The flags argument to plpar_pte_protect() (aka. H_PROTECT), includes
the key in bits 9-13, but currently we always set those bits to zero.
In the past that hasn't been a problem because we always used key 0
for the kernel, and updateboltedpp() is only used for kernel mappings.
However since commit d94b827e89dc ("powerpc/book3s64/kuap: Use Key 3
for kernel mapping with hash translation") we are now inadvertently
changing the key (to zero) when we call plpar_pte_protect().
That hasn't broken anything because updateboltedpp() is only used for
STRICT_KERNEL_RWX, which is currently disabled on 64s due to other
bugs.
But we want to fix that, so first we need to pass the key correctly to
plpar_pte_protect(). We can't pass our newpp value directly in, we
have to convert it into the form expected by the hcall.
The hcall we're using here is H_PROTECT, which is specified in section
14.5.4.1.6 of LoPAPR v1.1.
It takes a `flags` parameter, and the description for flags says:
* flags: AVPN, pp0, pp1, pp2, key0-key4, n, and for the CMO
option: CMO Option flags as defined in Table 189‚
If you then go to the start of the parent section, 14.5.4.1, on page
405, it says:
Register Linkage (For hcall() tokens 0x04 - 0x18)
* On Call
* R3 function call token
* R4 flags (see Table 178‚ “Page Frame Table Access flags field
definition‚” on page 401)
Then you have to go to section 14.5.3, and on page 394 there is a list
of hcalls and their tokens (table 176), and there you can see that
H_PROTECT == 0x18.
Finally you can look at table 178, on page 401, where it specifies the
layout of the bits for the key:
Bit Function
-----------------
50-54 | key0-key4
Those are big-endian bit numbers, converting to normal bit numbers you
get bits 9-13, or 0x3e00.
In the kernel we have:
#define HPTE_R_KEY_HI ASM_CONST(0x3000000000000000)
#define HPTE_R_KEY_LO ASM_CONST(0x0000000000000e00)
So the LO bits of newpp are already in the right place, and the HI
bits need to be shifted down by 48.

============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
