The encoding of the pkey register differs on arm64, than on x86/ppc. On those platforms, a bit in the register is used to disable permissions, for arm64, a bit enabled in the register indicates that the permission is allowed. This drops two asserts of the form: assert(read_pkey_reg() <= orig_pkey_reg); Because on arm64 this doesn't hold, due to the encoding. The pkey must be reset to both access allow and write allow in the signal handler. pkey_access_allow() works currently for PowerPC as the PKEY_DISABLE_ACCESS and PKEY_DISABLE_WRITE have overlapping bits set. Access to the uc_mcontext is abstracted, as arm64 has a different structure.

Linux kernel
============
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 reStructuredText 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.
