  [PATCH 12/37] x86, pkeys: new page fault error code bit: PF_PK Dave Hansen <dave@sr71.net> - 2015-11-17 04:50 +0100

#1270822 — [PATCH 12/37] x86, pkeys: new page fault error code bit: PF_PK

From: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@linux.intel.com>

Note: "PK" is how the Intel SDM refers to this bit, so we also
use that nomenclature.

This only defines the bit, it does not plumb it anywhere to be
handled.
