all
threads able to control their permissions for the key is more
flexible.
The current behaviour also differs from the x86 behaviour, which is
problematic for users.
To fix this, enable the UAMOR bits for all keys, at process
creation (in start_thread(), ie exec time). Since the contents of
UAMOR are inherited at fork, all threads are capable of modifying the
permissions on any key.
This is technically an ABI break on powerpc, but pkey support is fairly
new on powerpc and not widely used, and this brings us into
line with x86.
